Purrfect Bistro Dry Cat Food Grain Free-Salmon and Sweet Potato
Summary
Merrick Purrfect Bistro Dry Cat Food Grain Free-Salmon and Sweet Potato is a grain-free adult formula designed to provide balanced daily nutrition for indoor and outdoor cats.
Real salmon is the first ingredient, giving the recipe an animal-based starting point and making fish the leading named ingredient in the bowl.
Chicken meal follows salmon and supplies concentrated animal protein, helping increase protein density because meal contains far less moisture than fresh meat or fish.
With 36% crude protein and 16% crude fat, the formula is positioned as a protein-rich maintenance diet that can support lean muscle and everyday energy needs in healthy adult cats.
Its metabolizable energy of 3,822 kcal/kg means portion control still matters for less active cats, especially when fed free-choice.
Sweet potatoes are paired with pea starch, cassava root flour, and potato protein, ingredients that help form the kibble and contribute non-grain carbohydrate and plant matter alongside the animal components.
Dried egg product adds another highly digestible animal ingredient, broadening the amino acid supply in the formula.
Overall, this recipe suits healthy adult cats whose owners want a grain-free kibble built around salmon with added chicken meal and sweet potato, and it is made without corn, wheat, or soy.

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.
