The formula contains chicken fat and salmon oil (2%), offering omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids to promote healthy skin and a glossy coat.
Dried apple peels (1%) and carrots (0.5%) contribute natural fiber and antioxidants, enhancing immune function.
The inclusion of mannan-oligosaccharides (0.017%) and fructo-oligosaccharides (0.014%) supports beneficial gut bacteria, aiding digestion.
Vitamins and minerals are added to ensure balanced nutrition, including taurine (2,500 mg/kg) for heart health and vision support.
The product is grain-free, with no added dyes or preservatives, aligning with a natural diet approach.
Pros:
- High protein content: Crude protein at 40% supports robust muscle development in growing kittens.
- Omega fatty acids: The inclusion of salmon oil provides omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, promoting skin and coat health.
- Digestive support: Mannan-oligosaccharides and fructo-oligosaccharides aid in maintaining healthy gut flora.
- Antioxidant-rich: Dried apple peels and carrots offer natural antioxidants to bolster the immune system.
- Taurine enrichment: Contains 2,500 mg/kg of taurine, essential for cardiovascular and ocular health.
Cons:
- High-fat content: Crude fat at 17% may be excessive for less active kittens, potentially leading to weight gain.
- Pea protein inclusion: Reliance on plant-based proteins may not provide animal proteins’ complete amino acid profile.
- Limited ingredient variety: Primary reliance on chicken may not suit kittens with poultry allergies.
- Low fiber content: Crude fiber at 1.8% might be insufficient for optimal digestive health in some kittens.

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.
