Merrick
Purrfect Bistro Grain Free Pasture-Raised Lamb and Carrots Natural High Protein Dry Cat Food
Summary
Merrick Purrfect Bistro Grain Free Pasture-Raised Lamb and Carrots Natural High Protein Dry Cat Food is a grain-free adult dry formula designed to provide protein-rich everyday nutrition for indoor or outdoor cats.
Its first ingredient is lamb, an animal protein that supports lean muscle maintenance and serves as the recipe’s main named meat source.
The guaranteed analysis of 36% crude protein and 16% crude fat positions this food for adult maintenance, with enough protein for body tissue support and enough fat to fuel normal daily activity.
The grain-free format avoids corn, wheat, and soy, so the formula omits several common cereal and soy ingredients.
Dried chicory root contributes prebiotic fiber, and carrots add another plant ingredient that can support gentle digestive regularity.
Beef fat, dried yeast, and natural flavor enhance palatability, which can help this richer kibble appeal to cats with selective tastes.
As an adult regular-maintenance recipe, it is intended for day-to-day feeding rather than a kitten-specific growth formula.
This food is best suited to healthy adult cats eating a standard daily dry diet and looking for a grain-free lamb-based recipe with 36% crude protein and 16% crude fat.

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.
