Summary

AATU Salmon is a dry cat food formulated to provide high animal protein and a grain-free composition.

The primary ingredient is freshly prepared salmon (85%), offering a highly digestible protein source for muscle maintenance.

Carbohydrates are derived from sweet potatoes, chickpeas, peas, and tapioca, providing slow-release energy without grains or white potatoes.

A blend of fruits, vegetables, herbs, and botanicals supplies antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals to support the immune system.

Enterococcus Faecium is included as a probiotic to aid digestion and promote a balanced gut microbiome.

With a guaranteed analysis of 34% protein and 18% fat, this formula is designed for active adult cats requiring sustained energy.

The recipe is free from artificial preservatives, colors, flavors, and GM ingredients, catering to cats with food sensitivities.

Pros:

  • High animal protein content: It contains 85% salmon as the primary ingredient, ensuring a rich source of essential amino acids.

  • Omega fatty acids for skin and coat: Provides 4.3% omega-3 and 2.3% omega-6 fatty acids to support skin hydration and coat shine.

  • Digestive health support: Includes Enterococcus Faecium to promote gut flora balance and improve nutrient absorption.

  • Grain and gluten-free: Formulated without grains, white potatoes, or gluten, reducing the likelihood of food sensitivities.

  • Nutrient-dense formula: Uses 3 kg of raw ingredients to produce 1 kg of finished product, ensuring concentrated nutrition.

Cons:

  • High fat content: With 18% crude fat, this formula may not be suitable for less active or overweight cats.

  • Low moisture content: Contains only 8% moisture, requiring cats to drink sufficient water to stay hydrated.

  • Presence of plant-based proteins: Chickpeas and peas contribute to the protein content, which may be less bioavailable than animal proteins.

  • Strong fish-based aroma: The high salmon content might produce a strong smell that may not appeal to all cats or owners.

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.
