HT
Sterilized Chicken & Turkey
Summary
HT: Sterilized Chicken & Turkey is a superpremium complete and balanced dry food formulated for adult cats from one year of age and older.
It is designed for sterilized cats and has a low-fat content of 10.50%, which helps prevent weight gain.
The primary protein sources are dehydrated chicken and turkey proteins (30%), ensuring a high percentage of animal-based protein.
The formula includes fish meal, corn, rice, oils and fats, and beet pulp, providing protein, carbohydrates, and fiber.
Additional functional ingredients, such as corn gluten, brewer’s yeast, and chicken protein hydrolysate, contribute to digestibility and palatability.
Natural extracts such as blueberry, pomegranate, bioflavonoids, and rosemary offer antioxidant properties and may support immune health.
The formula contains 1,800 mg/kg of taurine, an essential amino acid for cat heart and eye health.
Pros:
- High animal protein content: 70% of total protein comes from animal sources, supporting muscle maintenance and overall health in sterilized cats.
- Low-fat content: At 10.50%, this food is suitable for weight management, reducing the risk of obesity in sterilized cats.
- Balanced mineral content: Calcium (1.00%) and phosphorus (0.9%) are within the ideal range for bone health and kidney support.
- Natural antioxidant support: Blueberry, pomegranate, and bioflavonoids provide antioxidant benefits, which may help protect cells from oxidative stress.
- Taurine enrichment: Contains 1,800 mg/kg of taurine, an essential nutrient for heart function, vision, and overall metabolism.
- Added L-carnitine: This ingredient aids fat metabolism, supporting healthy weight maintenance in sterilized cats.
Cons:
- Presence of plant-based protein: Corn gluten is included, which contributes to total protein content but has lower bioavailability compared to animal proteins.
- Use of carbohydrates: Corn and rice are present, increasing the carbohydrate content, which may not be ideal for obligate carnivores like cats.
- Limited fiber content: With only 1.40% crude fiber, the formula may not provide optimal digestive support for cats prone to hairballs or constipation.
- Sodium chloride inclusion: While necessary in small amounts, added salt may contribute to excessive sodium intake, which concerns some cats.
- Use of chicken protein hydrolysate: While improving palatability and digestibility, hydrolyzed proteins may be processed more 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.
