Summary

Delcon Adult with Fish is a balanced dry food formulated for adult cats, featuring a combination of poultry, fish, and salmon oil to promote overall health.

The formula includes 20% dehydrated poultry and 5% dehydrated fish, providing high-quality protein for maintaining muscle mass and vitality.

Salmon oil (1%) contributes omega-3 fatty acids to support healthy skin and a shiny coat.

Dried beet pulp (4%) and cellulose supply dietary fiber for better digestion and stool quality.

With an 18% crude fat content, the recipe offers sufficient energy to meet the needs of active adult cats.

Essential vitamins and minerals, including vitamins A, D3, and zinc, support immune health and coat maintenance.

This formula is designed to be palatable, using hydrolyzed chicken liver and fish to ensure a delicious taste and aroma.

 

Pros:

  • High-quality protein: Provides 31% crude protein derived from 20% poultry and 5% fish, supporting lean muscle maintenance.
  • Omega-3 benefits: Includes 1% salmon oil, delivering omega-3 fatty acids for skin and coat health.
  • Digestive support: Contains 4% dried beet pulp and cellulose for improved stool quality and digestion.
  • Balanced nutrition: Enriched with essential vitamins (A, D3, E) and minerals (zinc, selenium) to promote overall health and immunity.
  • Palatable formulation: Hydrolyzed chicken liver and fish enhance the flavor, appealing to picky eaters.

 

Cons:

  • Low fish content: Contains only 5% dehydrated fish, limiting the contribution of fish-based omega-3 fatty acids.
  • Grain inclusions: Incorporates corn, rice, and wheat, which may not suit cats with grain sensitivities or allergies.
  • Generic animal fat source: Using unspecified “animal fat” raises concerns about ingredient transparency.
  • Moderate fiber level: At 2.2% crude fiber, it may not be ideal for cats requiring higher fiber for digestive or hairball control needs.

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.
