Summary

Nutrience Grain Free: Ocean Fish is a grain-free, gluten-free dry cat food designed for cats of all life stages, particularly those sensitive to land-based proteins, eggs, and poultry.
The formula features a variety of fish-based proteins, including salmon, herring, hake, sole, cod, flounder, and ocean whitefish meal.
These proteins provide a rich amino acid profile for overall health and muscle maintenance.
Low-glycemic carbohydrates, such as lentils and sweet potatoes, replace grains to support stable blood sugar levels and reduce the risk of obesity.
Enriched with coconut oil, psyllium fiber, and pineapple extract, it aids in hairball management and promotes digestive health.
With a crude protein content of 38% and fat content of 18%, it offers balanced energy and optimal nutrition for active cats.

Psyllium fiber, pineapple extract, and probiotics (225 million CFU/lb) promote healthy digestion and reduce hairball formation.
4

Joint and Coat Health

Glucosamine (800 mg/kg), chondroitin sulfate (400 mg/kg), and omega-3 fatty acids (1.5%) support joint function, skin health, and a shiny coat.

Cons
Expand All
1

Ash Content

At 7.5%, the ash level may not suit cats prone to urinary issues.
2

Moderate Protein for Fish Formula

Although 38% protein is substantial, some owners may expect higher levels for a fish-focused formula.
3

Extensive Ingredient List

The long list of ingredients may not appeal to owners preferring simpler, more straightforward recipes.
4

Taurine Level

While 0.15% taurine meets AAFCO standards, some formulas offer higher concentrations for additional heart and vision support.

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.
