Summary

Monello Special Premium Adult Cat Hairball Control Chicken & Fish is designed to meet the nutritional needs of adult cats while addressing hairball concerns.

Its primary ingredient, poultry viscera meal, provides high-quality animal protein to support muscle maintenance.

Salmon meal adds additional protein and contributes Omega-3 fatty acids for anti-inflammatory benefits.

The formula includes 12% crude fat, which provides energy while maintaining a balanced caloric intake.

Dietary fibers help reduce hairball formation, improving digestive efficiency in long-haired and indoor cats.

Enriched with vitamins, taurine, and Omega-6 fatty acids, it supports heart, eye, skin, and coat health.


Pros:

  • Hairball Management: Contains a tailored blend of fibers to reduce hairball formation, which is particularly beneficial for long-haired cats.
  • Digestive Health: Includes prebiotics to enhance gut health, supporting efficient digestion and nutrient absorption.
  • Balanced Energy: The 12% crude fat content provides energy while avoiding unnecessary weight gain in adult cats.
  • Enhanced Palatability: Uses high-quality animal ingredients like salmon meal, which improves taste appeal for picky eaters.
  • Skin and Coat Support: Offers 2% Omega-6 fatty acids and 0.3% Omega-3 fatty acids, contributing to a glossy coat and healthy skin.

 

Cons:

  • Carbohydrate Composition: Utilizes corn and broken rice as carbohydrate sources, less suitable for cats needing low-carb diets.
  • Plant-Based Proteins: Relies partially on soybean meal and corn gluten meal, which have lower digestibility than animal-based proteins.
  • By-Products as Primary Protein: Poultry viscera meal, the primary ingredient, is a by-product that may not match the quality of whole meats.
  • Low Omega-3 Content: Contains only 0.3% Omega-3 fatty acids, which could limit its anti-inflammatory and brain health benefits.
  • Fiber-Rich Formula: While beneficial for hairball control, high fiber content might not suit cats prone to softer stools or digestive sensitivity.

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.
