Oven Baked Tradition
Kitten food prepared with fresh chicken, fruits & vegetables
Summary
Oven-baked Tradition Kitten food, prepared with fresh chicken, fruits, and vegetables, is a dry food formulated specifically for growing kittens, offering a balanced nutritional profile to support early development and healthy growth.
The first ingredient is fresh chicken, which provides high-quality, easily digestible animal protein essential for muscle development and overall growth in kittens.
Dehydrated chicken further boosts the protein content, contributing to the 30% crude protein level that supports tissue repair, immune function, and lean body mass.
The inclusion of whole grains such as dehulled barley, brown rice, and rye offers complex carbohydrates for sustained energy release, along with fiber to aid digestion.
Canola oil and salmon oil supply essential fatty acids, including omega-3 (1.1%) and omega-6 (2.5%), which are critical for brain development, skin health, and a shiny coat.
Fruits and vegetables like pumpkin, carrots, spinach, and blueberries provide natural sources of antioxidants, vitamins, and phytonutrients that support immune health and cellular protection.
Adding glucosamine and chondroitin (100 mg/kg each) helps support joint development, which is crucial during the rapid growth phase of kittens.
Flaxseed and inulin contribute to digestive health by providing prebiotic fiber, supporting beneficial gut bacteria and regular bowel movements.
With a metabolizable energy of 3789 kcal/kg and 16% fat, the formula delivers the caloric density needed to meet the high energy demands of kittens.
The food is slowly oven-baked in small batches, which may help preserve nutrient integrity and improve palatability compared to high-temperature extrusion methods.

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.
