Product Summary

LeChat Classic Tris Flavour Croquettes is a complete dry food formulated for adult cats requiring monitored nutrition, featuring fish, chicken, and beef as primary protein sources.

The recipe provides 30% crude protein sourced from 8% beef, 5% chicken, and 5% fish. These proteins have elevated biological value and support muscle maintenance and overall health.

Enriched with prebiotics like FOS (0.04%) and MOS (0.04%), it supports healthy intestinal bacterial flora and improves digestion.

Vitamins A, D3, and E contribute to meeting daily nutritional needs, supporting immune health and overall well-being.

Its balanced formula is designed to meet the nutritional requirements of adult cats and ensures palatability through its three-flavor blend.

 

Pros:

  • Balanced protein content: Provides 30% crude protein from beef, chicken, and fish, supporting muscle health and overall vitality.
  • Digestive health: Enriched with prebiotics FOS (0.04%) and MOS (0.04%) to promote gut health and nutrient absorption.
  • Vitamin-rich formula: Fortified with vitamins A, D3, and E to support immune function and overall well-being.
  • Palatable multi-flavor mix: The inclusion of beef, chicken, and fish ensures a highly appealing flavor profile for picky eaters.
  • Daily nutrition support: Includes taurine (1,200 mg) to maintain vision and heart health.

 

Cons:

  • Moderate fresh meat inclusion: Fresh chicken and beef inclusion is relatively low, limiting protein diversity.
  • High ash content: 9% crude ash may not suit cats requiring a lower mineral load.
  • Grain inclusion: Contains cereals, which may not be ideal for cats with grain sensitivities or allergies.
  • Moderate fat content: 12% may not provide sufficient energy for highly active or underweight cats.
  • Limited omega fatty acids: The formula does not specify omega-3 or omega-6 fatty acid content, potentially limiting coat and skin benefits.
  • Use of colorants: Includes colorants as sensory additives, which may not align with preferences for natural formulations.

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.

Ingredients in this food are listed as categories rather than specific named products. This EU permitted method doesn’t allow me a proper evaluation of the food since I usually don’t have any indication of the real quality of ingredients in each listed category. Therefore I evaluate each such category as the corresponding ingredient of the worst quality: cereals = corn, meat and meat derivatives = partial by-product + unknown source of the meat, oils and fats = unknown source of the fat.

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.
