Summary
Ambrosia Fresh Turkey & Herring is a grain-free, hypoallergenic formula tailored for sterilized and indoor adult cats.
It features 32% turkey (25% fresh deboned turkey and 7% dehydrated turkey protein) and 17% dehydrated herring protein, offering high-quality animal protein for muscle maintenance.
The recipe includes DL-methionine and low magnesium (0.09%) to support urinary health and prevent the formation of struvite stones.
Superfoods like spinach, pumpkin, cranberries, and blueberries provide antioxidants, vitamins, and immune-boosting benefits.
Essential fatty acids, including omega-3 (0.6%) and omega-6 (1.6%), help maintain healthy skin and a shiny coat.
It promotes joint health, muscle function, and weight management in sterilized cats by containing glucosamine, chondroitin, and L-carnitine.
This recipe avoids grains and artificial additives, catering to cats with food sensitivities while providing a palatable, meat-rich diet.
Pros:
- High-quality proteins: Contains 49% turkey and herring to meet the strict carnivorous needs of cats.
- Urinary health: Low magnesium content and added DL-methionine help reduce the risk of urinary stone formation.
- Antioxidant-rich superfoods: Includes spinach, pumpkin, cranberries, and blueberries to support immune health and overall well-being.
- Digestive support: Dried chicory (FOS), MOS, and beta-glucans improve gut health and nutrient absorption.
- Joint and muscle health: Enriched with glucosamine, chondroitin, and L-carnitine for mobility and lean muscle maintenance.
Cons:
- Moderate fat content: At 12%, the fat level may not meet the energy demands of highly active cats.
- Limited omega-3 levels: With only 0.6%, omega-3 content might be lower than ideal for cats needing enhanced anti-inflammatory benefits.
- Carbohydrate reliance: Ingredients like potato starch and peas could be less suitable for strict carnivorous 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.
