Summary

Open Farm’s Homestead Turkey & Chicken is a dry cat food formulated for cats at all life stages, featuring humanely raised turkey and chicken as the primary ingredients.

This grain-free recipe includes a blend of garbanzo beans, lentils, and pumpkin to support digestive health.

With a crude protein content of 38.5% and crude fat at 18.5%, it aims to provide balanced nutrition.

The inclusion of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids promotes skin and coat health.

This product is free from artificial additives, focusing on natural, responsibly sourced ingredients.

 

Pros:

  • High Protein Content: Contains 38.5% crude protein, primarily sourced from humanely raised turkey and chicken, supporting muscle maintenance and overall health.
  • Digestive Support: Inclusion of fiber-rich ingredients like garbanzo beans, lentils, and pumpkin aids in healthy digestion.
  • Omega Fatty Acids: Provides omega-3 (1.3%) and omega-6 (4%) fatty acids, promoting healthy skin and a shiny coat.
  • Natural Ingredients: Free from artificial additives, ensuring a wholesome cat diet.

 

Cons:

  • High Ash Content: The crude ash content is 11.5%, representing the total mineral content; monitoring mineral intake is advisable for cats with specific health concerns.
  • Presence of Legumes: Contains garbanzo beans and lentils, which some cats may be sensitive to, potentially leading to digestive issues in susceptible individuals.
  • Moderate Fat Content: With a crude fat content of 18.5%, it may not provide sufficient energy for highly active cats requiring higher fat intake.
  • Grain-Free Formula: While beneficial for some, a grain-free diet may not be necessary for all cats and could be a consideration for pet owners.

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.
