Dry Food Indoor Adult Fresh Chicken
Summary
IAMS Indoor Adult Fresh Chicken is a dry cat food specifically formulated to meet the unique needs of indoor adult cats, focusing on weight control, hairball reduction, and litter odor management.
The first ingredient is dried chicken and turkey (with chicken at 23%), providing a high-quality, animal-based protein source that supports lean muscle maintenance and overall vitality in less active indoor cats.
With a crude protein content of 36.5% and 88% of that protein derived from animal sources, the formula delivers biologically appropriate nutrition that aligns with a cat’s natural carnivorous needs.
Fresh chicken (10%) enhances palatability and contributes to overall protein quality, while pork fat and fish oil provide essential fatty acids for skin and coat health.
The inclusion of powdered cellulose and beet pulp (each at 4.3%) provides insoluble and fermentable fibers that help reduce hairball formation and support healthy digestion.
Yucca extract (0.025%) is added to help minimize litter box odor by reducing ammonia production in the gut.
With 14% less fat than IAMS standard adult formula, this diet supports a lean body condition, which is especially important for indoor cats with lower activity levels.
Omega-6 (2.5%) and omega-3 (0.29%) fatty acids contribute to a healthy skin barrier and shiny coat, while taurine (0.2%) supports heart and eye health.
Fructooligosaccharides (0.68%) act as prebiotics, promoting beneficial gut bacteria and enhancing digestive efficiency.
The formula is wheat-free and contains no fillers, artificial colors, flavors, or GMOs, making it a cleaner option for cats with certain dietary sensitivities.

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.
