Product Summary

Taste of the Wild’s Lowland Creek Feline Recipe with Roasted Quail & Roasted Duck is a grain-free dry cat food formulated for cats at all life stages.

The primary ingredient is cage-free duck, providing a high-quality, digestible protein source.

This recipe combines roasted quail and roasted duck to deliver protein-rich nutrition that supports lean muscle development while offering an appealing taste.

Enriched with species-specific probiotics, taurine, and antioxidants from fruits and vegetables, it promotes digestive health, a strong immune system, and overall well-being.

 

Pros:

  • High-Quality Protein Sources: The inclusion of cage-free duck as the first ingredient, along with roasted quail and roasted duck, provides highly digestible proteins essential for maintaining lean muscle mass.
  • Species-Specific Probiotics: Each pound of this formula contains 80 million live, active cultures of Viables Probiotics, developed specifically for cats, to support healthy digestive and immune systems.
  • Essential Nutrients: The recipe includes taurine, an essential amino acid that supports heart and eye health, and a balanced blend of omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids to promote healthy skin and a shiny coat.
  • Antioxidant-Rich Ingredients: Vegetables, legumes, and fruits such as sweet potatoes, lentils, peas, blueberries, raspberries, and tomatoes provide antioxidants that help support overall well-being.
  • All Life Stages Nutrition: Formulated to meet the nutritional needs of cats throughout all stages of life, from kitten to senior cat, offering versatility for multi-cat households.

 

Cons:

  • Moderate Fat Content: With a minimum crude fat content of 16%, this formula may not suit cats requiring a low-fat diet.
  • Caloric Density: The calorie content is 3,558 kcal/kg (403 kcal/cup), which may necessitate portion control to prevent weight gain in less active cats.
  • Potential Allergen Presence: The inclusion of multiple protein sources (duck, quail, turkey, chicken) may not be suitable for cats with specific protein allergies or sensitivities.
  • Use of Natural Flavor: The ingredient list includes “natural flavor,” which is not explicitly defined and may be a concern for pet owners seeking complete transparency.

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.
