Summary
Royal Canin Hairball Care is a dry complete food designed for adult cats that frequently groom and are prone to hairball formation.
It uses dehydrated poultry protein as the main ingredient, providing a digestible and concentrated source of animal protein.
The formula contains 34% crude protein and 15% fat, supporting energy needs while maintaining lean body mass.
A blend of insoluble fibers, beet pulp, and 0.5% psyllium husks and seeds achieves a total fiber content of 15.2%, aiding hair transit.
The blend helps move swallowed hair through the digestive system, reducing hairball buildup and regurgitation.
The food also includes prebiotics like fructo-oligosaccharides to support digestive health and nutrient absorption.
Fatty acids from fish oil and soy oil contribute to skin and coat health, which may reduce shedding and hair ingestion.
Minerals are balanced to support urinary tract health, helping maintain an optimal urinary environment in adult cats.

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.
