Product Summary

Royal Canin Kitten Sterilised is specially designed for sterilised kittens aged 6 to 12 months to support their unique nutritional needs during this growth phase.

The formula provides moderate fat levels to help manage weight while delivering sufficient protein, calcium, and phosphorus for healthy development.

It is enriched with omega-3 fatty acids (DHA), which support brain development and vision, and vitamins C and E, which boost the immune system.

Prebiotics like MOS and highly digestible proteins help maintain a balanced gut microbiota and improve digestive health.

The kibble’s texture supports dental health by providing a mechanical brushing effect during chewing.

 

Pros:

  • Weight management: Moderate fat content (12%) helps prevent weight gain in sterilised kittens with reduced metabolism.
  • Immune support: Enriched with vitamins C (180 mg/kg) and E (420 mg/kg) to enhance the immune system during a critical growth phase.
  • Digestive health: Contains fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) and manno-oligosaccharides (MOS) to promote gut flora balance and improve digestion.
  • Brain and vision support: Omega-3 fatty acids (0.14% DHA) aid in brain and eye development.
  • High protein content: 34% crude protein supports muscle development and overall growth.

 

Cons:

  • High fibre content: Crude fibre at 9.8% may not be suitable for kittens with sensitive digestion or low fibre tolerance.
  • Grain-inclusive formula: Contains wheat gluten, maize, and rice, which may not be ideal for kittens with grain sensitivities.
  • Limited protein sources: Relies on poultry as the main protein, which may not cater to all dietary preferences or needs.
  • Potential allergenic ingredients: These include soya oil and wheat flour, which might trigger allergies in sensitive kittens.
  • Low omega-3 content: At 0.14%, DHA levels may be lower compared to some other kitten-specific formulas.

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.
