Summary

Royal Canin – Pure Feline n.03 Lively is a dry cat food formulated to support the vitality and energy needs of active adult cats, whether they live indoors or outdoors.
The first ingredient, dehydrated poultry meat, provides a concentrated source of high-quality animal protein, essential for maintaining lean muscle mass and supporting daily activity levels.
With a high protein content of 35% and fat at 20%, this formula delivers a dense energy profile suitable for cats with higher caloric needs or active lifestyles.
Tomato powder, included at 1%, is a natural source of lycopene, a potent antioxidant that helps neutralize free radicals and supports skin health and cellular protection.
Marigold extract, rich in lutein, contributes additional antioxidant support, helping to slow cellular aging and maintain eye and skin health.
Dehydrated fish and fish oil provide omega fatty acids that support a healthy coat and skin barrier, although specific omega-3 and omega-6 levels are not disclosed.
Chicory pulp serves as a prebiotic fiber source, promoting digestive health and supporting beneficial gut bacteria.
Hydrolyzed crustaceans and cartilage supply glucosamine and chondroitin, which may help maintain joint health in active or aging cats.
Added vitamins and trace minerals, including vitamin A, D3, zinc, and selenium, support immune function, bone health, and antioxidant defense.
The metabolizable energy of 4229 kcal/kg reflects the formula’s high energy density, making it suitable for cats with elevated energy demands.

Cons
Expand All
1

High carbohydrate content

At 30.8%, the carbohydrate level is relatively high for a carnivorous species, which may not align with low-carb feeding preferences.
2

Use of multiple grains

Ingredients like wheat, corn, and rice may not be suitable for cats with grain sensitivities or owners seeking grain-free options.
3

Undisclosed mineral levels

Key urinary health minerals such as phosphorus and magnesium are not specified, limiting assessment of urinary safety.
4

No declared omega fatty acid levels

While fish oil and soya oil are included, the absence of quantified omega-3 and omega-6 values makes it difficult to evaluate skin and coat benefits.

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.
