Summary

Techni-Cal Pure Nature Adult Cat Active is a high-protein dry food for active adult cats.

The formula contains 45% animal-based ingredients, including dehydrated chicken, turkey, duck, fresh chicken (8%), and fish meal.

Salmon oil and chicken fat contribute to a balanced omega-3 (7.96 g/kg) and omega-6 (36.23 g/kg) profile for skin and coat health.

Prebiotics like fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) and Mojave yucca support digestion and gut flora stability.

Including fresh chicken liver and hearts provides natural vitamins and enhances palatability.

Plant fibers such as psyllium husks and beet pulp (2%) aid in digestive health and stool consistency.

Free from artificial colorings, flavorings, and preservatives, ensuring a natural and nutritious diet.

 

Pros:

  • High protein content: 36% crude protein from a mix of dehydrated and fresh meats supports muscle maintenance and energy levels.
  • Healthy fats: 23% crude fat, including chicken fat and cold-pressed salmon oil, provides essential fatty acids for skin and coat health.
  • Digestive support: This product contains prebiotics (FOS), psyllium husks, and Mojave yucca to promote gut mobility and reduce stool odor.
  • Immune system support: Fortified with vitamins A (18,000 IU/kg), C (50 mg/kg), and E (330 mg/kg) for overall vitality.
  • The high energy density of 4,240 kcal/kg makes it suitable for active cats with higher caloric needs.

 

Cons:

  • Contains maize and maize gluten: It may not be ideal for cats with grain sensitivities or allergies.
  • Moderate ash content: 6.5% crude ash could contribute to a higher mineral load, impacting kidney health in some cats.
  • Relatively high-fat content: 23% crude fat may not be suitable for less active or overweight cats.
  • Multiple fat sources: Includes chicken fat, rapeseed oil, and salmon oil, which might be excessive for cats with fat-related dietary restrictions.

Notes

Information about antioxidants and preservatives is missing or insufficient. Since I didn’t want to remove points due to this missing info without any proof, I evaluated this food assuming the natural preservatives were used. But note that this is just an assumption.

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.
