Product Summary

La Mito: Chicken & Fish is a well-rounded dry cat food formulated for adult cats, featuring dehydrated chicken and anchovy meal as primary protein sources, providing 29% protein. This combination supports muscle health and promotes satiety. The recipe also includes omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which aid in maintaining a healthy coat and skin, along with taurine to support heart and eye health.

 

Pros:

  • High protein content (29%) from chicken and fish sources, ideal for muscle maintenance.
  • Rich in omega-3 (0.72%) and omega-6 (3.96%) fatty acids, which contribute to skin and coat health.
  • Taurine content (1,200 mg/kg) supports cardiovascular and visual health in cats.

 

Cons:

  • The carbohydrate content is increased due to ingredients like wheat and corn, which may not be suitable for cats with grain sensitivities.
  • With a crude ash level of 8.5%, mineral content is on the higher side, which could impact some cats.
  • Fat content of 13% may be insufficient for highly active cats needing additional energy 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.
