by LaCatSummary
LaCat Grill is a complete dry food for adult cats, featuring beef and poultry as primary protein sources.
The formula contains 30% crude protein from dehydrated poultry (23%) and beef (4% derived from dehydrated beef), supporting muscle maintenance and overall health.
With 13% crude fats, it offers a balanced energy source, aiding cell formation and essential body functions.
Enriched with 1,500 mg of taurine, it supports heart function, vision, and overall vitality in adult cats.
The wheat-free recipe makes it suitable for cats with sensitivities to certain grains.
Yucca is included to reduce stool odor and contribute to digestive health.
Pros:
- High protein content: Contains 30% crude protein, primarily from dehydrated poultry (23%) and beef, supporting muscle and overall health.
- Balanced energy content: Includes 13% crude fats, providing a steady energy source for adult cats.
- Wheat-free: Excludes wheat, making it suitable for cats with grain sensitivities or allergies.
- Taurine fortified: Enriched with 1,500 mg of taurine, essential for cardiovascular and eye health.
- Digestive support: Yucca helps minimize stool odor and supports better digestion.
- Rich mineral profile: Contains 8% crude ash, supporting adequate mineral levels in the diet.
Cons:
- Limited beef content: Beef content is only 4% (from dehydrated sources), which may not significantly enhance flavor or nutritional variety.
- High grain inclusion: This includes maize, barley, and maize bran, which contribute to higher carbohydrate levels and are less suited for obligate carnivores.
- Unspecified antioxidants: These include “antioxidants” without details on their type or quality.
- No details on omega-3 or omega-6 fatty acid content: The formula does not specify these important fatty acids for coat and skin health.
- Moderate fiber level: Contains 3% crude fiber, which may not fully meet digestive health needs for some cats.
- Lower fresh meat proportion: Relies on dehydrated poultry and beef rather than fresh or minimally processed 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.
