Product Summary

Prolife Sterilized Mature Beef & Rice is a complete diet formulated for senior and sterilized cats, catering to their unique nutritional needs.

The recipe includes 32% fresh boneless beef as the primary protein source, complemented by rice (20.7%) and white sorghum for digestible energy.

Enriched with glucosamine and chondroitin, it supports joint health, which is crucial for aging cats.

The formula features omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which promote a healthy coat and skin, while L-carnitine aids in maintaining an optimal weight.

A blend of antioxidants, vitamins, and blueberry extract enhances immune support and overall vitality.

 

Pros:

  • High-quality protein: Contains 32% protein derived mainly from fresh boneless beef, supporting muscle maintenance in senior cats.
  • Joint support: Includes glucosamine (0.037%) and chondroitin sulfate (0.026%) for improved joint health and mobility.
  • Omega fatty acids: Balanced levels of Omega 3 (0.17%) and Omega 6 (1.95%) enhance skin health and a shiny coat.
  • Weight management: L-carnitine (500 mg/kg) helps in fat metabolism and weight control.
  • Digestive health: Chicory inulin (FOS) and beet pulp promote healthy gut flora and improved digestion.

 

Cons:

  • Moderate fiber: Crude fiber at 3.5% may not suit cats requiring a lower-fiber diet for specific conditions.
  • Higher fat content: At 14%, the fat level may not be ideal for overweight senior cats.
  • Grain inclusion: Contains rice and sorghum, which may not appeal to cats with grain sensitivities.
  • Limited Omega 3: The Omega 3 level of 0.17% might be insufficient for cats needing higher anti-inflammatory support.
  • Sodium content: Sodium at 0.25% might not suit cats on restricted sodium diets.

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.
