Purina Pro Plan
Adult 1+ Derma Care (Elegant), Salmon
Summary
Pro Plan Elegant is a dry cat food formulated for adult cats, designed to support a healthy coat, lean body condition, and overall vitality in both indoor and outdoor environments.
The first ingredient, salmon, provides a high-quality animal protein source rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which support skin health and a shiny coat.
With a crude protein content of 36% and fat at 16%, the formula delivers a nutrient-dense profile that helps maintain lean muscle mass and energy levels in active adult cats.
Dehydrated salmon protein and dried egg further enhance the amino acid profile, supporting tissue repair and immune function.
Omega-3 (0.82%) and omega-6 (2.26%) fatty acids, including DHA (0.37%) and linoleic acid (1.9%), contribute to anti-inflammatory support, skin barrier integrity, and coat luster.
Beet pulp, cellulose, and dried chicory root (2%) provide fermentable and non-fermentable fibers that aid in digestive health and help control hairball formation.
The inclusion of taurine (0.2%) supports cardiac function and vision, essential for adult feline health.
Vitamins A (32,000 IU/kg), E (670 IU/kg), and C (140 mg/kg), along with beta-carotene (20 mg/kg), offer antioxidant protection to support immune resilience and cellular health.
Balanced mineral levels, including magnesium (0.1%), calcium (0.92%), and phosphorus (0.92%), help maintain urinary tract health and support bone integrity.
Choline (2,650 mg/kg) supports liver function and fat metabolism, contributing to overall metabolic efficiency.
Pros:
- High-quality protein from salmon: Supports muscle maintenance and provides essential omega-3s for skin and coat health.
- Rich in functional fiber sources: Beet pulp, cellulose, and chicory root promote digestive health and help reduce hairball formation.
- Strong antioxidant profile: High levels of vitamins A, E, C, and beta-carotene help protect cells from oxidative stress and support immune function.
- Balanced omega fatty acids: Omega-3 and omega-6 levels support anti-inflammatory processes, maintaining healthy skin and coat condition.
- Comprehensive vitamin B complex: B vitamins support energy metabolism, nervous system function, and skin health.
- Urinary and bone health support: Maintaining controlled levels of magnesium, calcium, and phosphorus helps support urinary tract function and skeletal strength.
Cons:
- Contains multiple grain sources: Wheat, corn, and corn gluten meal may not be suitable for cats with grain sensitivities or owners seeking grain-free options.
- Moderate crude fiber level: At 6%, fiber content may be high for some cats, potentially affecting stool consistency or palatability.
- Use of plant-based protein concentrates: Corn gluten and wheat gluten contribute to protein content but offer lower biological value than animal proteins.
- Relatively high ash content: At 7%, ash may be a concern for cats with kidney or urinary sensitivities.
- Animal fat source unspecified: A lack of detail on the origin of animal fat may be a concern for transparency or for cats with specific dietary needs.

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.
