Sanabelle
Senior chicken & cranberries
Summary
Sanabelle Senior chicken & cranberries is a dry formula tailored for older cats, designed to help maintain lean body condition, digestive comfort, and balanced mineral intake in the senior stage.
Fresh chicken meat (20%) is listed first, indicating chicken is the primary protein source, with additional animal proteins from dried poultry protein and dried greaves to strengthen overall amino acid supply for muscle maintenance.
At 29% crude protein and 13% fat, the macronutrient balance provides moderate protein and energy suitable for many less active seniors while supporting muscle upkeep.
The declared metabolizable energy of 3640 indicates a moderate calorie density aligned with weight maintenance needs typical of older cats.
A crude fiber level of 5% – supported by beet pulp and cellulose – offers a mix of fermentable and insoluble fibers to aid stool quality, regularity, and satiety.
Controlled minerals (calcium 1, phosphorus 0.9, magnesium 0.09, sodium 0.4, potassium 0.7) help maintain a balanced urinary mineral load, which is important for senior urinary tract care.
Vitamins A (17000), D3 (1500), and E (150) plus vitamin C (400) provide support for vision, bone metabolism, immune function, and antioxidant defense.
Animal fat contributes concentrated energy and essential fatty acids, while protein hydrolysate can enhance palatability and digestibility – useful for seniors with decreased appetite.
Barley and corn supply carbohydrates, contributing to the stated 36.1% carbohydrate level for steady energy between meals.
Although the product name mentions cranberries, this ingredient is not specified in the provided ingredients, so any cranberry-related functional benefits cannot be evaluated from the data given.

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.
