Summary

Shelma Sterilised Rich in Fresh Salmon is a grain-free dry cat food for sterilised cats.

It provides tailored nutrition to support their specific needs.

This recipe features 25% fresh salmon, which delivers 72% of its protein from animal sources, promoting muscle maintenance and overall health.

Grain-free carbohydrates like potatoes and peas ensure energy provision while minimizing potential allergens.

Balanced minerals, including magnesium and sodium, support urinary tract health and help prevent related issues.

Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, sourced from salmon oil, enhance skin health and promote a shiny coat.

Beet pulp and chicory fiber, a source of FOS, foster optimal digestion and balanced intestinal flora.

Natural antioxidants from spirulina, buckthorn, and herbs such as rosemary, thyme, and parsley bolster immune function and overall vitality.

 

Pros:

  • High protein content: Contains 38% crude protein, predominantly sourced from fresh salmon and other animal ingredients, promoting muscle development.
  • Supports digestion: Includes prebiotic chicory fiber and beet pulp to maintain intestinal health and flora balance.
  • Urinary health optimization: Balanced minerals help maintain a healthy urinary tract in sterilised cats.
  • Enhances coat condition: Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids improve skin health and contribute to a shiny coat.
  • Immune system support: Enriched with spirulina, buckthorn, and natural herbs for antioxidant protection and enhanced immunity.
  • Grain and gluten-free: Formulated without grains or gluten, catering to cats with grain sensitivities.

 

Cons:

  • Moderate fat content: At 13%, portion control may be necessary for cats with reduced activity levels to prevent weight gain.
  • Inclusion of poultry derivatives: Cats with allergies or sensitivities to poultry proteins may not tolerate this recipe.
  • Limited fiber: Contains 3% crude fiber, which might not be sufficient for managing hairballs in long-haired breeds.

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.
