Summary

Italian Way Sterilised Salmon and Herring is a gluten-free dry food explicitly designed for the nutritional needs of sterilised cats.

The recipe features 30% fish, including dehydrated herring meal, fresh salmon, and dehydrated salmon meal, providing high-quality protein.

The inclusion of methionine supports protein metabolism without overburdening renal function, making it suitable for sterilised cats.

With a reduced carbohydrate content and a focus on healthy fats, it helps maintain an ideal body weight.

Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids from fish and olive oil promote healthy skin, a shiny coat, and overall well-being.

Natural antioxidants such as dried tomatoes and rosemary oil support the immune system and promote digestive health.

 

Pros:

  • Targeted for sterilised cats: Designed to manage the specific dietary and metabolic needs of sterilised cats.
  • High-quality fish protein: Features 30% fish, including fresh salmon and dehydrated herring meal, for lean muscle maintenance.
  • Skin and coat health: Omega-3 (0.6%) and omega-6 (3.7%) fatty acids enhance skin condition and coat shine.
  • Weight management: Gluten-free and reduced carbohydrate formula supports weight control in sterilised cats.
  • Antioxidant benefits: Natural ingredients like rosemary oil and dried tomatoes strengthen immunity and support digestion.

 

Cons:

  • Moderate ash content: At 7.5%, it may not be ideal for cats prone to urinary sensitivities.
  • Soy inclusion: Contains soy ingredients, which may not suit all cats with sensitivities.
  • Lower fresh fish content: Only 6% of the fish component is fresh salmon, with the remainder being dehydrated or hydrolysed.

Notes

The score is calculated after relocating fresh meat or fish ingredient(s), as explained in Rule 7: Quality and Location Impact of Meat Ingredients
Information about antioxidants and preservatives is missing or insufficient. Since I didn’t want to remove points due to this missing info without any proof, I evaluated this food assuming the natural preservatives were used. But note that this is just an assumption.

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.
