Summary

Nature’s Protection Lifestyle Grain Free with Salmon for Senior Cats is tailored for aging cats and offers balanced nutrition to support their unique needs.

The recipe centers on 39% salmon, a hypoallergenic and digestible protein source rich in omega-3 fatty acids, aiding joint, brain, and cardiovascular health.

MicroZeoGen, a natural volcanic-origin mineral, detoxifies the body and enhances nutrient absorption, promoting overall vitality.

L-carnitine and vegetable fibers assist in managing weight, reducing obesity risks common in less active senior cats.

Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids are essential for maintaining a healthy skin barrier, a glossy coat, and mitigating inflammation.

The grain-free formulation minimizes digestive issues and allergies, catering to cats with sensitive gastrointestinal systems.

Enriched with vitamins, antioxidants, and lutein from marigold, this food supports immune health, vision, and cellular protection, making it a comprehensive choice for senior cat wellness.

 

Pros:

  • Digestible protein support: High salmon content (39%) ensures optimal amino acid supply for maintaining muscle health and reducing inflammation.
  • Joint and bone care: Calcium (1%) and phosphorus (0.8%) work with omega-3 fatty acids to promote strong bones and flexible joints.
  • Immune and detox benefits: MicroZeoGen and marigold meal aid in body detoxification and bolster immune defenses.
  • Weight management: L-carnitine and fiber-rich ingredients help regulate metabolism and promote satiety, ideal for less active senior cats.
  • Hypoallergenic and grain-free: Formulated without grains, it reduces allergenic potential and supports smooth digestion.
  • Skin and coat enhancement: Omega-3 (0.60%) and omega-6 (2.44%) fatty acids maintain skin elasticity and enhance coat shine.

 

Cons:

  • Moderate fat content (11%): While energy benefits, it may require portion control in sedentary senior cats to prevent weight gain.
  • Higher ash content (9%): This may increase the mineral load, requiring monitoring in cats with existing kidney sensitivities.
  • Narrow protein profile: Reliance on salmon may not suit cats that prefer a variety of protein sources.

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.
