Purina Beyond
Simply Indoor Cat Grain Free Wild-Caught Salmon, Egg & Sweet Potato Recipe
Summary
Purina Beyond Simply Indoor Cat Grain Free Wild-Caught Salmon, Egg & Sweet Potato Recipe is a dry cat food designed for indoor adult cats, addressing their weight management, digestion, and immune health needs.
The first ingredient is wild-caught salmon, a high-quality protein source that provides essential amino acids for muscle maintenance.
Additional animal proteins come from chicken meal and dried egg product, enhancing the overall protein profile of the formula.
The grain-free recipe relies on pea starch, cassava root flour, and dried sweet potatoes as carbohydrate sources, offering digestible energy while supporting a controlled calorie intake.
Natural fiber sources such as powdered cellulose and pea fiber contribute to hairball control and digestive health, which are crucial for indoor cats with lower activity levels.
The formula is enriched with Bacillus coagulans (600 million CFU/lb), a probiotic strain that helps maintain a healthy gut microbiome and supports immune function.
A blend of essential vitamins and minerals, including Vitamin E (150 IU/kg), Zinc (150 ppm), and Selenium (0.35 ppm), provides antioxidant protection and promotes healthy skin and coat.
The recipe is free from corn, wheat, soy, poultry by-product meal, and artificial additives, making it suitable for cats with sensitive digestion or grain intolerances.
Pros:
High-protein formula: 33% crude protein from wild-caught salmon, chicken meal, and dried egg product provides essential amino acids for muscle maintenance and overall health.
Supports digestive health: It contains natural probiotics (600 million CFU/lb) and added fiber to promote gut balance, nutrient absorption, and hairball reduction.
Weight management: 10% crude fat, 10% lower than Beyond Simply White Meat Chicken & Whole Oat Meal Recipe, helps control calorie intake for indoor cats.
Skin and coat support: Rich in omega fatty acids, Vitamin E, and zinc, which contribute to healthy skin and a shiny coat.
Free from artificial additives: No corn, wheat, soy, poultry by-product meal, artificial flavors, colors, or preservatives, making it suitable for sensitive cats.
Cons:
Moderate fat content: While lower than some formulas, crude fat can reach 12.5%, which may still be too high for cats on a strict weight-control diet.
Higher carbohydrate inclusion: Contains pea starch, cassava root flour, and sweet potatoes, which contribute to overall carbohydrate content.
Use of plant-based proteins: Includes canola meal and pea protein, which are less bioavailable than animal-based proteins.
Limited meat variety: Only salmon and chicken meal are used, which may not be ideal for cats needing a more diverse animal protein profile.

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.
