Pro 33 Salmon & Shrimp Formula - Dry Food For Sterilized Cats
by ProchoiceSummary
Prochoice: Pro 33 Salmon & Shrimp Formula is a complete and balanced dry food formulated for adult sterilized cats.
It contains 31% dehydrated chicken protein as the primary protein source, with additional protein from 4% dehydrated salmon and dehydrated shrimp.
Carbohydrates come from maize (25%), green peas, and white rice (4%), providing an energy source for sterilized cats.
The formula includes animal fat (chicken) and salmon oil, supplying Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids for skin and coat health.
DL-methionine (5,000 mg/kg) is included to help prevent urinary stones and support urinary tract health.
Functional ingredients such as yeast extract (a natural source of MOS and beta-glucans) and Yucca schidigera aid digestion and help reduce stool odor.
The food is fortified with essential vitamins and minerals, including 1,500 mg/kg taurine for heart health and balanced minerals to support kidney and bladder function.
Pros:
- High protein content: 32% crude protein from multiple animal sources supports lean muscle maintenance.
- Essential fatty acids: Salmon oil provides Omega-3 and Omega-6 for skin and coat health.
- Urinary health support: DL-methionine helps prevent certain urinary stones.
- Antioxidant-rich: Dried cranberries provide natural antioxidants to support the immune system.
- Digestive support: Yeast extract and Yucca schidigera promote digestion and reduce stool odor.
Cons:
- Grain-based carbohydrates: Maize, white rice, and green peas increase carbohydrate levels, which may not be ideal for obligate carnivores.
- Lower fish content: Salmon and shrimp are present in small amounts (4% and dehydrated form).
- Moderate fat content: 14% crude fat may not be suitable for cats needing lower-calorie diets.
- Added sodium: 0.6% sodium content may not be ideal for cats requiring low-sodium diets.
- Use of hydrolyzed chicken protein: While improving digestibility, hydrolyzed proteins are more processed than whole meat sources.

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.
