Summary

Primordial Grain-Free, Sterilized Turkey & Herring is designed for adult sterilized cats, emphasizing a grain-free formulation to support healthy weight and overall well-being.

Fresh turkey meat (35%) is the primary protein source, supported by dehydrated herring (10%) and chicken, offering a protein content of 33%.

The addition of Omega-3 fatty acids from fish enhances skin and coat health, while natural ingredients like yucca and beet pulp support digestion and odor control.

 

Pros:

  • High protein content (33%) from multiple animal sources (turkey, herring, and chicken) aids in muscle maintenance.
  • Rich in Omega-3 fatty acids from herring, promoting skin and coat health.
  • Includes yucca extract and beet pulp for improved digestion and reduced stool odor.
  • Grain-free formulation reduces the risk of carbohydrate-related weight gain in sterilized cats.

 

Cons:

  • Fat content of 14% may be slightly high for less active or indoor cats.
  • Includes legumes like peas and broad beans, which may not be suitable for cats with sensitivities.
  • Ash content at 7.5% might be on the higher side for some cat owners concerned about mineral content.

Provide as many details as possible about Primordial: Sterilized Turkey & Herring so we can make it better!

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.
