Vigor and Sage
Wolfberry Well-Being Kitten
Summary
Vigor & Sage Wolfberry Well-Being Kitten is a grain-free dry food formulated for kittens up to 12 months of age, designed to support early growth, immune development, and digestion.
The formula’s primary ingredients are fresh boneless chicken meat (26%) and dried chicken (22%), which provide high-quality animal protein for muscle and skeletal development.
Dried potato, peas, linseed, and beet pulp are carbohydrates and fiber sources that contribute digestible energy and promote intestinal regularity.
Functional botanical ingredients include wolfberry (goji berry), known for its antioxidant and immune-boosting properties, and yam and tangerine peel, selected for their digestive and skin-supporting effects.
Seaweed (0.4%) is added for its natural iodine, calcium, iron, and vitamin K content, enhancing skin health and overall vitality.
The guaranteed analysis shows 33.0% crude protein, 18.0% fat, 4.5% fiber, and 8.0% ash, with calcium at 1.5% and phosphorus at 1.2%, supporting bone development and mineral balance.
Vitamin and mineral fortification includes vitamin A (18,000 IU), vitamin D3 (1,800 IU), vitamin E (300 IU), and chelated forms of copper, zinc, manganese, and iron to support immunity, growth, and nutrient absorption.
Pros:
High-quality poultry base: Composed of 48% chicken (26% fresh, 22% dried), providing highly digestible protein necessary for growth and development.
Immune system support: Wolfberry (0.14%) contributes antioxidants and vitamins that help support immune maturation during kittenhood.
Balanced growth profile: Contains 1.5% calcium and 1.2% phosphorus, aligned with kitten growth needs for strong bones and teeth.
Botanical digestive aids include yam and tangerine peel, both of which were selected for their roles in digestive comfort and overall health support.
Chelated mineral inclusion: Chelated copper, zinc, manganese, and iron are used for improved absorption during a critical growth phase.
Grain-free formulation: This formulation avoids grain-based ingredients, using potato and peas as alternative carbohydrate sources suitable for kittens with sensitivities.
Cons:
Elevated ash content: At 8.0%, the mineral load is relatively high, which may be excessive for some kittens with sensitive digestion or renal predisposition.
Lack of protein diversity: The formula is poultry-exclusive; additional animal protein sources could provide a broader amino acid range.
Unspecified role of fruits: While various fruits like lemon, banana, kiwi, and cranberry are included, their contribution to the overall nutritional profile is not quantified or clarified.
High fiber level for kittens: 4.5% fiber may be higher than typical for kitten formulas and could affect stool consistency in sensitive individuals.

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.
