Product Summary

Lenda Senior & Sterilized is a complete dry food formulated for seniors and sterilized cats. It focuses on weight management, joint care, and overall vitality.

The recipe includes 47% poultry, 25% dehydrated chicken, 12% hydrolyzed poultry liver, and 10% fresh deboned chicken, ensuring a highly digestible and bioavailable protein source to maintain lean muscle mass.

With a controlled fat content of 12% and a moderate calorie density of 3,710 kcal/kg, this formula helps prevent obesity, which is common in sterilized and less active cats.

Joint care is supported through glucosamine, chondroitin, and MSM, which reduce inflammation and promote mobility, essential for aging cats.

Marine zooplankton meal (krill) provides omega-3 fatty acids (DHA and EPA) and astaxanthin, which improve cognitive function, coat quality, and systemic inflammation.

The FAEC Immune complex includes ginseng, turmeric, pomegranate, and green tea, which offer antioxidants, immune system support, and anti-inflammatory benefits.

Probiotics such as Lactobacillus acidophilus and Enterococcus faecium, found in the FAEC ProbioDigestive blend, enhance digestive health by improving gut flora balance.

Fresh fruits and vegetables, such as pumpkin, carrot, and apple, contain natural vitamins, antioxidants, and fiber, which support overall well-being.

 

Pros:

  • High-Quality Protein: Contains 47% poultry, including dehydrated chicken, hydrolyzed liver, and fresh chicken, delivering 34% crude protein to support muscle maintenance in senior cats.
  • Joint Health Support: Glucosamine, chondroitin, and MSM work together to reduce inflammation, improve joint mobility, and support the needs of aging or less active cats.
  • Omega-3 for Cognitive and Coat Health: Marine zooplankton meal (krill) provides DHA and EPA, which improve brain function, coat shine, and reduce inflammation.
  • Immune System Support: The FAEC Inmune complex, with ingredients like turmeric, ginseng, and pomegranate, strengthens immunity with natural antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties.
  • Digestive Benefits: The FAEC ProbioDigestive complex, with probiotics like Lactobacillus acidophilus, promotes gut health, aids digestion, and supports nutrient absorption.
  • Weight Control: With 12% fat and a moderate calorie density of 3,710 kcal/kg, the formula helps manage weight in sterilized or less active cats without compromising on energy.

 

Cons:

  • Controlled Fat Content: While beneficial for weight management, the 12% fat content may not provide enough energy for highly active senior cats.
  • Carbohydrate Inclusion: Potato and lentils add carbohydrates, which may not align with obligate carnivores’ natural low-carb dietary needs.
  • High Ash Content: With 7.5% ash, this formula may not suit cats prone to urinary or kidney sensitivities.
  • Unspecified Omega-3 Levels: Despite including krill for DHA and EPA, the exact omega-3 content is not listed, which limits the evaluation of its full nutritional impact.
  • Moderate Protein Percentage: Although it uses high-quality poultry, the 34% crude protein content may be lower than some senior-focused formulas with higher protein targets.

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.
