Product Summary

Solid Gold’s Everyday Nutrition NutrientBoost Katz-N-Flocken Lamb & Brown Rice Recipe with Pearled Barley is a dry cat food formulated for adult cats, emphasizing gut health and immune support.

The primary ingredient is lamb, which provides a high-density protein source and is complemented by whole grains like brown rice and pearled barley.

The inclusion of superfoods such as carrots, pumpkin, blueberries, and cranberries offers additional nutritional benefits.

This recipe incorporates probiotics to aid digestion and features the NutrientBoost™ component, powered by plasma, to enhance nutrient absorption.

It is suitable for both indoor and outdoor cats.

 

Pros:

  • High Protein Content: Contains 36% crude protein, primarily sourced from lamb and chicken meal, supporting muscle maintenance and overall health.
  • Inclusion of Superfoods: Ingredients like carrots, pumpkin, blueberries, and cranberries provide antioxidants and essential nutrients, promoting overall well-being.
  • Probiotics for Digestive Health: The addition of dried fermentation products from Lactobacillus acidophilus, Enterococcus faecium, and Lactobacillus casei supports a healthy gut flora, enhancing digestion.
  • Omega Fatty Acids: Contains 0.75% Omega-3 and 1.25% Omega-6 fatty acids, contributing to healthy skin and a shiny coat.

 

Cons:

  • Moderate Fat Content: A crude fat level of 12% may not be ideal for less active cats or those prone to weight gain.
  • Presence of Plant-Based Proteins: Ingredients like pea protein and peas are included, which may be less digestible for some cats compared to animal-based proteins.
  • Use of Canola Oil: Contains canola oil preserved with mixed tocopherols; some cat owners might prefer alternative fat sources.
  • Animal Plasma Inclusion: The recipe includes animal plasma, which may not be preferred by all pet owners.

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.
