Oven Baked Tradition
Adult cat food prepared with fresh fish, fruits & vegetables
Summary
Oven Baked Tradition Adult cat food prepared with fresh fish, fruits & vegetables is a dry formula for adult indoor and outdoor cats focused on balanced daily maintenance and digestive comfort.
Fresh fish is the first ingredient, providing highly digestible animal protein and natural omega‑3s to support lean muscles and healthy skin.
At 27% crude protein and 14% fat with a metabolizable energy of 3540 kcal/kg, it offers a moderate energy density suitable for most adult cats’ everyday needs.
Additional fish meal and salmon oil, along with ground whole flaxseed, supply omega‑3 (1%) and omega‑6 (2%) fatty acids that help maintain a shiny coat and normal inflammatory balance.
Oatmeal, dehulled barley, and brown rice contribute carbohydrate energy and fiber, while beet pulp, inulin, and pumpkin add prebiotic and fermentable fibers that support stool quality and regularity.
The mineral profile lists calcium at 0.8%, phosphorus at 0.75%, and magnesium at 0.1%, a controlled balance that helps support urinary tract well‑being in healthy adult cats.
Cranberries, blueberries, green tea extract, rosemary extract, and vitamin E provide antioxidant support to help protect cells from everyday oxidative stress.
Glucosamine and chondroitin (each 100 mg/kg) are included to nourish cartilage and support joint comfort in active cats.
The kibble is slowly oven‑baked for a denser texture, and the recipe uses in‑house milled whole grains and natural preservatives (mixed tocopherols, citric acid) with no artificial flavors or preservatives.
Added taurine supports heart function and vision, while brewer’s yeast contributes B‑vitamins and can enhance palatability.
Pros:
- Fish-first animal protein: Fresh fish as the first ingredient offers digestible protein and natural omega‑3s for muscle maintenance and skin health.
- Balanced maintenance nutrition: 27% protein, 14% fat, and 3540 kcal/kg provide moderate energy for adult cats without excessive calories.
- Skin and coat support: Declared omega‑3 (1%) and omega‑6 (2%) from fish, salmon oil, and flaxseed help maintain a glossy coat and healthy skin barrier.
- Digestive and fiber blend: Beet pulp, inulin, and pumpkin supply fermentable fibers that support beneficial gut microbes and consistent stools.
- Urinary-friendly mineral levels: Magnesium at 0.1% with controlled calcium and phosphorus helps support a healthy urinary environment.
- Antioxidant protection: Cranberries, blueberries, green tea extract, rosemary, and vitamin E provide phytonutrients that help counter everyday oxidative stress.
Cons:
- Relatively high ash: At 7.65%, the total mineral content is on the higher side and may be unsuitable for cats that require lower‑mineral diets per veterinary guidance.
- Not grain-free: Oatmeal, barley, and brown rice contribute carbohydrates, which may not fit owners seeking grain‑free or lower‑carb formulas.
- Limited joint additive levels: Glucosamine and chondroitin at 100 mg/kg each are modest and may offer only minimal joint support.
- Broad ingredient mix for a “hypoallergenic” claim: The recipe includes many plant ingredients and “may contain traces of peanuts,” which may not suit cats needing tightly limited ingredient exposures.
- Unspecified “natural flavor”: The flavor source is not defined, which can be a transparency concern for some pet owners.

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.
