Summary

OptiMeal Nutrient Balance Adult Chicken is a premium dry food designed to meet the nutritional needs of adult cats.

This recipe features fresh chicken meat (5%) as the primary ingredient. It delivers high-quality, easily digestible animal protein that promotes healthy digestion.

Enriched with the Immunity Support Mix, the formula incorporates herbs, berries, and prebiotics to support immune health and overall well-being.

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

This diet, which contains 81.91% protein of animal origin, is formulated under veterinary supervision using advanced Swiss nutrition technology to provide a balanced and complete meal.

 

Pros:

  • High-Quality Protein: Contains 34% crude protein, primarily from chicken, to support muscle maintenance and overall health.
  • Digestive Support: Includes prebiotics, linseed, and easily digestible chicken protein to aid in digestive health.
  • Skin and Coat Health: Enriched with Omega-3 (5.5 g/kg) and Omega-6 (33.2 g/kg) fatty acids, biotin, and zinc to promote a shiny coat and healthy skin.
  • Dental Benefits: Special kibble shape and texture aid in reducing plaque buildup and maintaining dental hygiene.
  • Immune Support: This product features the Immunity Support Mix, which includes marigold meal, cranberry, and chamomile, to enhance immunity and reduce inflammation.

 

Cons:

  • Moderate Fiber Content: The crude fiber level (1.5%) may not be sufficient for cats requiring additional digestive support.
  • Grain Content: Includes rice and corn, which may not align with cat owners’ preference for grain-free options.
  • Caloric Density: At 402.36 kcal per 100 g, careful portion control is needed for less active cats to prevent weight gain.
  • Limited Fresh Meat: While chicken is the primary ingredient, fresh deboned chicken constitutes only 5% of the recipe.
  • Flavor Preference: Cats with a preference for fish or alternative proteins may not find this recipe as appealing.

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.
