Summary

OptiMeal Sterilised Turkey and Oat is a super-premium dry cat food tailored for sterilized cats. It focuses on weight management and urinary health.

The formula features 37% crude protein, with 56.88% of the protein derived from animal sources like turkey, ensuring high-quality, easily digestible nutrition.

Balanced mineral content helps maintain urinary tract health by regulating pH and minimizing crystal formation, reducing the risk of urolithiasis.

The addition of L-carnitine supports weight management by converting excess body fat into energy, promoting a lean body build.

Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, zinc, and biotin contribute to healthy skin and a shiny coat, while natural antioxidants and prebiotics enhance immunity and digestion.

The diet is enriched with herbs like chamomile, nettle, and thyme, which offer additional health benefits and is manufactured under veterinary supervision using Swiss technology.

 

Pros:

  • High Animal Protein Content: Contains 37% crude protein, with 56.88% from animal sources like turkey, promoting muscle maintenance and overall vitality.
  • Urinary Health Support: Balanced calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium levels help regulate urinary pH and reduce the risk of urinary crystal formation.
  • Weight Management: L-carnitine aids in fat metabolism, helping sterilized cats maintain a healthy weight and lean body build.
  • Immune and Digestive Health: Includes prebiotics like Actigen® and natural antioxidants to strengthen immunity and improve gut health.
  • Skin and Coat Benefits: Omega-3 (5.1 g per 100 g) and omega-6 (22.1 g per 100 g) fatty acids, along with zinc and biotin, promote healthy skin and a shiny coat.
  • Veterinarian Supervised: Manufactured under the guidance of veterinarians using advanced Swiss Pet Nutrition technology for quality assurance.

 

Cons:

  • Moderate Fat Content: At 12%, the fat content may not provide sufficient energy for highly active cats or those who need to gain weight.
  • High Carbohydrate Inclusion: Ingredients like corn, rice, and naked oats contribute significant carbohydrates, which may not align with the low-carb needs of obligate carnivores.
  • Limited Fresh Meat Inclusion: While deboned turkey is included, it constitutes only 5% of the formula, which may not satisfy owners seeking a higher fresh meat content.
  • No Probiotics: The absence of live probiotics may limit additional digestive health support for sensitive cats.
  • Artificial Additives: Contains natural antioxidants and tocopherol-rich extracts, but no details on whether artificial additives are entirely avoided.

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.
