Summary

Golosi Sterilised Chicken & Rice is a complete dry food designed specifically for sterilized cats.

It addresses their reduced energy needs while ensuring high palatability for picky eaters.

The formula contains 22.4% chicken and 12% rice, offering a light, digestible protein source and easily absorbed carbohydrates.

Enriched with L-carnitine (450 mg/kg), it promotes fat metabolism, helps prevent weight gain, and supports the maintenance of lean muscle mass.

Magnesium (0.099%) and phosphorus (1%) levels, alongside urinary pH control, contribute to urinary tract health.

Grape seed and olive extracts, which are antioxidant-rich, support the immune system, while green-lipped mussels aid joint health and connective tissue regeneration.

 

Pros:

  • High protein content: Provides 34% crude protein, supporting muscle maintenance in sedentary, sterilized cats.
  • Weight management: This program includes L-carnitine (450 mg/kg) to enhance fat metabolism and help maintain an ideal weight.
  • Urinary health: Balanced magnesium (0.099%) and phosphorus (1%) levels promote urinary tract wellness and pH balance.
  • Antioxidant support: Contains grape seed and olive extracts for immune support and anti-aging benefits.
  • Joint health benefits: Green-lipped mussel powder (Perna canaliculus) supports joint health and connective tissue regeneration.
  • Palatable formulation: Designed with 22.4% chicken, it appeals to cats with picky tastes.

 

Cons:

  • Moderate omega-3 content: Omega-3 levels (0.22%) are lower than premium sterilized cat formulations.
  • Grain inclusion: Contains 12% rice, which may not suit cats with grain sensitivities.
  • Fat content: At 13%, fat levels may not be ideal for cats requiring stricter calorie control.
  • Low green-lipped mussel inclusion: The mussel powder content is minimal (0.005%), limiting its joint-supporting potential.
  • No fresh meat inclusion: Relies on derivatives and processed chicken rather than fresh or whole protein sources.

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.
