Summary

Nutrience SubZero Fraser Valley is a high-protein dry cat food formulated for cats of all life stages, combining premium animal proteins with freeze-dried raw inclusions to support overall feline health.
The first ingredient, deboned chicken, provides a highly digestible, lean source of animal protein that supports muscle development and maintenance.
Additional animal-based ingredients such as deboned turkey, chicken meal, turkey meal, and organ meats like chicken and turkey liver enhance the amino acid profile and deliver essential nutrients like iron and vitamin A.
The inclusion of freeze-dried raw chicken, green-lipped mussels, cod liver, and kelp in the Nutriboost component provides functional benefits, including joint support, omega-3 fatty acids for anti-inflammatory effects, and natural sources of iodine and antioxidants.
At 40% crude protein and 16% fat, the formula is energy-dense and suitable for active cats or those with higher protein needs, such as growing kittens or outdoor cats.
Prebiotics (inulin) and a blend of probiotics (L. acidophilus, L. casei, E. faecium, B. bifidum) support digestive health by promoting a balanced gut microbiome and improving nutrient absorption.
Omega-3 (0.4%) and omega-6 (3.5%) fatty acids contribute to healthy skin and a shiny coat, while also supporting immune and cognitive function.
Taurine at 0.15% is included at a sufficient level to support heart function, vision, and reproductive health in cats.
With a controlled magnesium level of 0.1% and phosphorus at 0.9%, the formula helps support urinary tract health by reducing the risk of crystal formation.
The absence of wheat, soy, corn, dairy, and eggs makes it a suitable option for cats with common food sensitivities, though it is not a limited-ingredient or hypoallergenic formula.

Pros
Expand All
1

High animal protein content

Multiple sources of fresh and meal-based poultry and fish provide a rich amino acid profile for muscle maintenance and overall vitality.
2

Freeze-dried raw inclusions

Nutriboost cubes offer minimally processed nutrients and functional ingredients like green-lipped mussels and cod liver for joint and immune support.
3

Digestive health support

A blend of prebiotics and four probiotic strains promotes gut health and enhances nutrient absorption.
4

Balanced fatty acid profile

Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids support skin integrity, coat quality, and inflammatory balance.
5

Urinary tract support

Controlled levels of magnesium (0.1%) and phosphorus (0.9%) help reduce the risk of urinary crystal formation.
6

Free from common allergens

No wheat, soy, corn, dairy, or eggs, reducing the likelihood of dietary sensitivities in many cats.
Cons
Expand All
1

High ash content

At 7.5%, the ash level may be excessive for cats with kidney or urinary sensitivities and could contribute to mineral buildup.
2

Use of plant-based proteins

Ingredients like peas and pea protein contribute to the total protein, but are less biologically suitable than animal sources for obligate carnivores.
3

Moderate carbohydrate level

At 21.5%, the carbohydrate content is relatively high for a carnivorous species and may not suit cats requiring low-carb diets.
4

Inclusion of alfalfa meal

While a source of fiber and phytonutrients, alfalfa is not a natural part of a feline diet and may be unnecessary for obligate carnivores.
5

Multiple protein sources

The variety of animal proteins may not be ideal for cats with food sensitivities requiring single-protein 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.
