Summary

LaCat Ocean Fish is a complete dry food for adult cats. Its primary protein sources are salmon and poultry.

The formula includes 30% crude protein from dehydrated poultry (21%) and salmon (4% derived from dehydrated salmon), supporting muscle maintenance and overall health.

With 13% crude fats, it provides a balanced energy source, aiding cell formation and essential metabolic functions.

Fortified with 1,500 mg of taurine, it supports cardiovascular health, vision, and overall vitality.

The wheat-free recipe makes it suitable for cats with sensitivities to certain grains.

Yucca is included to reduce stool odor and promote digestive health.

 

Pros:

  • High protein content: Contains 30% crude protein, primarily from dehydrated poultry (21%) and salmon, supporting muscle growth and overall health.
  • Balanced energy source: Includes 13% crude fats, providing steady energy for adult cats.
  • Wheat-free: Excludes wheat, making it suitable for cats with grain-related sensitivities.
  • Taurine fortified: Enriched with 1,500 mg of taurine, essential for heart and eye health.
  • Digestive health support: Includes yucca to minimize stool odor and promote a healthier digestive system.
  • Fish protein inclusion: Features salmon, which adds variety to the protein sources for balanced nutrition.

 

Cons:

  • Low salmon content: Salmon is only 4% (from dehydrated sources), contributing less than expected to the protein profile.
  • High grain inclusion: Ingredients such as maize, barley, and maize bran increase carbohydrate levels, which are less ideal for obligate carnivores.
  • Unspecified antioxidants: Contains “antioxidants” without details on their source 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 content: Contains 3% crude fiber, which may not fully support optimal digestive health in some cats.
  • Lower fresh meat proportion: Relies on dehydrated poultry and salmon rather than fresh or minimally processed meat sources.

Notes

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.
