Summary

HT: Kitten Chicken & Rice is a superpremium dry food formulated for kittens from 30 days of age onwards.

It is also suitable for pregnant and lactating cats, providing essential nutrients for growth and development.

The primary protein source is dehydrated chicken protein (30%), contributing to 70% total animal protein content.

With 34% crude protein and 17.50% crude fat, the formula supports muscle development, healthy growth, and energy needs.

Carbohydrates come from corn and rice (5%), supplying digestible energy but also increasing the overall carbohydrate content.

The recipe includes fish meal, beet pulp, and fish oil, 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 balance.

Natural extracts of blueberry, pomegranate, bioflavonoids, and rosemary provide antioxidant support and immune function benefits.

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 protein content: 34% crude protein supports muscle development and overall growth in kittens.
  • Increased fat content: 17.50% crude fat provides necessary energy for growing kittens and lactating cats.
  • Essential fatty acids: Fish meal and fish oil contribute to skin and coat health.
  • Antioxidant support: Blueberry, pomegranate, and bioflavonoids help support immune health.
  • Taurine enrichment: 1,800 mg/kg of taurine supports cardiovascular and ocular health.

 

Cons:

  • Grain-based carbohydrates: The inclusion of corn and rice increases carbohydrate levels, which may not be ideal for obligate carnivores.
  • Use of fish-based ingredients: Fish meal and fish oil provide nutritional benefits but may not be suitable for kittens with fish allergies.
  • Moderate fiber content: At 1.30% crude fiber, the formula may not provide optimal digestive support for some kittens.
  • Added sodium chloride: Extra salt may not be necessary for all kittens, particularly those on low-sodium diets.
  • 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.
