Summary
Trendline Adult Gourmet is a dry cat food formulated for adult cats living both indoors and outdoors, offering a standard nutritional profile suitable for general maintenance.
The primary protein source is processed animal protein, which provides essential amino acids for muscle maintenance; however, the lack of specificity regarding the animal origin may be a concern for cats with sensitivities.
With a crude protein level of 27% and fat at 10%, the formula delivers moderate energy and supports lean body mass without promoting excessive weight gain.
Carbohydrates make up 42.5% of the formula, primarily from wheat, corn, and corn gluten, which serve as energy sources but may be less digestible for some cats.
Animal fat is included to enhance palatability and provide essential fatty acids, while flaxseed contributes plant-based omega-3s that support skin and coat health.
Dried sugar beet pulp acts as a source of fermentable fiber, aiding in digestive health and stool quality.
The inclusion of brewer’s yeast offers B-vitamins and supports immune function and skin health.
Essential vitamins such as vitamin A (15,000 IU/kg), D3 (1,000 IU/kg), E (150 mg/kg), and C (120 mg/kg) contribute to vision, bone health, antioxidant protection, and immune support.
Taurine is present at 1,000 mg/kg, supporting heart function and vision, though this level is on the lower end of the recommended range.
Liver aroma is used to enhance palatability, encouraging consistent food intake in adult cats.

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.
