Summary

Boreal Original Turkey & Trout is a grain-free, high-protein cat food designed for everyday feeding for all breeds.

The first ingredients are turkey and trout, providing a lean and highly digestible source of animal protein to support muscle maintenance.

Low-glycemic ingredients like sweet potato, buckwheat, and lentils help regulate blood sugar levels and promote steady digestion.

This formula supports skin and coat health, with 1.3% omega-3 and 2.8% omega-6 fatty acids sourced from herring meal and flaxseeds.

Added taurine and L-lysine contribute to essential heart, eye, and muscle function.

No artificial preservatives, gluten, or grains are used, making it suitable for cats with dietary sensitivities.

This food balances energy levels at 16% fat content and 3492 kcal/kg while maintaining a healthy weight.

Pros:

  • High animal protein content: 36% crude protein from turkey, trout, and herring meal supports lean muscle mass.

  • Low-glycemic carbohydrates: Sweet potato, buckwheat, and lentils promote steady digestion and prolonged satiety.

  • It is rich in omega fatty acids, including Omega-3 (1.3%) and omega-6 (2.8%), which aid in maintaining skin and coat health.

  • No artificial additives: Free from artificial flavors, preservatives, and colors, reducing allergy risk.

  • Supports heart and metabolic function: Taurine, L-lysine, and L-tryptophan help with cardiovascular health and metabolism.

Cons:

  • Moderate fat content: While suitable for weight management, active cats may require higher fat levels.

  • Higher fiber content: At 6%, it may not be ideal for cats prone to digestive sensitivity.

  • Limited fresh meat inclusion: Turkey and trout are the primary proteins, but turkey meal is the main ingredient.

  • Ash content slightly high: At 9%, some cats may require a diet with lower mineral levels for urinary health.

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.
