Summary

Golosi Adult Beef & Rice is a complete dry food formulated to meet the nutritional needs of adult cats.

It offers high biological value proteins from beef (6%) and chicken (28%).

The inclusion of prebiotics like FOS and brewer’s yeast supports nutrient absorption, digestive health, and a healthy skin and coat.

With antioxidants like grape seed and olive extracts, the formula helps combat oxidative stress and promotes cardiovascular health.

Green-lipped mussel powder provides joint support and aids connective tissue regeneration.

This balanced recipe, with 33% protein and 13% fat, is suitable for cats with refined palates and ensures optimal health and vitality.

 

Pros:

  • High protein content: Contains 33% crude protein from beef and chicken to support muscle tone and overall health.
  • Digestive support: Enriched with FOS and brewer’s yeast for improved nutrient absorption and digestive wellness.
  • Antioxidant benefits: Grape seed and olive extracts protect against oxidative stress and support immune and cardiovascular health.
  • Joint health support: Includes green-lipped mussel powder for its anti-inflammatory and joint-regenerative properties.
  • Skin and coat care: Brewer’s yeast promotes skin health and a shiny coat.

 

Cons:

  • Low beef inclusion: Beef content is limited to 6%, which may not appeal to cats requiring a stronger beef flavor.
  • Grain content: It contains 4% rice, which may not suit cats with grain allergies or sensitivities.
  • Moderate omega-3 content: Omega-3 levels (0.16%) are lower than in some premium formulations.
  • Minimal joint support ingredients: The green-lipped mussel content (0.005%) may provide limited joint health benefits.
  • Fat content: At 13%, it may not suit cats requiring lower fat intake for weight management.

Notes

Information about antioxidants and preservatives is missing or insufficient. Since I didn’t want to remove points due to this missing info without any proof, I evaluated this food assuming the natural preservatives were used. But note that this is just an assumption.
Ingredients in this food are listed as categories rather than specific named products. This EU permitted method doesn’t allow me a proper evaluation of the food since I usually don’t have any indication of the real quality of ingredients in each listed category. Therefore I evaluate each such category as the corresponding ingredient of the worst quality: cereals = corn, meat and meat derivatives = partial by-product + unknown source of the meat, oils and fats = unknown source of the fat.

How the score is calculated?

The actual calculation of the score is based on sophisticated and advanced algorithm that takes into account multiple parameters.

To simplify the explanation, the calculation is based on three main criteria:

(1) Amount of protein (more is better)

(2) Amount of carbohydrates (less is better)

(3) Quality and source of ingredients.

Based on that 3 main criteria, 9 score calculation rules are used to compare the different foods.

One major assumption is that the closer an ingredient is to the top of the ingredient list, the greater its relative weight and contribution to the food.

In general, cat food is composed of protein, fats, carbohydrates, fibers, vitamins, and minerals.

Protein is the most important component in a cat's diet, and cats primarily get their protein from animal meat.

Fat is a primary source of energy and essential fatty acids.

Carbohydrates are controversial in a cat's diet, as cats are obligate carnivores and typically consume very few carbohydrates.

Fibers play an important role in digestion and food absorption, and vitamins and minerals are essential for different organism functions.

Dry matter values are used to compare the amount of nutrients in different cat foods. This means that moisture is excluded from the equation to provide a more accurate comparison.

Putting all of these and more into a formula results in a product score.

The maximum score a cat food can receive is 100. Points are added or removed based on the score calculation rules.
