Summary
VitaDay Croccantini Mix is a complete dry cat food designed to provide balanced nutrition for cats of all ages.
The formula features cereals (min. 8%) as a primary ingredient, alongside meat and derivatives (min. 8%) and vegetables (min. 4%) for a mix of protein, fiber, and carbohydrates.
It contains 29% crude protein and 9% crude fat, making it suitable for maintenance and general health support.
However, its lower fat content may limit its suitability for high-energy cats.
Chelated minerals are included to enhance bioavailability and help stimulate the cat’s immune defenses.
Functional ingredients like oils and fats contribute to a shiny coat and overall vitality.
The food is fortified with essential vitamins such as Vitamin A, Vitamin D3, and Vitamin E to support skin, vision, and immune health.
Technological additives like antioxidants and preservatives help maintain the product’s freshness, while organoleptic additives ensure flavor appeal.
Pros:
- Sufficient protein content: At 29%, it supports muscle maintenance and general health in cats.
- Chelated minerals: These improve nutrient absorption and help boost immune defenses.
- Essential vitamins: Fortification with Vitamins A, D3, and E promotes skin, coat, and immune system health.
- Shiny coat support: The inclusion of oils and fats contributes to maintaining a healthy, glossy coat.
Cons:
- Low-fat content: At 9%, the fat level may not meet the energy needs of active or growing cats.
- Generic ingredient descriptions: Terms like “meat and derivatives” and “cereals” lack specificity, making it difficult to assess the quality of ingredients.
- High carbohydrate content: Cereals and vegetable-derived ingredients likely contribute significant carbohydrates, which are less ideal for obligate carnivores.
- Use of by-products: Ingredients such as “by-products of vegetable origin” may dilute the overall nutritional quality.
- Additives and colorants: The inclusion of artificial additives and colorants may not appeal to owners seeking a more natural diet for their cats.

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.
