by LaVitalSummary
LaVital Hairball Adult Lamb Formula is a specialized dry cat food designed for adult cats prone to hairball issues. This formula features 33% crude protein, primarily sourced from processed animal proteins, including 10% lamb, which supports muscle maintenance and overall health. Including vegetable fibers and dried beet pulp aids in reducing hairball formation by promoting healthy digestion. Additionally, it contains essential vitamins such as Vitamin A (31,000 IU) and Vitamin E (300 mg/kg) to support immune health and skin conditions.
Pros:
- High Protein Content: The formula contains 33% crude protein, essential for maintaining muscle mass in adult cats, particularly from high-quality animal sources like lamb.
- Digestive Support: Vegetable fibers and dried beet pulp contribute to digestive health, which helps minimize hairball formation.
- Rich in Vitamins: The food is fortified with essential vitamins, including Vitamin A (31,000 IU) and Vitamin E (300 mg/kg), supporting overall health and skin condition.
Cons:
- Moderate Fat Content: With only 13% crude fat, the formula might be lower in energy, which may not be sufficient for more active cats.
- High Ash Content: The product contains 8% crude ash, which could lead to higher mineral content, potentially increasing the risk of urinary issues in some cats.
- Inclusion of Corn and Wheat: Corn and wheat are included as main ingredients, which might not be ideal for cats with sensitivities or those on grain-free diets.

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.
