Summary

Dibaq Sense Cat Kitten is a grain-free dry food specifically formulated for kittens under one year old and cats during pregnancy or lactation.

The recipe contains 55% turkey, including 20% fresh turkey meat and 35% dehydrated turkey, combined with 20% fresh salmon for high-quality animal protein.

With a guaranteed 38% crude protein and 18% crude fat, it provides essential energy and supports muscle growth during the critical developmental stage.

Fresh fruits and vegetables, including sweet potato, carrot, and apple, supply natural antioxidants, vitamins, and fiber for immune and digestive health.

L-carnitine aids in energy metabolism, while prebiotics like chicory root (source of inulin) and yeast (MOS) promote a healthy digestive system.

Additional ingredients like dental complex (ginger and nettle), yucca extract to neutralize stool odor, and natural antioxidants ensure complete and balanced nutrition.

 

Pros:

  • High-Quality Animal Protein: Contains 55% turkey and 20% fresh salmon, providing 38% crude protein to support healthy growth and development.
  • Optimal Fat Levels: Includes 18% crude fat from turkey and salmon oils, delivering essential energy for active kittens and nursing cats.
  • Joint and Dental Support: Contains joint protectors like chondroitin and glucosamine and a dental complex (ginger and nettle) to support mobility and oral hygiene.
  • Digestive Health: Prebiotics such as chicory root (inulin) and yeast (MOS) enhance gut health and nutrient absorption.
  • Natural Antioxidants: Fresh fruits and vegetables, including sweet potatoes, carrots, and apples, provide antioxidants for immune system support.
  • Hypoallergenic and Grain-Free: Formulated without grains, it is ideal for kittens with food intolerances or sensitivities.

 

Cons:

  • Carbohydrate Inclusion: Ingredients like potatoes and cassava contribute carbohydrates, which may not align with the low-carb needs of obligate carnivores.
  • Omega-3 Content: Although salmon oil is included, the omega-3 levels are not highlighted, which could limit its benefits for skin and coat health.
  • Fiber Content: At 1.7%, fiber is relatively low, which might not be sufficient for kittens needing additional digestive support.
  • Ash Content: Contains 7.5% inorganic matter, which may be higher for kittens sensitive to mineral intake.
  • Calorie Density: With 3,835 kcal/kg, careful portion control is necessary to avoid overfeeding in less active kittens or lactating 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.
