Summary
Arion Original Large 32/19 Chicken is a dry cat food designed specifically for large breed cats, providing targeted nutritional support.
The first ingredient is dehydrated chicken meat meal (45%), offering a concentrated source of animal protein.
Larger kibble pieces are formulated to match the needs of large-breed cats, promoting chewing and better oral hygiene.
A crude protein content of 32% ensures proper muscle maintenance, while 19% crude fat provides sustained energy.
Omega-3 fatty acids (0.5%) from refined fish oil help maintain a healthy skin and coat.
Joint health is supported through the inclusion of hydrolyzed collagen and psyllium husk, which also aids digestion.
Prebiotics MOS and FOS contribute to gut health, while antioxidant-rich plant extracts support the immune system.
Pros:
- High animal protein content: Dehydrated chicken meal (45%) is the primary ingredient, ensuring quality protein intake.
- Supports large breed needs: Larger kibble size promotes better chewing and decreases eating.
- Joint and coat health: Hydrolyzed collagen and omega-3 from fish oil support mobility and skin condition.
- Digestive health: Prebiotics MOS and FOS, along with psyllium husk, aid digestion and balance gut flora.
- Immune support: Antioxidant plant extracts (rosemary, turmeric, citrus, cloves) help combat oxidative stress.
Cons:
- No fresh meat: The absence of fresh chicken may impact palatability for some cats.
- Moderate fiber level: At 1.8%, fiber content is relatively low compared to some digestive-support formulas.
- Limited omega-3 content: While fish oil is included, the omega-3 level (0.5%) is lower than in some other large breed formulas.
- Contains refined animal fat: The source of the fat is not specified, which may concern owners seeking highly specific ingredients.

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.
