Purina Pro Plan
Adult 1+ Vital Functions Rich In Salmon
Summary
Purina Pro Plan Adult 1+ Vital Functions Rich in Salmon is a dry cat food formulated to support essential vital functions, including brain activity, immune strength, and kidney health.
The recipe features high-quality salmon (18%) as the primary animal protein, providing essential amino acids and omega-3 fatty acids for overall well-being.
Dehydrated poultry protein, wheat, and rice contribute to a balanced nutrient profile, ensuring digestibility and sustained energy levels.
Key functional ingredients include arginine (2.3%) for kidney function support and antioxidants like vitamin C (160 mg/kg) and vitamin E (670 mg/kg) for immune system reinforcement.
Omega-3 fatty acids (0.7%) from fish oil and salmon promote cognitive function, memory retention, and problem-solving abilities in adult cats.
Dehydrated chicory root and vegetable fiber aid digestion by promoting gut health and optimal nutrient absorption.
This formula is designed to provide complete and balanced nutrition, meeting the needs of adult cats for daily vitality and long-term health.
Pros:
Brain function support: Enriched with omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants to enhance cognitive performance, including memory and adaptability.
Kidney health protection: Contains arginine (2.3%) and omega-3s to promote renal function and reduce strain on the kidneys.
Strong immune defense: High levels of vitamin C (160 mg/kg) and vitamin E (670 mg/kg) help protect against oxidative stress and support immunity.
Highly digestible protein: High-quality salmon (18%) and dehydrated poultry protein ensure optimal protein intake for muscle maintenance.
Digestive health benefits: Dehydrated chicory root and vegetable fiber support gut balance and healthy digestion.
Cons:
Contains wheat and maize: It may not suit cats with grain sensitivities or allergies.
Moderate omega-3 levels: While beneficial, the omega-3 content (0.7%) is lower than in other premium formulas.
Higher carbohydrate content: Including wheat, rice, and maize protein meal increases the carbohydrate load.
Animal fat source unspecified: The generic “animal fat” use lacks transparency regarding the specific animal origin.

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.
