Summary

NECON’s Natural Wellness – Kitten Pork and Rice is a superpremium low-grain dry cat food tailored for kittens up to 6 months of age.

The primary ingredient, dried pork protein (43%), provides a high-quality, digestible protein source to support healthy growth.

This formula features antioxidant plant extracts to combat oxidative stress and Ascophyllum nodosum algae to help reduce plaque buildup and bad breath, promoting dental health.

 

Pros:

  • High Protein Content: Contains 35% crude protein, essential for supporting rapid growth and development in kittens.
  • Single Animal Protein Source: Pork is the sole animal protein, suitable for kittens with sensitivities to other protein sources.
  • Antioxidant Enrichment: Includes plant extracts to protect against oxidative stress and support overall health.
  • Dental Health Support: Features Ascophyllum nodosum algae, which helps reduce plaque and halitosis.
  • Essential Vitamins and Minerals: Enriched with vital nutrients, including vitamins A, D3, E, B-complex, and minerals like zinc and iron, to ensure balanced nutrition.

 

Cons:

  • Moderate Fat Content: With 21% crude fat, careful portion control is necessary to prevent excessive weight gain in some kittens.
  • Inclusion of Corn and Rice: This product contains whole corn grain and rice, which may not align with preferences for grain-free diets or those avoiding potential allergens.
  • Crude Ash Level: A crude ash content of 8.10% is relatively high and may impact mineral balance.
  • Limited Fiber Content: Provides 2% crude fiber, which may be insufficient for optimal digestive health in certain kittens.
  • Use of Animal Fat: The source of animal fat is unspecified, potentially raising concerns for pet owners seeking full transparency in ingredients.

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.
