Leader’s Choice
Senior Chicken
Summary
Leader’s Choice Senior Chicken is a dry cat food formulated specifically for senior cats, offering a balanced nutritional profile to support aging felines with moderate energy needs.
The first ingredient, chicken meal, provides a concentrated source of animal protein that supports muscle maintenance and overall vitality in older cats.
With 31% crude protein and 11% fat, the formula delivers a moderate energy density suitable for senior cats who may be less active but still require high-quality protein for lean body mass preservation.
Chicken fat serves as a palatable and energy-rich source of fat, supplying essential fatty acids that support the health of the skin and coat.
Hydrolyzed protein is included to enhance digestibility and reduce the risk of adverse food reactions, which can be more common in aging cats.
Carbohydrate sources such as corn, rice, and corn gluten feed contribute to the 39.2% carbohydrate content, providing readily available energy but also increasing the glycemic load.
Beet pulp and lignocellulose offer functional fiber that supports digestive health and stool quality, which is important for older cats with slower gastrointestinal transit.
Essential minerals, such as calcium (1.4%) and phosphorus (0.7%), are present in a ratio that supports bone health while helping to manage the kidney workload in senior cats.
Added taurine supports cardiac and visual function, while antioxidants such as beta glucans and organic acids help protect against age-related oxidative stress.
Vitamins, including A, D, E, and the B-complex, are included to support immune function, metabolism, and overall well-being in aging cats.

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.
