Product Summary

OptiMeal Adult Turkey and Vegetables Grain-Free is a premium dry kibble formulated for adult cats. It prioritizes digestive health, weight management, and overall immunity.

The grain-free, gluten-free formula minimizes digestive strain and lowers the risk of food allergies, making it suitable for sensitive cats.

The recipe contains 38% crude protein, 85.77% of which is derived from animal sources, including 45% dehydrated turkey protein and 5% fresh minced turkey meat. This supports muscle maintenance and optimal health.

High vegetable content, including pumpkin, carrots, and peas, provides low glycemic carbohydrates, reducing diabetes risk while offering natural fiber and vitamins.

Omega-3 (4.9 g/kg) and omega-6 (39.1 g/kg) fatty acids, along with zinc and biotin, promote healthy skin and a shiny coat.

This super-premium diet is fortified with Immunity Support Mix, prebiotics (Actigen®), and natural antioxidants for immunity and overall vitality.

 

Pros:

  • Grain-Free and Allergy-Friendly: Gluten-free composition minimizes allergens and supports digestive health for sensitive cats.
  • High-Quality Protein: 38% crude protein, with 85.77% from animal sources, including fresh and dehydrated turkey, ensures muscle development and maintenance.
  • Weight and Diabetes Management: Low glycemic vegetables like pumpkin and peas help maintain weight and reduce diabetes risk.
  • Enhanced Skin and Coat: Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, zinc, and biotin promote a glossy coat and healthy skin.
  • Immune Support: Immunity Support Mix and prebiotics like Actigen® enhance gut health and strengthen the immune system.
  • Palatable and Nutritious: Fresh turkey and natural vegetables provide a flavorful, nutrient-dense diet.

 

Cons:

  • Moderate Fresh Meat Inclusion: Only 5% of the turkey meat is included, and the rest is sourced more heavily from dehydrated sources.
  • Low Fiber Content: Crude fiber (1.7%) may not suffice for cats requiring more robust digestive or hairball management.
  • Carbohydrate Heavy: Includes tapioca, potato starch, and peas, which may concern those seeking lower-carb diets for obligate carnivores.
  • No Live Probiotics: While Actigen® supports gut health, the absence of live probiotics may limit digestive benefits.
  • Artificial Additives: Contains EU-permitted antioxidants, which may not appeal to owners seeking a fully natural formulation.

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.
