Summary

Araton Adult Sterilised with Chicken is a complete dry food designed for sterilized cats or those prone to weight gain.

It features dehydrated poultry meat as the primary protein source, supporting muscle maintenance while managing calorie intake.

The formula includes a reduced calorie level to help maintain an ideal weight.

Balanced sodium, magnesium, and phosphorus levels promote urinary tract health, reducing the risk of complications.

Beet pulp enhances digestion by stimulating beneficial gut bacteria, improving overall nutrient absorption.

 

Pros:

  • Weight control: Contains reduced calories and 15% crude fat to help manage weight in sterilized or overweight cats.
  • Urinary health: Balanced minerals (calcium 1.4%, phosphorus 1.2%) and reduced magnesium levels support urinary tract health.
  • Digestive support: Includes beet pulp, which aids digestion and improves gut flora.
  • Protein content: Provides 24% crude protein for maintaining muscle mass in less active cats.
  • Enriched with taurine: Supplies 750 mg/kg taurine for heart and eye health.

 

Cons:

  • Lower protein level: At 24%, the protein content is moderate compared to other sterilized formulas with higher protein values.
  • Grain-based formula: Contains maize, triticale, and wheat bran, which may not suit cats with grain sensitivities.
  • Limited flavor variety: It relies mainly on chicken, which may not appeal to cats, preferring diverse protein sources.
  • High fiber: The crude fiber content (3.5%) may not be ideal for cats needing a lower-fiber diet.
  • Ash content: A crude ash level of 6.8% may indicate a relatively high mineral content.

Notes

Information about antioxidants and preservatives is missing or insufficient. Since I didn’t want to remove points due to this missing info without any proof, I evaluated this food assuming the natural preservatives were used. But note that this is just an assumption.

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.
