Summary

Sanabelle Grande chicken & cranberries is a dry cat food formulated specifically for adult cats over 12 months of age, particularly those of larger breeds or with a strong bite.

The first ingredient, fresh chicken meat, provides a highly digestible source of animal protein that supports muscle maintenance and organ function in active or larger-bodied cats.

With 31% crude protein and 19% fat, the formula delivers a nutrient-dense profile suitable for cats with higher energy needs while also supporting healthy skin and coat through fat-soluble vitamins and essential fatty acids.

The kibble is designed in an extra-large, crunchy format to encourage slower chewing, which aids in mechanical dental cleaning and reduces the risk of overeating.

Animal-derived ingredients make up 41.1% of the formula, with 79.25% of the total protein coming from animal sources, ensuring a biologically appropriate amino acid profile for obligate carnivores.

Functional ingredients like dried cranberries, blueberries, and marigold blossoms provide natural antioxidants that help protect cells from oxidative stress and support immune function.

Salmon oil contributes omega-3 fatty acids, which play a role in reducing inflammation and promoting joint and skin health—key considerations for larger cats.

The inclusion of taurine at 2,000 mg/kg supports cardiac health and vision, both critical for feline well-being.

Essential vitamins such as vitamin E (600 mg/kg) and vitamin C (400 mg/kg) offer additional antioxidant protection and immune support.

Balanced mineral levels, including calcium (1.05%), phosphorus (0.95%), and magnesium (0.08%), help maintain bone strength and urinary tract health in adult cats.

 

Pros:

  • High animal protein content: 79.25% of total protein is derived from animal sources, supporting muscle maintenance and overall health in carnivorous cats.
  • Dental health support: Extra-large, crunchy kibble encourages chewing, which helps reduce plaque buildup and supports oral hygiene.
  • Antioxidant-rich ingredients: Cranberries, blueberries, and marigold blossoms provide natural antioxidants that support immune defense and cellular health.
  • Joint and skin support: Salmon oil and a high-fat content contribute omega-3 fatty acids that promote joint flexibility and a healthy coat.
  • Comprehensive vitamin profile: High levels of vitamin E (600 mg/kg) and vitamin C (400 mg/kg) enhance immune resilience and oxidative stress protection.

 

Cons:

  • Contains grains and corn: Ingredients such as barley, corn, and rice flour may not be suitable for cats with grain sensitivities or owners seeking a grain-free diet.
  • Moderate carbohydrate content: At 30.8%, the carbohydrate level is relatively high for a carnivorous species, which may not align with low-carb feeding preferences.
  • Use of plant-based proteins: Corn protein and peas contribute to the protein total but offer lower biological value compared to animal proteins.
  • Presence of artificial additives: The formula includes unspecified antioxidants and preservatives, which may be a concern for owners seeking fully natural diets.

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.

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.
