Summary

Nulo MedalSeries Baked & Coated Adult Chicken, Turkey & Whitefish Recipe is designed for adult cats with active lifestyles, combining deboned chicken as its first ingredient to deliver high-quality animal protein that supports lean muscle maintenance.
The oven-baked morsels offer a firmer texture that helps reduce plaque buildup.
At the same time, the savory dried bone broth coating enhances palatability and encourages even the pickiest eaters to enjoy each meal.
A 38% crude protein formulation, bolstered by chicken meal and turkey meal, delivers essential amino acids for tissue repair and metabolic health.
Balanced fats, comprising 15% of the formula from chicken fat, salmon oil, coconut oil, and flaxseed, enrich the formula with Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids to nourish the skin and promote a glossy coat.
At 5% crude fiber, a blend of ground miscanthus grass and pumpkin, complemented by probiotics, supports healthy digestion and helps maintain intestinal flora balance for improved nutrient absorption.
With 1.1% calcium and 0.9% phosphorus, this recipe supports strong bone and dental health, while taurine supplementation ensures proper cardiac and visual function.
Antioxidants such as Vitamin E and Vitamin C contribute to cellular protection and immune system resilience.
Complex carbohydrates derived from sweet potatoes and lentils supply steady energy release and help sustain activity levels in indoor and outdoor cats alike.
Additional functional ingredients like dried cranberries provide polyphenols for urinary tract support and DL-methionine helps maintain urinary pH balance.

Cons
Expand All
1

Moderate Carbohydrate Level

At 25% carbohydrates from sweet potatoes and lentils, the formula may be higher in carbs than optimal for obligate carnivores.
2

Limited Fermentable Fiber

Miscanthus grass provides bulk fiber but offers fewer prebiotic benefits compared to more fermentable sources.
3

Crude Fiber Content

A 5% fiber level may be insufficient for effective hairball control in long-haired breeds.
4

High Energy Density

With 3573 kcal/kg, precise portion control is required to prevent unintended weight gain.
5

Plant-Based Proteins

Ingredients like lentils offer protein variety but have lower amino acid bioavailability compared to pure animal proteins.

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.
