Summary
Royal Canin Ageing 12+ is a dry cat food specifically formulated for senior cats over 12 years of age to address their changing nutritional needs.
The primary animal protein source is dehydrated poultry proteins, which are easily digestible and support muscle maintenance in ageing cats.
Wheat gluten, precooked wheat flour, rice, and maize are carbohydrates that offer controlled energy release and support digestive health.
Animal fats and fish oil contribute to a high-fat content (19%), supplying energy and supporting skin and coat health with omega-3 fatty acids (1.12%).
The formula includes a complex of antioxidants, including lycopene (8 mg/kg) and beta-carotene, to help limit the effects of ageing on cognitive function and oxidative stress.
Chicory pulp, psyllium husks, and manno-oligosaccharides promote digestive health and nutrient absorption in senior cats.
The moderate phosphorus content (0.6%) and balanced mineral profile help support renal health and reduce the risk of urinary tract issues.
The kibble is designed with a double texture—crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside—to stimulate appetite in cats with reduced taste and smell.

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.
