Royal Canin
Fussy (formerly Savour, Aroma and Protein Exigent)
Summary
Royal Canin Fussy (formerly Savour, Aroma and Protein Exigent) is a dry adult cat food aimed at selective eaters, combining high-protein nutrition with ingredients that enhance aroma and taste to encourage intake.
The first ingredient, dehydrated poultry proteins, provides a concentrated source of animal protein to support lean muscle maintenance in adult cats.
At 40% crude protein and 17.5% fat, the formula delivers a protein-forward macronutrient profile that supports daily energy needs and muscular condition.
Carbohydrates are listed at 24.5 and come from maize flour, wheat flour, and rice, supplying readily available energy and helping form a consistent kibble structure.
Animal fats contribute dense energy and essential fatty acids while enhancing palatability—an advantage for fussy appetites.
Hydrolysed animal proteins and yeast products further boost flavor and aroma, helping entice picky cats to eat regularly.
Beet pulp adds functional fiber that can help with stool quality, although the overall crude fiber is low at 1%.
The formula’s mineral content is reflected by a crude ash value of 7, indicating the total minerals present.
Vitamin A (13300) and vitamin D3 (700) are included to support vision, skin, and calcium metabolism, which are essential for adult maintenance.
Metabolizable energy is listed as 4175, indicating a concentrated energy density consistent with a nutrient-dense adult diet.

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.
