Summary
Meow Mix Hairball Control is a dry complete food formulated to help manage and reduce hairball formation in adult cats.
Chicken by-product meal is the primary animal protein source, with turkey by-product meal, salmon meal, and fish meal providing additional flavor and amino acid variety.
The formula delivers 31% crude protein and 11% fat to support muscle maintenance and provide energy for adult cats.
It features a high fiber content – 7% crude fiber and 10% total dietary fiber – and uses soybean hulls, powdered cellulose, and brewer’s dried yeast to promote hair passage through the digestive tract.
Carbohydrate sources include whole ground corn, corn gluten meal, brewers rice, and soybean meal, making the formula grain-inclusive.
Artificial colors like Red 40, Yellow 5, and Blue 2 are used to enhance visual appeal, along with animal digest to increase palatability.
Taurine is added to support cardiovascular and vision health, while essential vitamins and minerals ensure basic nutritional completeness.
The formula is suitable for adult maintenance but not designed for kittens or cats with higher protein needs.

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.
