Summary
Regal Kitten Recipe is a dry food formulated for kittens. It focuses on balanced growth with high-quality meat, fat, and grain sources.
The main protein source is chicken meal, supported by dried eggs, whitefish meal, herring meal, and pea protein. Combining animal and plant proteins achieves 33% crude protein.
Chicken fat and menhaden fish oil contribute to a high crude fat content of 21%, supporting kittens’ elevated energy requirements and essential fatty acid needs.
Natural sources of DHA (0.15%) and omega-3 (1.0%) from fish oil and flaxseed aid in neurological development and skin health.
The recipe includes prebiotics and probiotics such as beet pulp and Lactobacillus acidophilus (10 million CFU/lb) to support digestion and immunity.
Calcium (1.5%) and phosphorus (1.1%) are balanced to promote healthy bone development during rapid growth phases.
The ash content is 7.7%, with a moisture level of 10% and metabolizable energy tailored for kittens’ developmental needs.
Glucosamine (400 ppm) is included for joint support, a rare but beneficial addition in kitten formulas.
Pros:
Diverse protein sources: Chicken meal, whitefish, herring, and eggs provide a range of amino acids and 33% total crude protein.
High fat for energy needs: 21% crude fat supplies essential calories and fatty acids for healthy growth and play.
Brain and coat health: DHA (0.15%) and omega-3s (1.0%) from marine sources support neurological development and skin health.
Digestive support: This supplement contains beet pulp, probiotics, and prebiotic fibers to encourage a stable gut microbiome in developing kittens.
Joint health support: Glucosamine (400 ppm) is added to support developing joints, a rare feature in kitten-specific formulas.
Cons:
High ash content: 7.7% ash suggests a high mineral load, which could raise concerns for renal health in long-term feeding.
Includes plant protein: Pea protein contributes to the total protein content, which may dilute amino acid availability compared to all-animal sources.
No fresh meat ingredients: The formula relies entirely on rendered meals rather than fresh meats, which could potentially affect palatability.
Grain-inclusive formula: Includes brown rice and millet, which may not suit kittens with grain sensitivities.
Moderate magnesium: At 0.11%, magnesium is within standard range but may be slightly high for urinary-sensitive kittens.

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.
