The recipe contains dehydrated chicken, turkey, and duck as primary protein sources for muscle development and growth.

Salmon oil provides omega-3 fatty acids for healthy skin and a shiny coat.

Prebiotics like fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) and beet pulp support digestion and gut flora stability.

Essential vitamins and minerals, including vitamin E, support the immune system and overall well-being.

Rice, barley, and oats are digestible carbohydrate sources for sustained energy.

The formula is free from artificial colorings and flavorings, ensuring a natural and balanced diet.

 

Pros:

  • Rich in healthy fats: 21% crude fat, including omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, promotes skin and coat health.
  • Digestive support: Prebiotics (FOS) and beet pulp aid gut mobility and intestinal health.
  • Immune system boost: Vitamin E and essential nutrients contribute to overall immune health.
  • Balanced vitamin and mineral profile: Contains calcium (1.4%) and phosphorus (1.1%) for strong bones and teeth.

 

Cons:

  • Moderate ash content: 7.5% crude ash could contribute to a higher mineral load, which may not be ideal for all kittens.
  • It contains multiple fat sources, Including chicken fat, pork fat, and fish oil, which may be unsuitable for kittens with fat sensitivities.
  • The grain-inclusive formula contains rice, barley, and oats, which may not be ideal for kittens with grain sensitivities.

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.
