Summary
HT Kitten Chicken & Rice is a complete and balanced super-premium food designed for kittens from 30 days of age and for pregnant and lactating cats.
The primary ingredient is dehydrated chicken protein (30%), which provides high animal-based protein that supports growth and muscle development.
With 5% rice and a reduced cereal content, the formula aims to be more digestible and better suited to a kitten’s nutritional needs.
Essential fatty acids from fish oil and corn oil contribute to skin and coat health, while fish meal provides additional protein and omega-3 fatty acids.
Natural antioxidants, including blueberry, pomegranate, and rosemary extracts, support the immune system and overall well-being.
Taurine is included at 1,800 mg/kg to support vision and heart health.
The formulation follows an ancestral diet concept, with 70% protein from animal, 20% from plant, and 10% from fruits, minerals, and vitamins.
Pros:
High animal protein content: 34% crude protein from chicken and fish meal supports muscle growth and development.
Balanced fat levels for energy: 17.5% fat from oils and animal sources provides sustained energy for active kittens.
Supports skin and coat health: Fish oil, corn oil, and omega fatty acids contribute to a healthy coat and skin.
Digestive and immune support: Natural blueberry and pomegranate extracts provide antioxidants, while beet pulp aids digestion.
Essential amino acids include: Taurine (1,800 mg/kg) and DL-methionine (3,000 mg/kg) support heart, vision, and metabolic functions.
Cons:
Contains cereals: Although cereals are reduced, including corn and rice may not be suitable for kittens sensitive to grains.
Moderate fiber content: With only 1.3% crude fiber, some kittens may require additional fiber sources for optimal digestion.
Limited omega-3 details: The exact omega-3 fatty acid content (DHA & EPA) is not specified while fish oil is included.
Slightly high ash content: At 6.5%, the ash level is moderate, but some kittens may benefit from a lower ash content for kidney health.

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.
