Summary
Gosbi Original Sterilized Hairball is a dry cat food formulated for sterilized adult cats prone to hairball formation.
The primary ingredient is dehydrated chicken protein (26%), providing essential amino acids for muscle maintenance.
Rice (minimum 20%), whole wheat, and whole barley serve as carbohydrate sources, supplying energy while contributing to satiety.
Chicken fat and dehydrated fish provide essential fatty acids, supporting skin hydration and coat health.
Including vegetable fiber, beet pulp, and malt extract promotes intestinal function and facilitates the natural elimination of hairballs.
Salmon oil and brewer’s yeast enhance palatability while offering additional nutritional benefits.
The formula is enriched with yucca extract, seaweed, and rosemary, which may contribute to digestive and immune support.
Pros:
- High protein content: 33% crude protein supports muscle maintenance and overall feline health.
- Hairball control: Vegetable fiber, beet pulp, and malt extract help facilitate the evacuation of ingested hair.
- Digestive support: Yucca extract and seaweed contribute to digestive health and nutrient absorption.
- Omega fatty acids: Omega-3 (0.6%) and Omega-6 (2.9%) from salmon oil and chicken fat support skin and coat health.
Cons:
- Grain-based formulation: Contains whole wheat and barley, which may not be suitable for cats with grain sensitivities.
- Moderate fat content: 14% crude fat may not provide enough energy for highly active cats.
- Higher fiber level: 6% crude fiber benefits hairball control but may not be ideal for all 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.
