Product Summary

Profine Original Adult Chicken is a natural chicken and rice formula crafted for adult cats, featuring 40% chicken (25% chicken meal, 15% dried chicken) as the primary protein source.

Enriched with rice (20%) and chicken fat (8%), it provides a balanced energy source while being gentle on the digestive system.

Key additives such as fructo-oligosaccharides and mannan-oligosaccharides from chicory root support intestinal health and overall digestion.

The inclusion of salmon oil (2%) and omega-6 fatty acids (1.8%) promotes a healthy coat and skin condition.

This formula, supplemented with taurine (2,000 mg/kg), supports cardiovascular and vision health and ensures essential nutrients for adult cats.

 

Pros:

  • High protein content: Contains 34% crude protein, supporting muscle maintenance and overall vitality.
  • Digestive support: Chicory root-derived prebiotics (MOS and FOS) enhance gut flora and promote smooth digestion.
  • Skin and coat health: Includes salmon oil and omega-6 fatty acids for a shiny coat and healthy skin.
  • Taurine enrichment: Provides 2,000 mg/kg taurine to maintain heart health and proper vision.
  • Natural herbal blend: It contains fennel, basil, and sage, which may offer antioxidant benefits and support general wellness.

 

Cons:

  • Moderate fat level: At 15%, the fat content may not suit cats with weight management needs.
  • Grain inclusion: Contains maize and rice, which might not be suitable for grain-sensitive cats.
  • Low omega-3 content: Omega-3 fatty acids are relatively low at 0.20%, which may limit anti-inflammatory benefits.
  • No targeted urinary health support: Lacks features specifically designed for urinary tract health.
  • Limited flavor variety: Predominantly chicken-based, which may not cater to cats preferring diverse protein 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.
