The primary ingredients are chicken organs (35%) and fresh chicken trimmings (26%), providing essential proteins and nutrients for growth.
Peas and pea protein are included to supply additional plant-based proteins and fiber, supporting digestive health.
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:

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.
