Summary

NECON’s Natural Wellness Adult Pork and Rice is a super premium low-grain dry cat food formulated for adult cats of all breeds.

Dried pork protein constitutes 40% of the composition, ensuring high palatability and a high biological value of protein.

The formula is enriched with antioxidant plant extracts and Ascophyllum nodosum algae to help control plaque and halitosis.

Pros:

  • High protein content: Contains 32% crude protein, supporting muscle maintenance and overall health.
  • Single animal protein source: This formula utilizes pork as the sole protein source, which may benefit cats with sensitivities to other proteins.
  • Inclusion of Ascophyllum nodosum: This algae is known for reducing plaque and bad breath and promoting oral health.
  • Enriched with essential vitamins and minerals: Provides a comprehensive blend of vitamins A, D3, E, B-complex, and minerals like zinc, iron, and copper, supporting various bodily functions.
  • Low-grain formulation: This formulation contains 6% rice and whole corn grain, which may be easier to digest for some cats than high-grain diets.

 

Cons:

  • High-fat content: Contains 21% crude fat, which may not be suitable for overweight or less active cats.
  • Presence of corn: Includes whole corn grain and corn flour, which are common allergens for some cats and may not be ideal for those with grain sensitivities.
  • Moderate fiber content: With 2% crude fiber, it may not provide sufficient fiber for cats requiring higher fiber intake for digestive health.
  • Use of animal fat: The unspecified source of animal fat may concern pet owners seeking transparency in ingredient sourcing.
  • Inclusion of hydrolyzed animal protein: While it can aid in digestibility, some owners may prefer whole protein sources over hydrolyzed ones.

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.
