It provides 32% crude protein and 16% oil content, offering a robust macronutrient profile to maintain muscle mass and energy levels in adult cats.
Rice (30%), peas, and potatoes are carbohydrate sources, delivering digestible energy and fiber.
Functional ingredients include turmeric, seaweed, pomegranate, and pumpkin, offering antioxidant and anti-inflammatory support.
Psyllium, prebiotic mannan-oligosaccharides, and yucca extract are included to promote digestive health and reduce stool odor.

Omega-6 (3.70%) and omega-3 (0.75%) fatty acids help maintain healthy skin and a glossy coat.
Pros:
High animal protein content: Combines 40% processed animal protein with 10% fresh chicken for a strong base of digestible protein.
Functional additives: Contains turmeric, pomegranate, seaweed, and pumpkin for natural antioxidant and gut-supportive benefits.
Digestive health: Includes psyllium, MOS, and brewer’s yeast to support intestinal health and stool quality.
Balanced fatty acids: Omega-6 at 3.70% and omega-3 at 0.75% promote coat condition and inflammatory regulation.
Adequate taurine: At 1500 mg/kg, taurine levels support cardiac health and feline visual acuity.
Micronutrient-rich: Fortified with vitamins A (18,000 IU/kg), D (1,500 IU/kg), C and E (200 mg/kg each) to support immunity and metabolism.
Cons:
Grain-inclusive formula: Contains 30% rice, which may be unsuitable for cats with grain sensitivities.
No specification of DHA/EPA: Omega-3 is listed at 0.75%, but no detail is provided on DHA or EPA concentrations.
Ambiguous animal protein source: “Processed animal protein” lacks clarity on specific origin and quality.
No organ meats listed: Though liver is hydrolyzed, the absence of other organ meats may reduce the profile of natural micronutrients.
Non-chelated minerals: Mineral sources are not specified as chelated, potentially limiting bioavailability.
No declared probiotics: Though inactivated yeast is included, no live probiotic strains are listed to support gut flora directly.

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.
