Hairball Chicken & Rice - New Recipe
Summary
Optimanova Hairball Chicken & Rice – New Recipe is a complete dry diet formulated to support adult cats prone to hairball buildup by combining a formula with a draining effect with balanced nutrition.
Freshly prepared chicken, the first ingredient, delivers a high-quality source of animal protein that aids in muscle maintenance and supports overall vitality.
Dehydrated Chicken Protein further concentrates essential amino acids to sustain lean body mass and promote optimal tissue repair.
A specialized blend of dietary fibers from beet pulp, apple pulp, and rice helps to bind and gently move ingested hair through the digestive tract, reducing hairball formation and the risk of gastrointestinal blockages.
Added prebiotics such as inulin (FOS) and yeast-derived mannan-oligosaccharides (MOS) nurture beneficial gut bacteria, enhancing nutrient absorption and fortifying natural defenses.
Chicken oil and fish oil provide a spectrum of Omega-6 and Omega-3 fatty acids to nourish skin health, maintain a glossy coat, and support anti-inflammatory processes.
A precise balance of calcium, phosphorus, and added DL-methionine ensures strong bones and urinary tract health, while taurine safeguards cardiac function and vision.
The inclusion of ammonium chloride serves as a urinary acidifier, helping to maintain bladder and urinary tract integrity in both indoor and outdoor cats.
At 3753 kcal/kg of metabolizable energy, this formula provides sustained energy levels for active and indoor lifestyles, with a moisture content of 9% to align with typical dry kibble standards.

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.
