Nutram
Ideal Solution Support - I17 Indoor - Chicken Meal and Whole Eggs Recipe
Summary
Nutram Ideal Solution Support I17 Indoor is a dry cat food designed to support the needs of indoor cats by promoting healthy digestion, hairball control, and overall wellness.
Chicken meal and deboned chicken serve as the primary protein sources, providing essential amino acids for muscle maintenance, while whole eggs enhance the protein profile with high biological value.
A blend of peas, oatmeal, brown rice, and pearled barley offers digestible carbohydrates for sustained energy while maintaining a lower fat content suitable for the indoor lifestyle.
Pumpkin, pea fiber, powdered cellulose, and psyllium seed husk contribute to gut motility and aid in naturally eliminating hairballs.
Flaxseed and salmon oil provide omega-3 fatty acids and a healthy, shiny coat for skin hydration.
Nutram’s Optimum Combinations include cranberries and chicory root extract, which promote digestive balance and a healthy gut microbiome.
Additional functional ingredients such as turmeric, chamomile, peppermint, and ginger offer natural anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits.
With a moderate protein level of 28% and a controlled fat content of 15%, this formula is balanced for indoor cats with lower activity levels.
Pros:
Supports hairball control: Pumpkin, pea fiber, powdered cellulose, and psyllium seed husk aid in digestive motility and hairball elimination.
Balanced fat content: A controlled 15% fat level helps maintain a healthy weight for less active indoor cats.
Skin and coat health: Salmon oil and flaxseed provide omega-3 fatty acids for skin hydration and coat shine.
Promotes gut health: Cranberries, chicory root extract, and natural fiber sources support digestion and a balanced gut microbiome.
Rich in natural antioxidants: Chamomile, turmeric, ginger, and rosemary provide anti-inflammatory and immune-supporting benefits.
Cons:
Moderate protein level: At 28%, the protein content may be lower than some high-protein indoor cat formulas.
Contains grains: Oatmeal, brown rice, and pearled barley may not suit cats requiring a grain-free diet.
Higher fiber content: At 6%, the fiber level may be too high for some cats, potentially affecting stool consistency.
Moderate omega-3 content: While present, omega-3 fatty acids (0.50%) are lower than in some fish-based formulas.

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.
