Summary

Prochoice: Pro 38 Lamb & Rice Formula is a complete and balanced dry food formulated for kittens.

It contains 30% dehydrated chicken protein as the primary ingredient, providing essential amino acids for growth.

Dehydrated lamb protein (4%) adds variety to the protein sources, enhancing palatability.

Carbohydrates are sourced from maize, green peas, and white rice (4%), supplying energy for active kittens.

Animal fat (chicken) and salmon oil contribute to Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids, promoting healthy skin and a shiny coat.

Dried beet pulp and dried cranberries offer fiber and antioxidants, supporting digestive health and immune function.

Functional ingredients like yeast extract and Yucca schidigera aid digestion and help reduce stool odor.

The formula is fortified with essential vitamins and minerals, including taurine (1,500 mg/kg) for heart health and balanced minerals for kidney and bladder support.

 

Pros:

  • High protein content: 38% crude protein supports optimal growth and muscle development in kittens.
  • Multiple protein sources: Including chicken and lamb proteins provides a diverse amino acid profile.
  • Essential fatty acids: Omega-3 and Omega-6 from salmon oil and animal fat promote skin and coat health.
  • Digestive support: Dried beet pulp and yeast extract contribute to healthy digestion.
  • Immune system support: Antioxidants from dried cranberries help strengthen the immune system.

 

Cons:

  • Grain-based carbohydrates: The presence of maize and white rice increases carbohydrate content, which may not align with a carnivorous diet.
  • Potential allergens: Ingredients like maize and chicken could trigger sensitivities in some kittens.
  • Moderate fat level: 18% crude fat may not be sufficient for kittens with higher energy requirements.
  • Limited lamb content: Dehydrated lamb protein is present at only 4%, making it a minor component.
  • Added sodium: Sodium content is not specified, which could concern kittens requiring low-sodium diets.

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.
