Prima Cat
Grain Free Salmon for Adult Cat
Summary
PrimaCat Grain-Free Salmon is a dry food specifically designed for adult cats of all activity levels, emphasizing digestibility and the use of natural ingredients.
It uses fresh salmon (26%) as the primary ingredient, supplemented by 26% dehydrated chicken and 12% dehydrated turkey to provide a rich base of animal protein.
The formula is entirely free from grains, corn, wheat, and added sugars, making it suitable for cats with sensitive digestion.
Alternative carbohydrates such as peas and potatoes are used instead of grains to provide energy while maintaining a lower glycemic load.
Salmon oil, combined with added zinc and biotin, enhances the condition of the skin and coat, while a blend of natural prebiotics (MOS and FOS) supports digestive health.
With 33% protein, 17% fat, 3.5% fiber, 7.1% ash, and 10% moisture, it provides approximately 36.7% protein and 32.2% carbohydrates on a dry matter basis.
Pros:
High-quality animal proteins: 90% of the protein content is animal-based, coming from fresh salmon, dehydrated chicken, and turkey.
Omega fatty acid support: 0.9% omega-3 and 2.2% omega-6 contribute to a healthy coat, skin maintenance, and the control of inflammation.
Grain-free and digestion-friendly: No corn, wheat, or grains, making it suitable for cats with sensitivities to traditional cereals.
Digestive health enhancement: Includes MOS, FOS, brewer’s yeast, and a superfoods blend to support gut microbiome balance and overall health.
Taurine inclusion: 2,000 mg/kg taurine to support heart health, vision, and overall well-being.
Cons:
Moderate carbohydrate level: At 32.2% on a dry matter basis, carbohydrates are relatively high for a grain-free formula designed for obligate carnivores.
Presence of plant proteins: Peas and potatoes contribute plant-based proteins, diluting the focus on animal-derived amino acids.
Ash content is moderately high: At 7.1%, the ash level may indicate a higher mineral load, which could be unsuitable for cats with sensitive kidneys.
No DHA/EPA breakdown: Although salmon oil is included, specific levels of DHA and EPA—critical for brain and eye development—are not disclosed.
No chelated minerals: Minerals are added but not in chelated form, which can limit their absorption efficiency.

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.
