Product Summary

Urban Choice Adult Salmon Recipe Low Grain is a balanced dry cat food designed for adult urban cats. It features a high protein content of 35%, primarily from fresh salmon (15%), dehydrated salmon (15%), and dehydrated herring (15%). The inclusion of green peas, sweet potatoes, and various superfoods like cranberries and blueberries contribute to its nutritional profile, making it rich in essential nutrients and antioxidants. Its low-grain formulation suits cats with sensitivities.

 

Pros:

  • High protein content at 35%, mainly sourced from quality fish ingredients.
  • Includes salmon oil (1.5%), a great source of Omega-3 fatty acids for skin and coat health.
  • Enriched with vitamins and minerals, including Vitamin A, D3, and E, plus taurine (1,500 mg) for heart and eye health.

 

Cons:

  • Fat content is relatively high at 15%, which might not be suitable for less active cats.
  • Contains 7.5% crude ash, which is higher than some other dry foods, potentially indicating higher mineral content.
  • Inclusion of green peas and potato protein, which are plant-based ingredients, might not be ideal for cats with specific dietary needs.

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.
