Summary

Nutrience SubZero Canadian Pacific High Protein Cat Food is a premium dry formula designed for cats of all life stages, featuring a high-protein blend of wild-caught fish sourced from the Canadian Pacific coast.
The first ingredient, fresh salmon, provides a rich source of high-quality animal protein and omega-3 fatty acids, supporting lean muscle development and promoting skin and coat health.
With a guaranteed analysis of 38% crude protein and 16% fat, this formula delivers a nutrient-dense profile ideal for active cats or those requiring higher protein intake.
The inclusion of freeze-dried raw Nutriboost cubes—made from raw salmon, green-lipped mussels, pumpkin, cod liver, and kelp—adds minimally processed nutrients that support joint health, digestion, and immune function.
Prebiotics (inulin) and a blend of probiotics (L. acidophilus, L. casei, E. faecium, B. bifidum) help maintain a balanced gut microbiome, enhancing nutrient absorption and digestive regularity.
Essential fatty acids, including 0.5% omega-3 and 2.5% omega-6, contribute to a healthy skin barrier and a glossy coat, while also supporting anti-inflammatory processes.
Taurine at 0.15% is included to support cardiac function and retinal health, which are critical for feline well-being.
Fruits and vegetables such as blueberries, cranberries, carrots, and apples provide natural antioxidants that help protect cells from oxidative stress.
The formula is free from common allergens like chicken, wheat, soy, corn, dairy, and eggs, making it suitable for cats with specific dietary sensitivities.
Natural preservatives, such as mixed tocopherols and rosemary extract, are used instead of artificial additives, supporting a cleaner ingredient profile.

Pros
Expand All
1

High animal protein content

38% crude protein from multiple fish sources supports muscle maintenance and overall vitality.
2

Freeze-dried raw inclusions

Nutriboost cubes offer raw nutrition benefits, including joint, digestive, and immune support from ingredients like green-lipped mussels and kelp.
3

Digestive health support

Prebiotics and four strains of probiotics promote a healthy gut environment and improve nutrient absorption.
4

Balanced omega fatty acids

Omega-3 and omega-6 levels support skin hydration, coat shine, and the control of inflammation.
5

Free from common allergens

Excludes chicken, wheat, soy, corn, dairy, and eggs, reducing the risk of food sensitivities.
6

Natural antioxidant sources

Fruits and vegetables like cranberries and blueberries provide phytonutrients that support immune defense.
Cons
Expand All
1

High carbohydrate content

At 24%, the carbohydrate level is relatively elevated for a high-protein formula, which may not suit cats requiring low-carb diets.
2

Use of plant-based protein boosters

Ingredients like pea protein and lentils contribute to total protein but are less bioavailable than animal proteins.
3

Moderate fiber level

With 5% crude fiber, the formula may be too high in fiber for some cats, potentially affecting stool consistency or palatability.
4

Unspecified ash content

The absence of declared ash percentage limits assessment of mineral load, which is important for urinary health.
5

Multiple fish proteins

While beneficial for variety, using several fish types may not be ideal for cats requiring limited-ingredient diets.

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.
