Product Summary

LeChat Indoor Kibbles with Fresh Chicken and Rice is a complete dry food tailored for indoor cats. It focuses on controlled nutrition to support their unique needs.

The recipe features fresh chicken (4%) as a primary protein source, providing high biological value proteins for muscle maintenance and overall health.

Prebiotics like FOS (0.05%) and MOS (0.05%) promote a healthy gut by regulating intestinal bacterial flora, while yucca schidigera (0.1%) reduces fecal odor.

Omega-3 (0.57%) and omega-6 (2.06%) fatty acids contribute to a soft and shiny coat, enhancing skin health.

Rice, processed for high digestibility, provides a reliable source of carbohydrates for energy.

Fortified with taurine (1,400 mg/kg) and vitamin A, it supports vision and overall well-being, making it an excellent option for sterilised indoor cats.

 

Pros:

  • Balanced protein content: Provides 30% crude protein from fresh chicken and animal derivatives, supporting muscle health and overall vitality.
  • Digestive health support: Enriched with FOS (0.05%) and MOS (0.05%) to promote gut flora balance and nutrient absorption.
  • Omega fatty acids: These include 0.57% omega-3 and 2.06% omega-6 fatty acids for skin health and a shiny coat.
  • Vision and health support: Taurine (1,400 mg/kg) and vitamin A help maintain vision and general well-being.
  • Fecal odor control: Yucca schidigera (0.1%) minimizes fecal odor, ideal for indoor living environments.
  • Digestible carbohydrate source: Rice (4%) provides energy while being gentle on the digestive system.

 

Cons:

  • Low fresh chicken proportion: Only 4% of the formula contains fresh chicken, which is lower than many premium indoor cat formulas.
  • Moderate fat content: At 12%, the fat level may not provide sufficient energy for highly active or underweight cats.
  • Grain inclusion: Contains cereals like rice, which may not suit cats with grain sensitivities.
  • High ash content: With 9.5% crude ash, it may not be ideal for cats requiring a lower mineral load.
  • Limited omega-3 content: Omega-3 fatty acids are present at 0.57%, which is modest compared to some premium formulations.
  • Unspecified vegetable and fish derivatives: Lacks detailed descriptions of these components, reducing transparency.

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.
