Summary

Araton Kitten is a complete dry food formulated to meet the nutritional needs of growing kittens.

Chicken meal is the primary protein source, and it provides balanced proteins, fats, and carbohydrates to support energy and vitality.

The inclusion of natural antioxidants and vitamin E boosts the immune system, enhancing disease resistance.

High-quality ingredients ensure good palatability and digestibility, catering to the sensitive digestive systems of young cats.

This formula is enriched with essential vitamins and minerals for optimal growth and development.

 

Pros:

  • Protein content: Contains 30% crude protein, supporting muscle development and overall growth.
  • Immune system support: Enriched with 480 mg/kg vitamin E and natural antioxidants to boost immunity.
  • Digestibility: Includes hydrolyzed liver and maize gluten to enhance nutrient absorption.
  • Balanced minerals: Calcium (1.25%) and phosphorus (1%) provide strong bone and dental support.
  • Taurine inclusion: Provides 1,000 mg/kg taurine, essential for heart health and vision development in kittens.

 

Cons:

  • Moderate fat content: At 11%, the fat content is lower than that of other kitten-specific diets, which often include higher levels for energy needs.
  • Grain-heavy formulation: This formulation includes maize, wheat bran, and triticale, which may not be suitable for grain-sensitive kittens.
  • Lower omega fatty acids: Lacks explicit omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acid content for skin and coat health.
  • Limited meat variety: Relies primarily on chicken meal and poultry fat, with less diversity in animal protein sources.
  • Ash content: A crude ash level of 7% is relatively high, which may indicate a higher mineral load.

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.
