Summary

Sanabelle No Grain chicken & blueberries is a grain-free dry food formulated for adult cats over 12 months of age, particularly those with sensitivities to grains or digestive issues.

The first ingredient is fresh chicken meat, which provides a highly digestible and palatable source of animal protein essential for maintaining lean muscle mass and supporting overall feline health.

With 31% crude protein and 15% fat, the formula offers a balanced macronutrient profile suitable for active adult cats, supporting energy needs while helping to maintain a healthy body condition.

Potato flour and potato starch replace traditional grains, offering an alternative carbohydrate source that is easier to digest for cats with grain intolerances.

Animal-derived ingredients comprise 45.7% of the formula, with 70.84% of the total protein derived from animal sources, ensuring a biologically appropriate amino acid profile for obligate carnivores.

Blueberries, cranberries, and lingonberries are included in small amounts and provide natural antioxidants that may help protect cells from oxidative stress and support immune function.

Flax seeds and salmon oil contribute essential fatty acids, which support skin health, coat shine, and anti-inflammatory balance, although specific omega-3 and omega-6 levels are not disclosed.

Added taurine at 2,000 mg/kg supports heart function, vision, and reproductive health, which is critical for all cats, especially those on dry diets.

Vitamins A, D3, E, and B-complex vitamins are included to support immune health, metabolism, and nervous system function.

Minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, and trace elements like zinc and selenium are balanced to support bone health, enzyme function, and antioxidant defense.

 

Pros:

  • Grain-free formulation: Uses potato-based carbohydrates instead of grains, making it suitable for cats with grain sensitivities or intolerances.
  • High animal protein content: 70.84% of total protein is from animal sources, supporting muscle maintenance and aligning with feline dietary needs.
  • Antioxidant-rich fruits: Blueberries, cranberries, and lingonberries provide natural antioxidants that may support immune health and cellular protection.
  • Balanced vitamin and mineral profile: Includes essential nutrients like taurine, B vitamins, and trace minerals to support overall health and metabolic function.
  • Digestive support ingredients: Beet pulp and pea fiber contribute to healthy digestion and stool quality.

 

Cons:

  • Undisclosed omega fatty acid levels: Although flaxseed and salmon oil are present, the actual omega-3 and omega-6 content is not specified, which limits the assessment of skin and coat benefits.
  • Moderate carbohydrate content: At 34.6%, the carbohydrate level is relatively high for a carnivorous species, which may not suit cats requiring lower-carb diets.
  • Use of plant-based proteins: Ingredients like potato protein and pea fiber contribute non-animal protein, which may dilute the biological value of the overall protein content.
  • Presence of greaves (rendered fat tissue): While a protein source, greaves are a lower-grade ingredient that may be less digestible or appealing to some pet owners.

Notes

The score is calculated after relocating fresh meat or fish ingredient(s), as explained in Rule 7: Quality and Location Impact of Meat Ingredients
Information about antioxidants and preservatives is missing or insufficient. Since I didn’t want to remove points due to this missing info without any proof, I evaluated this food assuming the natural preservatives were used. But note that this is just an assumption.

Provide as many details as possible about Sanabelle: No Grain chicken & blueberries so we can make it better!

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.
