Summary

Vigor & Sage Oatgrass Hairball Control is a dry food formulated for large-breed adult cats.
Its specific focus is on digestive support and hairball management.
The food combines fresh meat, herbs, fruits, and vegetables, offering a holistic nutritional profile designed to meet daily feline needs.
Key functional ingredients include oat grass, which is known for its fiber content and ability to help move ingested hair through the digestive system.
Plantago seed and poria are added for their mucilage content and digestive support benefits, helping to improve gut function and stool consistency.
The formula includes seaweed, which contributes vitamins and trace minerals such as iodine, calcium, and iron, and is associated with skin and immune support.
The guaranteed analysis lists 32.0% crude protein, 16.0% crude fat, 4.5% crude fiber, and a notably high 8.5% crude ash, with calcium at 1.5% and phosphorus at 1.2%.
Vitamin levels include A (18,000 IU), D3 (1,800 IU), and E (300 IU), along with essential minerals such as iron (80 mg), manganese (30 mg), and zinc (75 mg).

4

Micronutrient-rich

Seaweed adds natural sources of iodine, calcium, and iron, while vitamins A, D3, and E support vision, immunity, and antioxidant defense.
5

Natural antioxidant system

Includes 300 IU of vitamin E from natural sources to help reduce oxidative stress and inflammation.
6

Cons
Expand All
1

High ash content

At 8.5%, the ash level is significantly above average, suggesting a heavy mineral load that could impact kidney function in sensitive cats.
2

Unspecified protein sources

The available sources do not fully disclose the ingredient list, making it unclear what meats are used and in what proportions.
3

No fresh or raw fish content

The formula lacks salmon oil or other fish-based omega sources beyond trace micronutrients from seaweed.
4

Plant-based fiber bulk

Fiber is supplied primarily through plant components like oatgrass and plantago, which are not always optimally digestible by obligate carnivores.

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.
