Summary
ANF Feline Hairball is a dry cat food designed to assist adult cats in managing and reducing hairball formation.
The primary ingredient is chicken meal, providing a concentrated source of animal protein essential for maintaining lean muscle mass.
The formula includes ground brown rice and oat groats, offering digestible carbohydrates for sustained energy.
Enriched with beet pulp, a source of dietary fiber, it promotes healthy digestion and facilitates the passage of ingested hair through the digestive tract.
Additionally, omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids support skin and coat health, reducing shedding and subsequent hairball issues.
Pros:
- High Protein Content: Contains a significant amount of crude protein, primarily sourced from chicken meal, supporting muscle maintenance and overall health in adult cats.
- Moderate Fat Levels: Provides essential fatty acids necessary for energy and healthy skin and coat.
- Digestive Health Support: Inclusion of beet pulp offers dietary fiber, promoting healthy digestion and aiding in the natural elimination of ingested hair.
- Omega Fatty Acids: Enriched with sources of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, contributing to skin and coat health, which can help reduce shedding.
Cons:
- Carbohydrate Inclusion: The use of ground brown rice and oat groats increases carbohydrate levels, which may not align with the obligate carnivore nature of cats.
- Potential Allergen Presence: Contains ingredients like fish meal and egg product, which could be allergens for some sensitive 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.
