OptiMeal
Sterilised High in Beef and Sorghum
Summary
OptiMeal Sterilised High in Beef and Sorghum is a premium dry kibble tailored for sterilized and castrated cats. It promotes urinary tract health, weight control, and overall well-being.
The formula features 37% crude protein, with 62.38% sourced from animal sources, including fresh minced beef (14%), dehydrated turkey protein (12%), and dehydrated chicken protein (12%). These proteins provide essential amino acids for muscle maintenance.
A 12% fat content and the inclusion of whole sorghum grain (8%) with a low glycemic index help maintain an ideal physique and reduce the risk of diabetes.
Balanced minerals ensure urinary health by forming urine with low crystal concentrations and an optimal pH level, reducing the risk of urinary issues.
The addition of L-carnitine helps convert excess fat into energy, while natural herbs, berries, and antioxidants boost immune support and overall vitality.
Pros:
- High-Quality Protein: Features 37% crude protein with 62.38% derived from animal origins, including fresh minced beef, for muscle support and energy.
- Weight Management: Whole grain sorghum with a low glycemic index and L-carnitine help maintain a healthy weight in sterilized and castrated cats.
- Urinary Tract Health: Balanced mineral content supports urinary health by promoting low crystal concentrations and optimal pH in urine.
- Immune System Support: Contains herbs, berries, and an Immunity Support Mix to strengthen immunity and overall health.
- Skin and Coat Benefits: Omega-3 (6.8 g/kg) and omega-6 (33.27 g/kg) fatty acids and linseed and salmon oil promote a shiny coat and healthy skin.
Cons:
- Carbohydrate Content: Includes rice, corn, and sorghum, which may not align with the natural low-carb diet of obligate carnivores.
- Moderate Fat Content: The 12% crude fat level may be insufficient for highly active cats requiring additional energy.
- Low Fresh Meat Inclusion: While fresh beef is included, the formula relies heavily on dehydrated protein sources.
- No Live Probiotics: While Actigen® supports gut health, the absence of live probiotics may limit additional digestive benefits.
- Artificial Preservatives: Contains EU-permitted antioxidants and preservatives, which may not appeal to those seeking an all-natural diet.

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.
