Summary

Sanabelle Sterilized is a dry cat food specifically formulated for adult cats aged 12 months and older who have been neutered or spayed, addressing their unique metabolic and nutritional needs.
The first ingredient is fresh poultry meat, providing a high-quality, digestible animal protein source that supports lean muscle maintenance while being gentle on sensitive digestive systems.
With 29% crude protein and 9.5% fat, the formula offers a moderate energy profile tailored to the reduced caloric needs of sterilized cats, helping to prevent weight gain.
A fiber content of 5.5%, derived from cellulose, pea fiber, and beet pulp, promotes satiety and supports healthy digestion, reducing the likelihood of overeating.
The inclusion of dried potato and potato starch as carbohydrate sources makes the recipe grain-free, which may benefit cats with cereal sensitivities or intolerances.
Reduced levels of calcium (1.2%), phosphorus (1.1%), and magnesium (0.08%) help support urinary tract health by minimizing the risk of crystal formation and urinary discomfort, which are more common in sterilized cats.
Animal-derived ingredients make up 51.3% of the formula, with 88.5% of the total protein coming from animal sources, ensuring a biologically appropriate amino acid profile for feline health.
Functional ingredients such as salmon oil, linseed, and dried green-lipped mussels contribute omega fatty acids and joint-supportive nutrients, although specific omega-3 and omega-6 levels are not disclosed.
Added taurine (2,000 mg/kg) supports heart and eye health, while a comprehensive vitamin and trace mineral profile, including vitamin E (150 mg/kg) and zinc chelate, helps maintain immune function and skin integrity.
Natural additives like cranberries, chicory, and yucca offer antioxidant and digestive benefits, enhancing overall wellness in sterilized cats.

Pros
Expand All
1

High animal protein proportion

88.5% of total protein is from animal sources, supporting muscle maintenance and optimal amino acid intake.
2

Urinary tract support

Reduced calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium levels help lower the risk of urinary crystal formation in sterilized cats.
3

Grain-free formulation

Uses potato and pea starch instead of cereals, making it suitable for cats with grain sensitivities.
4

Digestive fiber blend

Cellulose, beet pulp, and pea fiber promote satiety and support gastrointestinal health.
5

Functional botanicals and supplements

Ingredients like green-lipped mussels, cranberries, and yucca provide joint, urinary, and digestive support.
6

Balanced energy density

3383 kcal/kg with moderate fat content helps manage weight in less active, sterilized cats.
Cons
Expand All
1

Undisclosed omega fatty acid levels

While sources like salmon oil and linseed are included, the actual omega-3 and omega-6 content is not specified.
2

Moderate ash content

At 7%, the ash level may be a concern for cats with kidney or urinary sensitivities.
3

Use of multiple starches

Potato starch and pea starch increase carbohydrate content to 39%, which may not align with low-carb feeding preferences.
4

Presence of rendered ingredients

Ingredients like greaves and fish meal are less premium and may be less digestible for some cats.
5

Technological additives not detailed

The antioxidant additive is not specified, limiting transparency for owners concerned about synthetic preservatives.

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.
