Ultima
Hairball with Turkey
Summary
Ultima Hairball with Turkey is a dry cat food designed for cats that tend to form hairballs, using a targeted fiber-rich recipe to help swallowed hair pass through the digestive tract instead of being vomited back up.
Turkey (17%) is the first ingredient and the main named animal ingredient, giving the formula a clear poultry base that supports palatability and contributes animal protein for muscle maintenance.
With 33% crude protein and 14% crude fat, the food supplies enough protein to support muscle maintenance while also providing fat as a concentrated source of daily energy and flavor.
Hairball control is supported by 5% crude fiber plus powder cellulose (3.8%) and pea fiber (0.8%), which add bulk to the diet and can help carry ingested hair out in the stool.
The formula is positioned as a veterinarian-developed functional diet, meaning the ingredient selection is geared toward a specific daily concern rather than a generic maintenance recipe.
Skin and coat care is built around 2.2% omega-6 along with added biotin and zinc, nutrients that help support the skin barrier and a shinier coat in cats that groom frequently.
The inclusion of ammonium chloride at 5 g adds urinary-support value because this ingredient is used to help acidify urine and support mineral balance in the urinary tract.
This formula is best suited to indoor or outdoor cats whose main nutritional need is ongoing hairball management and who benefit from added fiber and coat 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.
