Prima Cat
Grain Free Chicken For All Adult Cats
Summary
PrimaCat Grain-Free Chicken is a dry food formulated for adult cats of all activity levels. Its focus is on digestibility, high animal protein content, and a fully grain-free composition.
The first ingredients are fresh chicken (26%) and dehydrated chicken (26%), which provide a total of 52% chicken-based protein and form the foundation of the food’s 90% animal protein content.
Peas and potatoes are the primary carbohydrate substitutes for grains, offering energy without common grain allergens like wheat, corn, or soy.
Dehydrated turkey (10%) adds a secondary animal protein source, while salmon oil, chicken liver, and brewer’s yeast contribute to nutrient density, flavor, and coat health.
Digestive support comes from prebiotics MOS and FOS (200 mg/kg) and a fiber content of 4.1%, with added plant-based “superfoods” including sea buckthorn, cranberry, catnip, rosemary, and algae.
The guaranteed analysis lists 31% crude protein, 15% fat, 4.1% fiber, and 7.0% ash, with calcium at 1.4% and phosphorus at 1.1%, ensuring a balanced mineral intake for adult maintenance.
Pros:
High animal protein content: 90% of total protein is from animal sources, led by fresh and dehydrated chicken (52%) and turkey (10%), supporting lean muscle and overall vitality.
Grain-free and corn-free: This diet excludes all cereal ingredients, using peas and potatoes to reduce the risk of food intolerance or allergic responses in sensitive cats.
Digestive and immune support: Prebiotics MOS and FOS help maintain gut flora balance, and superfoods like sea buckthorn and cranberry may contribute antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits.
Skin and coat health: Salmon oil, zinc (150 mg/kg), and biotin support skin hydration, coat quality, and nail strength.
Moderate energy and fat: With 15% fat and 3,720 kcal/kg, the food supports active and young adult cats without excessive caloric density for more sedentary cats.
Balanced mineral content: Provides calcium (1.4%) and phosphorus (1.1%) at ratios appropriate for adult maintenance without overloading mineral reserves.
Cons:
Moderate ash content: At 7.0%, the ash level reflects a relatively high mineral density, which may not suit cats with chronic kidney or urinary issues.
No fresh fish protein: While salmon oil is present, there are no fish-based proteins, which may limit the variety of EPA/DHA compared to diets with whole fish inclusion.
Unspecified carbohydrate proportion: The presence of peas and potatoes is not quantified, making it difficult to assess the exact carbohydrate load, which may be relevant for overweight or diabetic cats.
Low moisture typical of dry foods: With 10% moisture, like most kibble diets, this food requires cats to obtain adequate hydration separately to support urinary health.
Includes generic “antioxidants”: While permitted under EU regulations, the specific types used are not declared, which limits transparency.

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.
