Summary
Birbo Premium Gatos Blend, Chicken, Beef, and Fish is a dry cat food designed to provide balanced nutrition for adult cats. It incorporates a mix of poultry, beef, and fish-based proteins.
The formula contains 30% crude protein, sourced from poultry viscera meal, bovine meat and bone meal, and fish meal, supporting muscle maintenance and overall health.
This recipe, with 10% crude fat and a calorie density of 3,750 kcal/kg, provides sufficient energy for adult cats with moderate activity levels.
Omega-3 (0.1%) and omega-6 (1%) fatty acids, sourced from flaxseed and poultry fat, promote skin health and a glossy coat.
The addition of taurine (1,000 mg/kg) supports cardiovascular and visual health, while Yucca schidigera extract helps reduce stool odor for improved litter box management.
Enriched with essential vitamins (A, D3, E, B-complex) and minerals, the formula ensures complete nutrition for adult cats.
Pros:
- Adequate Protein Content: This product provides 30% crude protein from poultry, beef, and fish sources, supporting muscle maintenance and daily energy needs.
- Taurine Enrichment: Contains 1,000 mg/kg of taurine, which is essential for heart health and vision maintenance in adult cats.
- Skin and Coat Health: Omega-3 (0.1%) and omega-6 (1%) fatty acids, derived from flaxseed and fish meal, contribute to healthy skin and a shiny coat.
- Digestive Support: Yucca schidigera extract helps minimize stool odor and supports digestive health.
- Balanced Nutrition: Fortified with essential vitamins and minerals, such as Vitamin E and zinc, to support immune health and overall wellness.
Cons:
- Protein Source Quality: Relies on by-products like poultry viscera meal and bovine meat and bone meal instead of whole meat, which may concern pet owners seeking premium-quality ingredients.
- High Carbohydrate Content: Ground whole corn, corn gluten meal, and wheat bran contribute significant carbohydrates, which may not suit obligate carnivores.
- Artificial Additives: Contains artificial colorings (e.g., red ponceau 4R, tartrazine yellow) and preservatives (BHA, BHT), which may not align with preferences for natural diets.
- Low Omega-3 Content: Omega-3 levels (0.1%) are minimal, limiting their anti-inflammatory and skin health benefits.
- Fat Level for Active Cats: At 10% crude fat, the formula may not meet the energy demands of highly active or underweight 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.
