Product Summary

Prolife Exigent Adult Salmon, Trout, Sturgeon & Potato is a premium, complete diet designed for adult cats with selective palates.

It features fresh boneless salmon (20%), trout (10%), and sturgeon (10%), combined with potatoes and rice, for a balanced and palatable meal.

The recipe includes hydrolyzed animal proteins for digestibility and brewer’s yeast to support gut health.

It is rich in Omega-3 (1.9%) and Omega-6 (2.9%) fatty acids, which promote a glossy coat and healthy skin.

This grain-free formula also incorporates prebiotic FOS and Arbocel® cellulose for enhanced digestive health.

A high protein content of 38% ensures muscle maintenance and overall vitality.

 

Pros:

  • Protein-rich: Contains 38% crude protein derived from high-quality fresh fish and dehydrated meats.
  • Omega-rich: High levels of Omega-3 (1.9%) and Omega-6 (2.9%) fatty acids support a shiny coat and healthy skin.
  • Digestive support: Includes prebiotics (FOS) and Arbocel® cellulose to improve gut health and nutrient absorption.
  • Balanced minerals: This supplement provides calcium (1.7%) and phosphorus (1.3%) in optimal ratios to support bone health.
  • Palatability: Combines fresh boneless salmon, trout, and sturgeon to appeal to cats with selective appetites.

 

Cons:

  • Moderate fiber: The crude fiber content (2%) may not be sufficient for cats who need additional hairball control.
  • Limited carbohydrate variety: This relies primarily on potatoes and rice, which might not suit cats with specific dietary restrictions.
  • Taurine content: Supplies 590 mg/kg taurine, which is lower than some competitive formulas for supporting heart and eye health.

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.
