Product Summary

Simba Adult Cat Kibbles with Beef is a complete and balanced dry food designed to meet the daily nutritional needs of adult cats.

Formulated with beef (5%), it provides an animal protein source to support muscle maintenance and overall health.

The recipe is enriched with vitamins A, D3, and E to enhance immunity, bone strength, and cellular health.

Free from artificial colors and preservatives, it offers a natural meal option for your cat.

Crude protein content is 26%, with 11% fat to provide energy for moderately active adult cats.

The inclusion of yeasts and minerals supports digestion and overall well-being.

With a metabolizable energy of 3835 kcal/kg, it provides a calorie-dense option for balanced nutrition.

 

Pros:

  • Enriched with vitamins: Includes vitamins A, D3, and E to support immune health, bones, and skin.
  • No artificial additives: Free from artificial colors and preservatives for a more natural diet.
  • Balanced nutrition: This diet provides essential nutrients for adult cats, with protein (26%) and fat (11%).
  • Digestive support: Yeasts and minerals promote gastrointestinal health and nutrient absorption.

 

Cons:

  • Low beef content: Beef comprises only 5%, which may not satisfy owners seeking a higher meat proportion.
  • High crude ash: At 8.5%, the mineral content is relatively high, which may be a concern for cats with kidney issues.
  • Cereal-heavy formula: Cereals are the primary ingredient, which may not align with the nutritional needs of obligate carnivores.

Notes

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.

Ingredients in this food are listed as categories rather than specific named products. This EU permitted method doesn’t allow me a proper evaluation of the food since I usually don’t have any indication of the real quality of ingredients in each listed category. Therefore I evaluate each such category as the corresponding ingredient of the worst quality: cereals = corn, meat and meat derivatives = partial by-product + unknown source of the meat, oils and fats = unknown source of the fat.

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.
