Product Summary

Optimanova Cat Adult Chicken & Rice is a super-premium dry food designed for adult cats with average activity levels.

Fresh chicken (40%) and dehydrated chicken (30%) provide high-quality protein to support muscle health and vitality.

The recipe includes 10% rice, offering an easily digestible carbohydrate source for sustained energy.

Balanced calcium (1.1%) and phosphorus (1%) levels reduce plaque formation, promoting oral hygiene and dental health.

Enriched with omega-3 (0.6%) and omega-6 (3%) fatty acids and zinc, it supports healthy skin, a shiny coat, and a strong immune system.

The formula is further enhanced with prebiotics like inulin and mannan-oligosaccharides to aid digestion and promote gut health.

 

Pros:

  • High Protein Content: Its 32% crude protein comes from fresh and dehydrated chicken, supporting muscle maintenance and overall health.
  • Skin and Coat Health: Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, combined with zinc, maintain skin health and promote a shiny coat.
  • Digestive Support: Prebiotics like inulin (0.1%) and mannan-oligosaccharides (0.1%) improve gut flora and digestion.
  • Dental Benefits: Calcium-phosphorus balance reduces plaque and tartar, enhancing oral hygiene.

 

Cons:

  • Moderate Fat Content: The 16% fat level may not suit cats requiring a low-fat diet.
  • Grain Inclusion: Maize is included, which may not be ideal for cats with grain sensitivities.
  • Low Fiber Content: Crude fiber at 3% may not suffice for cats needing higher fiber intake.
  • Sodium Monitoring: Contains sodium chloride, which should be considered for cats with specific health conditions.

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.
