Product Summary

Sanabelle Sterilized is a grain-free dry cat food formulated for neutered adult cats prone to weight gain. It features 20% fresh poultry meat and 5% fresh liver, providing a high proportion of animal-based protein. Its reduced protein and mineral content helps support kidney and urinary health, while the higher crude fiber (5.5%) aids in weight control by promoting satiety.

 

Pros:

  • Contains 20% fresh poultry meat and 5% fresh liver for quality animal-based protein.
  • A grain-free formula with potatoes, making it suitable for grain-sensitive cats.
  • High fiber content (5.5%) aids in weight management and satiety.

 

Cons:

  • The fat content is relatively low (9.5%), which may not be suitable for more active cats.
  • Crude ash content is 6.8%, which might be slightly higher than desired for some.
  • Limited variety of protein sources, relying heavily on poultry, which may not suit all cats’ preferences.

Notes

The score is calculated after relocation of fresh meat or fish ingredient(s) as explained in the calculation rule #7 in Chapter 1.

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.
