Summary

Open Farm’s Wild-Caught Salmon Dry Cat Food is a grain-free formula for cats at all life stages.

The primary ingredient is wild-caught Pacific salmon, providing a high-quality protein source rich in omega-3 fatty acids to support healthy skin and coat.

The inclusion of ingredients like chickpeas and pumpkin offers dietary fiber to aid digestion.

This recipe is free from artificial additives and meat by-products, focusing on wholesome, natural nutrition.

It is suitable for indoor and outdoor cats, aiming to effectively meet their nutritional needs.

 

Pros:

  • High Protein Content: Contains 38.5% crude protein, primarily sourced from wild-caught salmon and ocean whitefish meal, supporting muscle maintenance and overall health.
  • Rich in Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Provides 1.5% omega-3 fatty acids, which contribute to healthy skin, a shiny coat, and support cognitive function.
  • Digestive Support: Includes prebiotic fibers from ingredients like chickpeas and pumpkin, aiding in healthy digestion.
  • Essential Nutrients: Enriched with vitamins such as Vitamin A (100,000 IU) and Vitamin E (215 IU), supporting overall well-being.
  • Natural Ingredients: Free from artificial additives and meat by-products, ensuring a natural and wholesome diet for cats.

 

Cons:

  • High-Fat Content: Contains 19% crude fat, which may not be suitable for less active or overweight cats.
  • Legume Inclusion: Ingredients like chickpeas and lentils are present, which some cats may have sensitivities to.
  • Low Fiber Content: With a crude fiber content of 2%, it might not provide sufficient fiber for cats requiring higher fiber intake for digestive health.
  • Ash Content: The crude ash content is 10%, which is on the higher side and may be a consideration for some 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.
