ProSeries
Holistic Kitten
Summary
ProSeries Holistic Kitten is a dry food developed for growing kittens and pregnant or lactating cats. It features a protein-rich, grain-limited formula with functional fats and joint-support nutrients.
Chicken meal is the primary protein source, supported by fish meal and dried whole eggs, contributing to a crude protein content of 34% and supporting strong, lean muscle development.
The formula includes 20% fat from chicken and herring oil, providing DHA and EPA to support brain and retinal development during early life stages.
Ground oats and brown rice provide carbohydrates, while fruits and vegetables like cranberries, blueberries, pumpkin, and peas enhance nutrient diversity and antioxidant protection.
Prebiotics, flaxseed, and beet pulp reinforce digestive health, and the formula contains glucosamine and chondroitin for joint development and maintenance.
Taurine is included at 0.15% to support heart and eye function, and the formula avoids corn, wheat, soy, and artificial additives.
Metabolizable energy is 3800 kcal/kg (530 kcal/cup), supporting the high energy demands of growing kittens.
Pros:
High-quality protein sources: Chicken meal, fish meal, and dried eggs deliver 34% protein for growth and muscle development.
DHA and EPA rich: Herring oil provides essential fatty acids for brain and retinal development in young cats.
Joint support: Includes glucosamine and chondroitin, which are uncommon in kitten formulas and support long-term mobility.
Wholesome ingredient base: Features fruits, vegetables, and natural prebiotics to enhance immune and digestive health.
No low-quality fillers: It is free from corn, wheat, soy, and by-product meals, making it suitable for sensitive kittens.
Cons:
No fresh meat is used. All proteins are in meal form, lacking the moisture and appeal of fresh meat.
Moderate ash content: 8% ash may be high for kittens prone to urinary issues or needing controlled mineral intake.
High fiber: At 6%, crude fiber is elevated and may be excessive for some kittens with sensitive digestion.
Limited transparency on DHA/EPA levels: While fish oil is included, precise levels of these critical fatty acids are not disclosed.
Fat level may not suit all: 20% fat is energy-dense and ideal for active kittens, but could be high for more sedentary ones.

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.
