Summary
Pawpaw Adult Chicken is a complete dry food formulated for adult cats.
It is designed to meet their nutritional needs, focusing on quality protein and balanced nutrients.
The formula includes dried animal protein and a minimum of 5% chicken meat, providing 26% crude protein to support muscle maintenance and overall vitality.
Omega-3 (0.2 mg/kg) and omega-6 (0.4 mg/kg) fatty acids promote healthy skin and a shiny coat.
Enriched with taurine (1,000 mg/kg) and essential vitamins such as A, D, E, and C, it supports vision, heart health, and immune function.
Grains like rice, corn, and wheat provide digestible carbohydrates, while beer yeast enhances flavor and may aid digestion.
Pros:
- Multiple protein sources: Includes dried animal protein and chicken, offering a variety of proteins to support muscle health.
- Digestive support: Contains beer yeast, which may enhance gut health and improve palatability.
- Vitamin-rich formula: Fortified with vitamins A (12,500 IU/kg), D (1,000 IU/kg), E (80 mg/kg), and C (120 mg/kg) for immune and overall health.
- Omega fatty acids: Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids promote a healthy coat and skin.
- Balanced fat content: Contains 14% crude fat, providing energy for adult cats.
- Adequate mineral levels: Includes calcium (2%) and phosphorus (1%) to support bone health and overall vitality.
Cons:
- Moderate protein content: With 26% crude protein, it may not meet the higher protein needs of some active or high-energy cats.
- Grain inclusion: Contains rice, corn, and wheat, which may not be suitable for cats with grain sensitivities or allergies.
- Low omega fatty acid levels: Omega-3 (0.2 mg/kg) and omega-6 (0.4 mg/kg) levels are lower than those in premium formulations.
- Limited chicken content: Chicken meat comprises a minimum of 5%, which is relatively modest compared to other chicken-based formulas.
- High fiber content: At 6%, crude fiber may not suit cats with lower fiber tolerance.
- Unspecified animal protein source: The “dried animal protein” lacks transparency about its type and quality.

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.
