Adult Sensitive Salmon and Rice - New Recipe
by NutriBestSummary
NutriBest: Adult Sensitive Salmon and Rice is a high-premium dry cat food formulated for adult cats over 12 months old, particularly those with sensitive digestive systems.
The primary ingredient is dehydrated chicken meat (29%), complemented by dehydrated salmon (6%) and rice (4%).
This combination aims to provide balanced nutrition while supporting skin and coat health by including marine algae and salmon oil, which are rich in omega-3 fatty acids.
The formula is designed to maintain a healthy immune system and overall vitality in adult cats.
Pros:
- High Protein Content: Contains 30% crude protein, primarily sourced from animal ingredients like dehydrated chicken meat (29%) and dehydrated salmon (6%), providing essential amino acids for muscle maintenance.
- Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Enriched with salmon oil and marine algae, offering omega-3 fatty acids that support healthy skin and a shiny coat.
- Immune Support: Includes vitamins A and E and trace elements such as copper and selenium, essential for maintaining a strong immune system.
- Digestive Health: Contains beet pulp, a highly digestible fiber source, and prebiotic MOS (mannan-oligosaccharides) to promote beneficial gut bacteria and nutrient absorption.
Cons:
- Moderate Fat Content: It contains 11% crude oils and fats, which may be higher than necessary for less active cats and potentially lead to weight gain if not monitored.
- Presence of Common Allergens: Includes ingredients like wheat and maize, which could be problematic for cats with specific grain sensitivities or allergies.
- Lower Salmon Content: Dehydrated salmon constitutes only 6% of the formula, which may be less than expected for a product highlighting salmon as a key ingredient.
- Use of Animal Fats: This product contains unspecified animal fat, which may be a concern for cat owners seeking more transparency regarding ingredient 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.
