HT
Adult Hairball Chicken & Rice
Summary
HT: Adult Hairball Chicken & Rice is a superpremium dry food formulated for adult cats from one year of age and older.
It is designed to support hairball elimination with a fiber-rich formulation that promotes proper intestinal transit.
The primary protein source is dehydrated chicken protein (30%), making up a significant portion of the 70% total animal protein content.
Carbohydrates come from corn and rice (5%), providing an energy source and increasing overall carbohydrate content.
The formula includes fish meal, beet pulp, fish oil, and corn gluten, which contribute to digestibility support and essential fatty acids.
Functional ingredients such as brewer’s yeast and chicken protein hydrolysate enhance palatability and amino acid profile.
Natural extracts of blueberry, pomegranate, bioflavonoids, and rosemary act as antioxidants, supporting immune function and cellular health.
The food is fortified with essential vitamins and minerals, including 1,800 mg/kg of taurine, which is crucial for heart and eye health.
Pros:
- High-quality protein: 30% dehydrated chicken protein provides a substantial amount of digestible animal-based protein.
- Hairball control: Natural fibers, including beet pulp, help maintain intestinal transit and support the natural elimination of hairballs.
- Balanced minerals: 1.00% calcium and 0.9% phosphorus support bone health and metabolic functions.
- Antioxidant support: Blueberry, pomegranate, and bioflavonoids may help reduce oxidative stress and support immune health.
- Taurine enrichment: 1,800 mg/kg supports cardiovascular and ocular health.
Cons:
- Grain-based carbohydrates: Corn and rice increase carbohydrate levels, which may not be ideal for obligate carnivores.
- Moderate fiber content: 1.50% crude fiber may not be sufficient for some cats prone to hairballs.
- Fish-based ingredients: Fish meal and fish oil may not be suitable for cats with fish allergies.
- Added sodium chloride: Extra salt intake may not be ideal for cats requiring a low-sodium diet.
- Use of hydrolyzed chicken protein: While improving digestibility, hydrolyzed proteins are more processed than whole meat sources.

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.
