Summary

IAMS Senior Fresh Chicken is a dry cat food formulated to meet the nutritional needs of senior cats aged 7 years and older, with a focus on heart health, joint support, digestion, and dental care.
The first ingredient is dried chicken and turkey (37%), with chicken making up 22%, providing a high-quality, animal-based protein source that supports lean muscle maintenance in aging cats.
Fresh chicken (10%) further enhances palatability and contributes to the total 86% animal protein content, supporting tissue repair and overall vitality.
With a crude protein level of 35% and fat at 12.5%, the formula offers a balanced energy profile suitable for the lower activity levels of senior cats while helping to preserve muscle mass.
Taurine is included at 0.2%, a critical amino acid that supports cardiac function and vision, both of which are essential in aging felines.
Glucosamine from animal tissues is added to promote joint health and mobility, addressing common age-related concerns in senior cats.
A tailored fiber blend including beet pulp (1.6%) and fructooligosaccharides (0.67%) supports digestive health by promoting beneficial gut bacteria and regular bowel movements.
Omega-3 (0.27%) and omega-6 (2.67%) fatty acids contribute to skin integrity and coat condition, while also offering anti-inflammatory benefits.
The crunchy kibble texture, combined with controlled mineral levels, helps reduce tartar buildup and supports long-term dental health.
With no artificial colors, flavors, GMOs, or fillers, the formula emphasizes clean nutrition tailored to the needs of aging 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.
