Summary

Ownat Classic – Light Fresh Chicken is a dry cat food formulated specifically for adult cats with a tendency to gain weight, offering a reduced-fat recipe that supports healthy weight management without compromising muscle maintenance.
The first ingredient is dehydrated meats (22%), followed by 10% fresh chicken, which provides high-quality animal protein that is more digestible and biologically valuable for maintaining lean muscle mass.
With a crude protein level of 27% and a reduced fat content of 9%, the formula is designed to lower calorie intake while preserving essential muscle tissue, making it suitable for overweight or less active cats.
The inclusion of L-carnitine (200 mg/kg) supports fat metabolism, helping the body convert fat into energy and further assisting in weight control.
Whole grains such as wheat, maize, barley, and rice provide complex carbohydrates and dietary fiber, contributing to satiety and digestive regularity, although they may not suit all dietary preferences.
Natural antioxidants from plant-based sources replace artificial preservatives, aligning with a clean-label approach and supporting cellular health.
Functional ingredients like beet pulp and brewer’s yeast promote gut health and nutrient absorption, while added prebiotics (fructo- and mannan-oligosaccharides) help maintain a balanced intestinal microbiota.
Salmon oil and dehydrated fish contribute essential fatty acids, although specific omega-3 and omega-6 levels are not disclosed, which limits precise evaluation of their anti-inflammatory and skin-supporting benefits.
Vitamins A, D3, E, and C, along with trace minerals like zinc, iron, and selenium, support immune function, skin integrity, and overall vitality.
Herbal extracts such as fennel, chamomile, and green anise may offer mild digestive and anti-inflammatory benefits, enhancing palatability and gastrointestinal comfort.

Cons
Expand All
1

High carbohydrate content

At 45.5%, the carbohydrate level is elevated, which may not align with the natural low-carb needs of obligate carnivores.
2

Use of multiple grains

Whole wheat, maize, barley, and rice may be unsuitable for cats with grain sensitivities or owners seeking grain-free options.
3

Undisclosed magnesium and omega levels

Lack of declared magnesium, omega-3, and omega-6 values limits assessment of urinary and skin health support.
4

Moderate ash content

At 7%, the ash level may be a concern for cats with kidney or urinary sensitivities.
5

Mixed protein sources

Inclusion of fish, chicken, and hydrolyzed proteins may not suit cats requiring single-protein or limited-ingredient diets.

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.
