Summary

Rachael Ray Nutrish Real Salmon & Brown Rice Recipe is a dry cat food formulated for adult cats.

It features real salmon as the primary ingredient to support muscle maintenance and overall health.

This recipe includes brown rice, a digestible carbohydrate source, and a blend of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids to promote a healthy coat.

Additionally, antioxidants from ingredients like carrots contribute to overall wellness.

 

Pros:

  • High Protein Content: Contains 34% crude protein, primarily from real salmon and fish meal, supporting lean muscle development.
  • Omega Fatty Acids: Includes omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which contribute to a healthy skin and coat.
  • Antioxidant-Rich: Contains antioxidants from ingredients like carrots, which support immune health.

 

Cons:

  • Fat Content: Its 14% crude fat content may be high for less active cats, potentially leading to weight gain.
  • Grain Inclusion: Contains corn protein concentrate, which might not suit cats with grain sensitivities.
  • Plant-Based Ingredients: This includes dried peas and beet pulp, which are less optimal protein sources for cats than animal-based proteins.

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.
