Summary

Purina ONE Sterilcat Salmon is a dry cat food formulated for adult sterilized cats, designed to support their unique metabolic needs and maintain lean body mass.
The first ingredient is salmon, including head, bones, and meat, which provides a natural source of high-quality animal protein and essential fatty acids to support muscle maintenance and skin health.
With a crude protein content of 37% and fat at 13%, the formula offers a high-protein, moderate-fat profile that helps maintain lean muscle while supporting energy needs in sterilized cats, who are prone to weight gain.
Dehydrated poultry and fish proteins further enhance the amino acid profile, contributing to tissue repair and overall vitality.
Chicory root and beet pulp serve as prebiotic fiber sources, promoting digestive health and supporting beneficial gut bacteria.
The inclusion of heat-treated Lactobacillus delbrueckii and Lactobacillus fermentum provides probiotic support, which may help stabilize intestinal flora and improve nutrient absorption.
Essential vitamins such as vitamin A (36,960 IU/kg), vitamin E (460 IU/kg), and vitamin C (140 mg/kg) contribute to immune function, antioxidant defense, and cellular health.
Omega-6 fatty acids at 2% support skin barrier function and coat condition, which is especially important for indoor cats exposed to dry environments.
Balanced mineral levels, including calcium and phosphorus both at 1.2%, help maintain bone health and support urinary tract function.
The metabolizable energy of 3,632 kcal/kg provides a controlled energy density suitable for weight maintenance in less active or neutered cats.

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.
