Product Summary

Monge Natural Superpremium Sterilised Rich in Chicken is a complete dry food for adult cats, formulated to support the needs of sterilised cats with chicken as the primary ingredient.

The recipe includes 35% crude protein sourced from 26% dehydrated chicken and 10% fresh chicken, providing digestible and high-quality nutrition.

With a low-fat content of 10% and 5% crude fiber, it is designed to help maintain an ideal body weight and reduce the caloric density of the diet.

Enriched with prebiotics like XOS (0.3%) and MOS (1%), it promotes intestinal wellness and supports digestion.

Salmon oil (2%) is included as a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids for a soft and shiny coat.

This formula emphasizes a natural approach to feline health and is free from artificial dyes and preservatives.

 

Pros:

  • High protein content: It provides 35% crude protein, primarily from chicken, which supports muscle maintenance and overall vitality.
  • Weight management: It is low in fat (10%) and high in fiber (5%), helping sterilised cats maintain a healthy weight.
  • Rich in omega fatty acids: Includes 0.4% omega-3 and 3.6% omega-6 fatty acids, promoting healthy skin and a shiny coat.
  • Digestive support: Enriched with XOS (0.3%) and MOS (1%) prebiotics to enhance gut health and nutrient absorption.
  • Natural antioxidants: Contains rose hip for antioxidant benefits and yucca schidigera to reduce stool odor.
  • No artificial additives: Free from artificial dyes and preservatives, ensuring a safe and natural diet.

 

Cons:

  • Presence of wheat and corn: Includes grains that may contribute to a higher carbohydrate content, which is less ideal for obligate carnivores.
  • Moderate fresh chicken proportion: Fresh chicken constitutes 10%, lower than some premium formulations.
  • Unspecified antioxidants: Contains antioxidants without detailed information on their origin or quality.
  • Lower omega-3 content: While omega-3 fatty acids are included (0.4%), the level is modest compared to omega-6, which could affect the balance for optimal coat health.
  • Calcium to phosphorus ratio: The calcium (1.2%) to phosphorus (1%) ratio may not suit all cats, particularly those with specific dietary requirements.
  • Limited fish content: While dried salmon and salmon oil are included, they are secondary to chicken in the protein profile.

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.
