ProSeries
Holistic Weight Management
Summary
ProSeries Holistic Weight Management is a grain-inclusive, low-fat dry cat food for senior or less active cats requiring controlled energy intake and digestive support.
Chicken meal and fish meal are the primary proteins, supported by dried eggs and chicken liver, which contribute 30% crude protein for lean muscle retention.
Fat content is reduced to 9%, sourced from chicken fat and infused fish oils, aiding in calorie control while maintaining coat and skin health through omega-6 fatty acids.
Barley and brown rice serve as the main carbohydrate sources, while dried beet pulp, flaxseed, and pumpkin provide fiber to support digestion and hairball reduction.
Functional inclusions like glucosamine and chondroitin support joint health, and DL-methionine helps promote urinary health by supporting proper pH balance.
Taurine (0.15%) and antioxidants from fruits like cranberries and blueberries support vision, immunity, and urinary tract wellness.
Crude ash is 9%, indicating a relatively high mineral content, and the metabolizable energy is 3,230 kcal/kg, suitable for calorie-conscious feeding.
Pros:
Weight-supportive formulation: 9% fat and 3,230 kcal/kg energy density help manage weight in inactive or senior cats.
Joint protection: Glucosamine and chondroitin are included to help maintain mobility in aging cats.
Balanced protein sources: 30% protein from chicken, fish, and eggs supports lean mass preservation during calorie restriction.
Digestive and hairball support: Beet pulp, flaxseed, and added fibers promote gastrointestinal health and reduce hairball risk.
Urinary and skin health benefits: DL-methionine supports urinary function; omega-6s nourish the skin and coat.
Cons:
High ash content: At 9%, mineral density is elevated, which may not suit cats with renal sensitivity or urinary concerns.
Grain-inclusive: Contains barley and rice, which may not be ideal for grain-sensitive cats despite their digestibility.
No fresh meat ingredients: Uses rendered protein sources exclusively, which may affect palatability and moisture content.
Low omega-3 detail: Omega-3 levels are not specified, limiting transparency on anti-inflammatory benefits.
No DHA or EPA breakdown: Fish oil is included but lacks quantified DHA/EPA values important for senior cognitive support.

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.
