Product Summary

Winner Plus: Lightcat is a complete dry food designed for senior cats and those requiring weight management.

Dried chicken (22%) is the primary protein source, complemented by dried fish (5%) and dried salmon (2%) for additional high-quality protein.

Rice, maize, and barley provide digestible carbohydrates to support energy needs while aiding in weight control.

Balanced omega-3 (0.5%) and omega-6 (2.4%) fatty acids promote healthy skin and a shiny coat, reducing inflammation and shedding.

Natural fibers and desugarized beet pulp support digestion, while inulin (prebiotic) helps maintain a healthy gut microbiome.

The formula is free from wheat, soy, artificial colors, and flavorings, ensuring a natural and clean feeding experience.

 

Pros:

  • Moderate Protein Content: Contains 29% protein from chicken, fish, and salmon, supporting muscle maintenance in senior and less active cats.
  • Digestive Health: Natural fibers, desugarized beet pulp, and inulin promote digestion and nutrient absorption.
  • Weight Management: Low-fat content (12%) and balanced energy support gentle weight loss and maintenance.
  • Skin and Coat Health: Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids from fish and linseed oil improve coat condition and reduce shedding.
  • Taurine Fortification: Provides 1,000 mg/kg taurine for heart health and vision, which is crucial for senior cats.

 

Cons:

  • Lower Fat Content: While suitable for weight management, the 12% fat may not meet the energy needs of more active or underweight cats.
  • Grain Inclusion: Contains rice, maize, and barley, which may not be ideal for cats with grain sensitivities.
  • Limited Fresh Meat: Relies on dried chicken and fish rather than fresh or minimally processed protein sources.
  • Complex Formula: A long list of ingredients may not appeal to owners seeking simpler, more natural recipes.

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.
