Summary

IAMS™ PROACTIVE HEALTH™ Healthy Adult with Chicken is a nutritionally complete dry cat food designed to support the health and vitality of adult cats.

The formula features real chicken as the first ingredient, offering a high-quality protein source crucial for muscle maintenance.

A tailored blend of fibers, including prebiotics and beet pulp, promotes healthy digestion and nutrient absorption.

The crunchy kibble texture aids in reducing plaque buildup, supporting dental health. With added omega fatty acids, it also helps maintain a healthy coat and skin.

This product is suitable for both indoor and outdoor adult cats with moderate activity levels.

 

Pros:

  1. High-Quality Protein Source: Real chicken as the first ingredient provides a high level of quality protein essential for muscle development and maintenance.
  2. Digestive Support: Prebiotics and beet pulp in the formula promote a healthy digestive system and enhance nutrient absorption.
  3. Dental Health Benefits: The crunchy kibble texture helps reduce plaque buildup and supports oral hygiene in cats.
  4. Skin and Coat Health: Contains omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids, contributing to a shiny coat and healthy skin.
  5. Complete and Balanced Nutrition: Includes essential vitamins and minerals to meet the dietary needs of adult cats for optimal health.

 

Cons:

  1. Limited Ingredient Transparency: The specific percentages of certain ingredients, such as chicken, are not disclosed, making it challenging to fully assess the protein contribution.
  2. Potential Allergens: While not inherently harmful, ingredients like beet pulp and grains (if present) may not be suitable for cats with sensitivities or allergies, depending on individual dietary needs.
  3. Carbohydrate Levels: The product might include higher levels of carbohydrates due to unspecified grain content, which can be less ideal for obligate carnivores like cats.

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.
