Summary
Merrick Purrfect Bistro Grain Free Wild-Caught Ocean Whitefish and Spinach Natural High Protein Dry Cat Food is a grain-free adult dry food for indoor or outdoor cats that focuses on fish-led protein and balanced daily nutrition.
The first ingredient is ocean whitefish, a fish-based animal ingredient that helps supply the animal protein cats need to support lean muscle.
With 38% crude protein and 16% crude fat, the formula offers a high-protein, energy-supporting profile for many healthy adult cats.
Dried chicory root adds prebiotic fiber that can help nourish beneficial gut bacteria, which fits the product’s positioning as an easy-to-digest recipe for sensitive stomachs.
Omega-6 at 1.2%, omega-3 at 0.2%, and linoleic acid at 1.1% support skin barrier function and coat condition for everyday skin and fur maintenance.
Calcium at 1% and phosphorus at 0.8% contribute to bone and tooth support, while zinc, selenium, vitamin A, and vitamin E add antioxidant and immune-related nutrition.
Added vitamins and minerals help cover essential micronutrients involved in metabolism, vision, and everyday cellular function.
This formula is best suited to healthy adult cats whose owners want a fish-forward, grain-free kibble with digestive, skin, coat, and immune support in one food.

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.
