Product Summary

Monge BWild Low Grain Adult Cat Anchovies is a complete and balanced dry food formulated for adult cats, featuring anchovies as the primary protein source.

The formula provides 34% crude protein, primarily from 38% dried anchovies and 12% fresh chicken, offering high-quality nutrition that supports cats’ natural dietary instincts.

The recipe includes tapioca, rice (5%), and oats (5%) as alternative carbohydrates. It has a low grain content and no potatoes.

Enriched with omega-3 fatty acids (0.95%) from linseed and anchovies, it promotes a soft, shiny coat. Prebiotics like XOS (0.3%) and MOS support intestinal health and digestion.

Natural additives, including dried fruits, vegetables, and yucca schidigera, contribute to antioxidant benefits and digestive wellness.

This formula emphasizes natural and wholesome nutrition and is free from artificial dyes and preservatives.

 

Pros:

  • High protein content: It provides 34% crude protein, primarily from anchovies, which supports muscle maintenance and overall vitality.
  • Low-grain formulation: This formulation includes minimal grains like rice (5%) and oats (5%), with no potatoes, making it suitable for grain-sensitive cats.
  • Rich in omega fatty acids: It contains 0.95% omega-3 and 3.0% omega-6 fatty acids for healthy skin and a shiny coat.
  • Digestive health support: Enriched with XOS (0.3%) and MOS prebiotics to enhance gut flora and nutrient absorption.
  • Natural additives: Features dried fruits, vegetables, and linseed for antioxidant benefits and immune support.
  • No artificial additives: Free from artificial dyes and preservatives, ensuring a safe and natural diet.

 

Cons:

  • Moderate fresh meat content: Fresh chicken constitutes 12%, while anchovies are only in dried form, which may reduce palatability compared to fresh meat.
  • Chicken oil inclusion: Chicken oil is derived from animal fat, which may not fully align with a single-protein preference for anchovies.
  • Higher ash content: Contains 7% crude ash, which may be excessive for cats with specific dietary needs.
  • Limited fiber content: With 2.5% crude fiber, it might not fully support optimal digestion in some cats.
  • Carbohydrate inclusion: Tapioca and grains may contribute to a higher carbohydrate profile, less ideal for obligate carnivores.
  • Unspecified antioxidant sources: These include antioxidants without detailed information on their type or origin.

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.
