Summary

Taste of the Wild’s Canyon River Feline Recipe with Trout & Smoke-Flavored Salmon is a grain-free dry cat food designed for cats of all life stages.

The primary ingredient is fresh trout, a high-quality protein source complemented by ocean fish meal and salmon meal.

This recipe includes sweet potatoes, lentils, and peas as digestible carbohydrate sources and is enriched with fruits like tomatoes, blueberries, and raspberries for antioxidants.

The addition of species-specific probiotics supports digestive and immune health, making it ideal for cats with food sensitivities.

 

Pros:

  • High Protein Content: Contains 32% crude protein, primarily sourced from trout, ocean fish meal, and salmon meal, supporting muscle maintenance and overall health.
  • Omega Fatty Acids: This supplement provides a balanced blend of omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids, promoting healthy skin and a shiny coat.
  • Probiotics for Digestive Health: This product includes species-specific probiotics with 80 million live, active cultures per pound to aid digestion and support immune function.
  • Antioxidant-Rich Ingredients: This product incorporates fruits and vegetables like sweet potatoes, tomatoes, blueberries, and raspberries, offering antioxidants for overall well-being.
  • Grain-Free Formula: Free from grains, making it suitable for cats with grain sensitivities.

 

Cons:

  • Moderate Fat Content: Contains 16% crude fat, which may be higher than necessary for less active or overweight cats.
  • Carbohydrate Inclusion: Sweet potatoes, lentils, and peas are utilized as carbohydrate sources; while digestible, some cats may benefit from lower carbohydrate diets.
  • Potential Allergen: Includes fish proteins, which may not be suitable for cats with specific fish allergies.

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.
