by NutriBestSummary
NutriBest Adult Sterilized Salmon and Rice is a high-premium dry cat food formulated for sterilized adult cats over 12 months old.
The primary ingredient is dehydrated chicken meat (25%), complemented by dehydrated salmon (6%) and rice (4%).
This formulation aims to support healthy skin and coat through omega-3 fatty acids from salmon oil and includes marine algae for additional skin and coat benefits.
The product is designed to maintain an optimal body weight in sterilized cats by providing a lower fat content.
It incorporates natural ingredients without added preservatives or genetically modified organisms (GMOs).
Pros:
- High-Quality Protein Sources: The inclusion of dehydrated chicken meat (25%) and dehydrated salmon (6%) provides essential amino acids necessary for growth and cellular maintenance.
- Omega-3 Fatty Acids for Skin and Coat Health: The presence of salmon oil supplies omega-3 fatty acids, which contribute to maintaining healthy skin and a shiny coat.
- Immune System Support: This formula is enriched with vitamins A and E, along with trace elements such as copper and selenium, to help support a robust immune system.
- Digestive Health: Ingredients like beet pulp and brewer’s yeast offer digestible fiber and prebiotics, promoting healthy digestion.
Cons:
- Moderate Fat Content: With a crude fat content of 9%, this product may not be suitable for cats requiring a low-fat diet.
- Inclusion of Maize and Wheat: The presence of maize and wheat may not be ideal for cats with specific grain sensitivities or allergies.
- Limited Omega-3 Content: The omega-3 fatty acid content is relatively low at 0.075%, which might be insufficient for cats needing higher levels for specific health conditions.
- Use of Animal Fat: Cat owners seeking transparency in ingredient sourcing may be concerned about the inclusion of unspecified animal fat in pet foods.

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.
