Product Summary

Hill’s Science Plan Sterilised Adult Cat Food with Tuna is a specialized dry food designed to support the health and vitality of sterilised adult cats aged 1 to 6 years.

The formula includes 5% tuna meal and chicken and turkey meal, providing high-quality, easily digestible proteins to maintain lean muscle mass.

Enriched with L-carnitine (531 mg/kg) and L-lysine (1.8%), it supports metabolism, weight control, and energy levels in sterilised cats.

Balanced mineral levels, including calcium (0.81%) and phosphorus (0.74%), promote urinary tract health by helping to maintain optimal urinary pH.

The recipe is rich in omega-6 (2.7%) and omega-3 (0.44%) fatty acids, along with vitamin E (566 mg/kg), which enhances skin health and promotes a shiny coat.

 

Pros:

  • Weight Management: Low fat (11.6%) and added L-carnitine aid in weight control, ideal for less active sterilised cats.
  • Urinary Health: Balanced minerals help maintain a healthy urinary system, reducing the risk of crystal formation.
  • Muscle Maintenance: High-quality protein (31.6%) from tuna, chicken, and turkey supports lean muscle mass.
  • Skin and Coat Benefits: Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, along with vitamin E, promote healthy skin and a glossy coat.
  • Antioxidant Support: Includes beta-carotene and vitamins C and E, strengthening the immune system and reducing oxidative stress.

 

Cons:

  • Grain Inclusion: This product contains wheat, maize, and rice, which may not suit cats with grain sensitivities or allergies.
  • Low Fiber Content: Crude fiber at 1.1% may not adequately address hairball prevention, especially in long-haired or indoor cats.
  • Moderate Fat Content: While suitable for weight management, it may not provide enough energy for highly active cats.
  • Tuna Content: Only 5% tuna meal may be less appealing for cats preferring stronger fish-based flavors.

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.
