Summary

Reflex Adult Cat Food with Chicken & Rice is a complete, balanced dry formula for adult cats designed to support everyday health for both indoor and outdoor lifestyles.
Processed chicken proteins are the first ingredient, making chicken the primary protein source to help maintain lean muscle and overall vitality in adult cats.
At 32% crude protein and 14% fat, the macronutrient profile aligns with typical adult maintenance needs, offering sustained energy without excessive calories.
Corn and rice provide digestible carbohydrates for energy, while fiber sources like beet pulp and wheat bran help support stool quality and regularity.
Chicken fat and flaxseed supply omega-6 and plant-based omega-3 fatty acids that help maintain healthy skin and a shiny coat, with omega-3s also supporting cognitive function.
Prebiotic mannan-oligosaccharides (MOS), brewer’s yeast (a source of beta-glucans), and the yeast-based CitriStim are included to support a healthy gut microbiota and immune responsiveness.
Yucca schidigera is added to help reduce fecal odor and ammonia, which can improve litter box comfort.
Taurine (listed at 1500 mg) supports normal heart function, vision, and reproductive health in adult cats.
A targeted micronutrient package—vitamin A 18,000 IU/kg, vitamin D3 1,500 IU/kg, vitamin E 200 mg/kg, vitamin C 400 mg/kg, plus iron, zinc, copper, manganese, iodine, selenium, and choline—supports immunity, skin integrity, bone metabolism, and antioxidant defenses.
Whey powder contributes additional proteins and bioactive components that can complement muscle maintenance and immune support.

Pros
Expand All
1

Animal protein first

Processed chicken proteins lead the ingredient list, providing the primary amino acids needed for muscle maintenance in adult cats.
2

Adult-appropriate macros

32% protein and 14% fat offer a balanced energy profile to sustain daily activity while supporting lean body mass.
3

Omega support for skin and coat

Chicken fat and flaxseed supply essential fatty acids that help maintain skin barrier function, coat shine, and overall dermal health.
4

Gut and immune support

MOS, brewer’s yeast (beta-glucans), and CitriStim work together to promote beneficial gut bacteria and support immune readiness.
5

Taurine included

Taurine (1500 mg listed) supports cardiac health, vision, and neuromuscular function—critical nutrients for all cats.
6

Defined antioxidant and vitamin support

Vitamin A, D3, E, and C, along with essential trace minerals, contribute to immune function, bone health, and oxidative stress control.
Cons
Expand All
1

Grain-heavy formulation

Multiple cereals (corn, rice, wheat bran) increase carbohydrate contribution, which may not align with low-carb or grain-free preferences.
2

Plant protein concentrate present

Corn gluten can shift part of the protein supply toward plant sources, which are naturally lower in certain amino acids than animal proteins.
3

Limited marine omega-3s

Omega-3s appear to come primarily from flaxseed (ALA); without fish oil, direct EPA/DHA intake is likely modest.
4

Moderate-high ash level

At 8% crude ash, the mineral density is notable and may warrant individualized guidance for cats with urinary sensitivities.
5

Calorie data not listed

Metabolizable energy (kcal) is not provided, making precise portion planning more challenging.

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.
