Summary
Royal Canin Indoor 27 is a dry cat food specifically formulated for adult indoor cats with lower activity levels.
The primary protein source is dehydrated poultry proteins, selected for their high digestibility (L.I.P.), which supports muscle maintenance and reduces stool volume and odour.
Rice, wheat, and maize are carbohydrate sources, providing balanced energy while supporting digestive health.
Animal fats and fish oil contribute to the 13% crude fat content, offering essential fatty acids for skin and coat health.
Psyllium husks and seeds (0.5%) and beet pulp promote intestinal transit and help reduce hairball formation, supporting digestive comfort.
Fructo-oligosaccharides and yeasts enhance gut health by encouraging beneficial bacteria and improving nutrient absorption.
The formula also supports urinary tract health with a balanced mineral profile, helping maintain a healthy urinary system in less active indoor cats.
Guaranteed analysis includes 27% crude protein and 13% crude fat, aligning calorie intake with indoor cats’ reduced activity levels.
Pros:
Highly digestible protein: Contains 27% crude protein from selected L.I.P. sources, supporting muscle maintenance and reducing stool odour.
Hairball control: Includes psyllium and vegetable fibres to help reduce hairball formation by promoting intestinal transit.
Moderate fat content: At 13%, it is designed to meet the lower energy needs of indoor cats and help maintain a healthy weight.
Urinary health support: Balanced mineral levels support the urinary system, reducing the risk of urinary issues.
Cons:
High grain content: Contains wheat, maize, and rice, which may not be suitable for cats with grain sensitivities.
Lower protein content: At 27%, the protein level is moderate and may not fully meet the needs of more active or muscular cats.
Use of by-products: Dehydrated poultry proteins and hydrolysed animal proteins may be of varying quality compared to whole meat sources.
Moderate ash content: Crude ash at 7.7% may require consideration for cats with urinary or renal sensitivities.

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.
