Summary

Ultima Sterilized Adult with Salmon is a dry cat food formulated specifically for adult sterilized cats, addressing their unique needs for weight control, urinary health, and immune support.
The first ingredient is salmon, including head, bone, and flesh, which provides a natural source of high-quality animal protein and essential fatty acids to support lean muscle maintenance and skin health.
With a crude protein content of 35% and a moderate fat level of 12%, the formula supports muscle preservation while helping to manage weight in less active, neutered cats.
The inclusion of fiber-rich ingredients such as pea fiber, powdered cellulose, and beet pulp promotes satiety and supports healthy digestion, which is important for weight control.
A balanced mineral profile, including 0.7% sodium and the addition of ammonium chloride, helps maintain optimal urinary pH, reducing the risk of urinary tract issues common in sterilized cats.
Omega-6 fatty acids at 2.4%, along with biotin and zinc, contribute to a healthy skin barrier and a shiny coat, while also supporting the immune system.
Vitamins C (190 mg), D3 (1080 IU), and E (650 mg) provide antioxidant protection and immune support, helping to maintain the cat’s natural defenses.
Multiple animal protein sources, including poultry, pork, beef, and fish, offer a broad amino acid profile for overall health and vitality.
Carbohydrates make up 31.5% of the formula, primarily from grains like maize, wheat, and barley, providing energy but also increasing the glycemic load.
The metabolizable energy of 3576 kcal/kg offers a controlled calorie density suitable for indoor and outdoor sterilized adult cats.

Pros
Expand All
1

High-quality animal protein base

Salmon as the first ingredient delivers essential amino acids and omega-3s for muscle and skin health.
2

Weight management support

Moderate fat (12%) and added fiber help control appetite and support healthy body weight in sterilized cats.
3

Urinary tract health

Balanced minerals and ammonium chloride help regulate urinary pH, reducing the risk of urinary crystal formation.
4

Strong antioxidant profile

High levels of vitamins C and E support immune function and cellular protection.
5

Skin and coat support

Omega-6 fatty acids, biotin, and zinc promote a healthy skin barrier and glossy coat.
Cons
Expand All
1

High ash content

At 7.5%, the ash level may be excessive for cats with kidney or urinary sensitivities.
2

Use of multiple grain sources

Ingredients such as maize, wheat, and barley increase the carbohydrate content and may not be suitable for cats with grain sensitivities.
3

Low taurine level

Taurine at 1100 mg/kg is on the lower end for adult cat maintenance, especially for heart and vision health.
4

Complex protein mix

Multiple animal protein sources may not be ideal for cats with food allergies or requiring limited-ingredient diets.
5

Lack of omega-3 specification

Although omega-6 is listed, the absence of a declared omega-3 content limits the assessment of anti-inflammatory support.

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.
