Rex Natural Range
Kitten Chicken & Rice
Summary
Rex Natural Range Kitten Chicken & Rice is a complete dry food developed for kittens from weaning age. Its nutritional support is also suitable for pregnant and lactating cats.
The recipe centers on chicken meal as the main protein, combined with rice, wheat, and corn to offer a carbohydrate-dense formula that supports early growth.
With 36% crude protein and 14% fat, the food delivers a high-energy profile appropriate for kittens’ rapid development and high caloric needs.
Added fishmeal, hydrolyzed chicken liver, and dried whole egg provide varied protein sources and enhance palatability and digestibility.
The inclusion of salmon oil, vitamin A, and zinc supports healthy skin and coat, while fibers from chicory and apple aid in digestion and hairball control.
Taurine (1,000 mg/kg) supports heart and vision health, while L-carnitine (100 mg/kg) assists in fat metabolism and energy utilization during growth.
Crude ash is 7.5%, with calcium at 1.35% and phosphorus at 1.15%, reflecting a mineral balance supportive of bone development.
Pros:
High protein and fat levels: 36% protein and 14% fat offer robust nutritional support for kitten growth and reproductive demands.
Multiple animal proteins: Chicken meal, hydrolyzed liver, fishmeal, and egg supply diverse and digestible protein sources.
Skin and coat care: Salmon oil, vitamin A, and zinc contribute to dermal health and coat luster during development.
Digestive and hairball support: Chicory, fibers, and apple help promote gastrointestinal function and reduce hairball buildup.
Growth-supportive nutrients: Balanced calcium (1.35%) and phosphorus (1.15%) levels aid in bone and skeletal development.
Cons:
Grain-heavy formulation: Includes wheat, rice, and corn, which may not suit kittens with grain sensitivities.
No fresh meat used: Relying on meal-based and processed animal ingredients rather than whole or fresh meat.
High ash content: 7.5% ash may indicate elevated mineral density, requiring attention for long-term kidney health.
Low omega-3 content: Omega-3 levels are not specified despite the inclusion of salmon oil, limiting clarity on anti-inflammatory benefits.
No joint support additives: Lacks glucosamine and chondroitin, often found in formulas supporting active growth.

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.
