Leader’s Choice
Adult Fish
Summary
Leader’s Choice Adult Fish is a dry cat food formulated for adult cats living both indoors and outdoors, offering a protein-rich diet with a blend of animal and plant-based ingredients.
The first listed ingredient is chicken meal, a concentrated source of animal protein that supports the maintenance of lean muscle and overall vitality in adult cats.
Fish meal and fish hydrolysate contribute additional animal protein and provide natural sources of omega-3 fatty acids, which support skin health and a shiny coat, although specific omega-3 levels are not disclosed.
With a crude protein content of 34% and fat at 16%, the formula delivers a high-energy profile suitable for active adult cats, helping to sustain energy levels and muscle tone.
Carbohydrates make up 31.2% of the formula, primarily derived from corn, rice, and wheat middlings, providing digestible energy while also increasing the glycemic load.
Chicken fat serves as a palatable and energy-dense source of fat, while also contributing to skin and coat health through its linoleic acid content.
Beet pulp provides fermentable fiber that supports digestive health and stool quality by promoting beneficial gut bacteria.
Essential vitamins and trace minerals, including zinc (100 mg/kg) and selenium (0.2 mg/kg), support immune function, skin integrity, and antioxidant defense.
Taurine is included to support heart health and vision, which are critical for adult cats, though the exact amount is not specified.
Hydrolyzed proteins and natural flavoring enhance palatability, making the food more appealing to picky eaters.

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.
