Product Summary

REAL NATURE WILDERNESS – Northern Turkey Adult is a grain-free dry cat food inspired by the ancestral diet of wild cats.

The formula’s primary protein sources are fresh turkey meat (31%), fresh chicken liver (2%), and chicken and turkey proteins.

It is made with 70% animal ingredients, 30% fruits, vegetables, and wholesome components, with potatoes as the carbohydrate source.

The food contains a protein content of 38% and a fat content of 18%, providing balanced nutrition for adult cats.

Linseed and sunflower oil contribute essential omega fatty acids, and the food is free from artificial preservatives, flavors, or colors.

 

Pros:

  • High-Protein Formula: Contains 38% protein, primarily from fresh turkey, chicken protein, and fresh chicken liver, supporting muscle health.
  • Grain-Free Composition: Free from cereals, using potatoes and potato starch as digestible carbohydrate sources, ideal for grain-sensitive cats.
  • Rich in Healthy Fats: Includes chicken fat, linseed, and sunflower oil for skin and coat health through omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids.
  • Natural Ingredients: Contains a variety of fruits, vegetables, and herbs like spinach, rosemary, and nettles, offering antioxidants and nutrients.
  • Taurine Fortification: Provides taurine (2200 mg/kg), essential for heart health, vision, and overall vitality.

 

Cons:

  • Moderate Ash Content: The crude ash level of 7.7% may not be suitable for cats with urinary health concerns.
  • Plant Protein Contribution: Potato protein and linseed may provide less bioavailable protein compared to animal sources.
  • Lower Fat for Active Cats: The 18% fat content might not meet the energy needs of very active cats.
  • Presence of Hydrolyzed Protein: Hydrolyzed chicken protein is less desirable than whole or fresh meat.

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.
