Adult Salmon Recipe Low Grain
Summary
Urban Choice Adult Salmon Recipe Low Grain is a dry cat food formulated for adult cats, suitable for both indoor and outdoor lifestyles, with a focus on high-protein nutrition and digestive support.
The first ingredient, fresh salmon, provides a high-quality, animal-based protein source rich in essential amino acids and omega-3 fatty acids, supporting lean muscle maintenance and skin health.
Dehydrated salmon and herring further enhance the protein content, contributing to the product’s 35% crude protein level, which supports active metabolism and tissue repair in adult cats.
With 15% crude fat and 3990 kcal/kg metabolizable energy, the formula offers a balanced energy profile appropriate for moderately active cats.
Low-grain carbohydrates such as green peas, sweet potatoes, and potato flakes provide digestible energy while avoiding high-glycemic grains like corn or wheat.
Functional fibers from beet pulp, linseed, and chicory root (a natural source of FOS) promote digestive health and support beneficial gut bacteria.
Salmon oil and linseed contribute natural omega-3 fatty acids, which help reduce inflammation and support coat shine and skin barrier function.
Added L-carnitine (100 mg/kg) aids in fat metabolism, helping maintain a healthy body weight and lean muscle mass.
Antioxidant-rich ingredients such as blueberries, cranberries, spirulina, and plant extracts (including rosemary and turmeric) provide cellular protection and immune system support.
Probiotic Enterococcus faecium and prebiotic fibers work together to support a stable gut microbiome and improve nutrient absorption.
Pros:
- High-quality animal protein sources: Fresh and dehydrated salmon and herring deliver complete proteins that support muscle maintenance and overall vitality.
- Digestive health support: Prebiotics like chicory root and beet pulp, along with probiotics, promote healthy digestion and stool quality.
- Omega-3 fatty acids for skin and coat: Salmon oil and linseed provide essential fatty acids that help reduce inflammation and support a glossy coat.
- Antioxidant-rich botanicals: Ingredients like cranberries, blueberries, spirulina, and turmeric offer natural antioxidant protection to support immune health.
- Fat metabolism support: L-carnitine inclusion helps convert fat into energy, supporting weight control and lean body mass.
- Moderate carbohydrate content: At 34%, the carbohydrate level is balanced for energy without excessive starch load.
Cons:
- High ash content: At 7.5%, the ash level may be excessive for cats with kidney or urinary sensitivities, potentially increasing mineral load.
- Lack of declared mineral levels: Absence of specific calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium values limits assessment of bone and urinary health support.
- Use of plant-based protein concentrates: Ingredients like potato protein may dilute the overall animal protein quality despite high crude protein levels.
- Unspecified omega fatty acid levels: The absence of omega-3 and omega-6 percentages makes it difficult to evaluate the product’s anti-inflammatory and skin health efficacy.

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.
