Product Summary

Solid Gold’s Touch of Heaven Kitten Chicken & Sweet Potato Recipe is a grain- and gluten-free dry cat food formulated specifically for kittens.

The primary ingredient is fresh, cage-free chicken, providing high-density, lean protein essential for muscle development.

Enriched with DHA, this recipe supports cognitive development, while omega-rich components promote overall health.

A blend of superfoods and living probiotics enhances gut health and bolsters the immune system.

This formulation aims to provide comprehensive nutrition to support kittens’ growth into adulthood.

 

Pros:

  • High Protein Content: Contains 36% crude protein, primarily sourced from fresh chicken, chicken meal, and turkey meal, supporting robust muscle growth in kittens.
  • Cognitive Development Support: Enriched with DHA, an omega-3 fatty acid crucial for brain and eye development in growing kittens.
  • Digestive Health Enhancement: Includes living probiotics and dried chicory root to promote a healthy digestive system and improve nutrient absorption.
  • Immune System Support: Features antioxidant-rich superfoods like blueberries and cranberries, which help strengthen the immune system.

 

Cons:

  • Moderate Fat Content: Contains 18% crude fat, which may be higher than necessary for less active kittens, potentially leading to weight gain if not properly managed.
  • Carbohydrate Sources: Incorporates ingredients like sweet potatoes and peas, which are higher in carbohydrates and may not be ideal for kittens requiring lower-glycemic diets.
  • Plant-Based Proteins: Includes pea protein, a plant-based protein source that may be less digestible compared to animal-based proteins for some kittens.
  • Fiber Content: Provides 3% crude fiber, which might be insufficient for kittens needing additional fiber to aid digestion and prevent hairballs.

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.
