Product Summary

OptiMeal’s “Adult Cats – High In Veal” is a premium dry food crafted to meet the nutritional needs of adult cats.

It emphasizes high-quality animal proteins for optimal health.

Its first ingredient is fresh deboned veal meat (14%), providing easily digestible protein for healthy digestion and lean muscle maintenance.

The recipe includes an Immunity Support Mix with herbs, berries, antioxidants, and prebiotics to strengthen the immune system.

Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, zinc, and biotin promote healthy skin and a shiny coat.

 

Pros:

  • High Animal Protein Content: A significant proportion of animal-derived protein supports muscle health and overall vitality.
  • Fresh Veal as the First Ingredient: Deboned veal ensures a high-quality, palatable protein source.
  • Immune System Support: Enriched with natural antioxidants, prebiotics, and other nutrients to bolster immunity.
  • Skin and Coat Health: Includes essential fatty acids, zinc, and biotin for maintaining a healthy coat and skin.
  • Veterinarian-Supervised Production: Created using advanced technology to ensure top-tier nutritional quality.

 

Cons:

  • Moderate Fat Content: The 16% fat level may not be ideal for less active or overweight cats.
  • Contains Grains: Includes rice, barley, corn gluten, and corn, which may not suit cats with grain sensitivities.
  • Limited Veal Percentage: Despite veal being the first ingredient, it makes up only 14% of the formula, complemented by other protein sources.
  • Caloric Density: At 402.36 kcal per 100g, careful portion control is necessary to prevent overfeeding.
  • Potential Allergens: Contains poultry proteins, which might not be suitable for cats with specific allergies.

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.
