Summary

Purina Beyond Simply Grain-Free Wild-Caught Whitefish & Cage-Free Egg Recipe is a dry cat food formulated for adult cats, focusing on high-quality protein and digestive health.

The primary ingredient is wild-caught whitefish, providing essential amino acids for muscle maintenance.

Additional animal proteins from chicken meal and dried egg product enhance the protein content.

The grain-free formula utilizes cassava root flour, pea starch, and dried sweet potatoes as carbohydrate sources, offering digestible energy.

Natural fiber sources, including pea fiber, support digestive health and aid in hairball control.

The inclusion of Bacillus coagulans (600 million CFU/lb) serves as a probiotic to maintain a healthy gut microbiome.

A blend of essential vitamins and minerals, such as Vitamin E (150 IU/kg), Zinc (150 mg/kg), and Selenium (0.35 mg/kg), promotes immune function and skin health.

The recipe excludes corn, wheat, soy, poultry by-product meal, and artificial additives, catering to cats with dietary sensitivities.

Pros:

  • High protein content: 35% crude protein from quality sources supports muscle maintenance and overall health.

  • Digestive support: Natural probiotics and added fiber enhance gut health and aid digestion.

  • Skin and coat health: Rich in omega fatty acids and essential nutrients to promote healthy skin and a shiny coat.

  • Free from common allergens: Excludes corn, wheat, soy, and artificial additives, suitable for sensitive cats.

Cons:

  • Moderate fat content: 14% crude fat may be higher than desired for cats on a strict weight management plan.

  • Plant-based proteins present: Ingredients like pea protein and canola meal are less bioavailable than animal-based proteins.

  • Limited protein variety: Primary proteins are whitefish and chicken meal, which may not suit cats requiring diverse protein sources.

  • Carbohydrate sources, including Cassava root flour and pea starch, contribute to the carbohydrate content, which some owners may prefer to minimize.

    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.
