Summary

Prins VitalCare Senior is a premium dry kibble tailored to meet the changing nutritional needs of cats aged 8 years and older, supporting weight management, joint health, kidney function, and immunity.
The formula contains 28% crude protein, 22% of which is derived from dehydrated poultry.
Thus, it offers high-quality nutrition to maintain muscle mass in aging cats.

With decreased phosphorus levels (0.9%), this recipe helps reduce the strain on aging kidneys, supporting long-term renal health.
Enriched with vitamin D, zinc, and selenium, the formula enhances immune function and ensures resilience in older cats.
Including chicory pulp, inulin, and yeast hydrolysate promotes digestive health and supports overall nutrient absorption.

Cons
Expand All
1

Moderate Protein Content

At 28%, protein levels may not be sufficient for senior cats with higher muscle maintenance needs.
2

Carbohydrate Heavy

Ingredients like corn, corn gluten, and rice contribute significant carbohydrates, which may not align with obligate carnivore diets.
3

Low Omega-3 Levels

The fish oil content (0.5%) provides limited omega-3 fatty acids, potentially restricting anti-inflammatory benefits.
4

Limited Fresh Meat Inclusion

Relies on 22% dehydrated poultry instead of higher inclusions of fresh or whole meat sources.
5

No Probiotics

While inulin is included, the absence of live probiotics may limit digestive health benefits for sensitive senior cats.

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.
