Summary

OptiMeal Adult Cats Hairball Control – Duck is a specially formulated grain-inclusive diet designed to help remove hairballs while providing complete nutrition for adult cats.

The recipe features fresh minced duck meat as the primary protein source, offering high-quality, easily digestible animal protein.

Natural insoluble fiber aids intestinal health by promoting the gentle removal of fur, helping to prevent the formation of hairballs.

It includes the Immunity Support Mix complex, enriched with herbs, berries, antioxidants, and prebiotics to strengthen immunity and overall health.

Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids, zinc, and biotin contribute to healthy skin and a shiny coat, while 68.90% of the protein content is derived from animal sources.

This formula is manufactured under veterinary supervision using advanced Swiss nutrition technology, ensuring high-quality ingredients and optimal health benefits.

 

Pros:

  • Effective Hairball Management: Contains natural insoluble fiber to promote the smooth removal of fur from the digestive tract, reducing hairball formation.
  • High-Quality Protein: Composed of 34% crude protein, primarily from duck and hydrolyzed chicken liver, ensuring easy digestibility and lean muscle maintenance.
  • Immunity Boost features the Immunity Support Mix complex, which incorporates natural antioxidants, prebiotics, and herbs like chamomile and nettle to promote immune health.
  • Skin and Coat Health: Enriched with Omega-3 (5.4 g/kg) and Omega-6 (28.2 g/kg) fatty acids, zinc, and biotin to nourish the skin and promote a glossy coat.
  • Veterinarian-Supervised: Produced under veterinary guidance, guaranteeing premium ingredients and quality assurance.

 

Cons:

  • Fiber Levels: Contains 5.5% crude fiber, which may be excessive for cats not requiring targeted hairball support or higher fiber diets.
  • Moderate Fat Content: The 16% crude fat content may not suit cats needing lower-fat options for weight control.
  • Carbohydrate Sources: These include rice and corn, which may not align with cat owners’ preference for a grain-free diet for their cats.
  • Limited Protein Variety: While duck is the primary protein source, cats with allergies to poultry may require alternative options.
  • Caloric Density: With 380.65 kcal per 100 g, portion control is crucial to prevent overeating, particularly for less active cats.

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.
