Product Summary

REAL NATURE WILDERNESS—True Country—Adult Chicken with Fish is a grain-free dry cat food designed to mimic the natural diet of wild cats.

It focuses on high-quality animal proteins and natural ingredients.

The formula’s primary protein sources are fresh chicken meat (16%)fresh salmon (6%), and chicken protein and salmon meal.

It contains 75% animal ingredients, 25% fruits, vegetables, and herbs, and uses potatoes as a carbohydrate source.

The food emphasizes a natural, minimally processed approach, with no added preservatives, artificial colors, or flavors.

The nutritional profile is highlighted by a 39% protein content and a 19% fat content, making it suitable for active adult cats.

It includes beneficial additives such as taurine (2200 mg/kg) and natural oils for enhanced health and well-being.

Pros:

  • High-Quality Protein Sources: Contains 39% protein, primarily from animal-based ingredients, including fresh chicken and salmon for superior digestibility and amino acid profiles.
  • Grain-Free Formula: Free from cereals, using potatoes as a carbohydrate source, making it suitable for cats with grain sensitivities.
  • Natural Fats and Oils: Salmon oil and chicken fat provide essential omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids for skin and coat health.
  • Rich in Natural Ingredients: Includes apples, spinach, rosemary, and nettles, contributing to fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants.
  • No Artificial Additives: Free from synthetic preservatives, flavorings, and colorings, supporting a more natural diet.

Cons:

  • Moderate Fat Content: While 19% fat benefits active cats, it may not suit less active or overweight cats.
  • Presence of Plant-Based Ingredients: Although minimal, potato flakes and potato starch may contribute plant proteins, which are less bioavailable than animal proteins.
  • Relatively High Ash Content: At 8.5%, the crude ash level is higher, potentially indicating a high mineral load that may not suit cats with urinary health concerns.
  • Hydrolyzed Chicken Protein: While it may improve digestibility, it 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.
Points are added or removed based on the score calculation rules.
