Summit 10
Grain Free - Adult Cat - Hair Care with Chicken & Potato
Summary
Summit 10 Grain Free Hair Care is a dry food for adult cats that supports skin, coat health, and hairball control.
The first ingredient is fresh chicken (30%), followed by dehydrated chicken protein (25%), providing a single, species-specific animal protein source.
Potato (14%) and carob flour replace grains, aiming to reduce intolerance risks for cats with sensitive digestion.
Poultry fat, whole egg, and hydrolyzed chicken liver contribute to palatability, protein quality, and energy content.
The formula contains inulin (FOS), MOS, and beet pulp for digestive regulation and nutrient absorption.
Crude analysis includes 31% protein and 17% fat, designed to maintain healthy muscle mass and energy levels.
Taurine, at 950 mg/kg, is included alongside DL-methionine (1,000 mg/kg) and ammonium chloride (5,000 mg/kg), which may aid urinary health.
Pros:
Single animal protein source: Fresh and dehydrated chicken comprise 55% of the formula, supporting digestibility and minimizing allergen exposure.
Grain-free formulation: Uses potato and carob instead of grains, which can benefit cats with grain-related sensitivities.
Digestive support: Contains inulin (FOS), MOS, beet pulp, and yeast to promote a healthy gut microbiome and nutrient absorption.
Urinary health components: DL-methionine and ammonium chloride are included, which may help control urinary pH.
High antioxidant support: Delivers 750 mg/kg of Vitamin E and 75 mg/kg of Vitamin C, contributing to immune defense and skin health.
Designed for coat care: Protein quality, essential fats, and added nutrients target coat condition and reduce hairball formation.
Cons:
High ash content: At 7.6%, the crude ash level is relatively high, which may not be ideal for cats with kidney or urinary issues.
Low taurine compared to premium ranges: Taurine is present at 950 mg/kg, which is adequate but lower than typical levels in higher-tier diets.
Use of carob flour and potato protein: These ingredients boost protein and fiber levels but are plant-based and less biologically relevant for carnivores.

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.
