Summary
Dibaq Sense Sterilized Chicken & Duck is a grain-free dry cat food specifically formulated for sterilized cats or those prone to weight gain.
The recipe features 40% fresh meats, including 20% fresh chicken and 20% fresh duck, complemented by 35% dehydrated chicken for high-quality animal protein.
With a guaranteed 35% crude protein and 12% crude fat, this formula supports lean muscle maintenance while helping to manage weight.
The inclusion of fresh fruits and vegetables, such as mushrooms, blueberries, mango, and apple (4%), provides natural antioxidants, vitamins, and fiber for overall well-being.
Joint protectors, including glucosamine, chondroitin, and MSM, support mobility, while the renal complex (DL-methionine, blueberry, and citrus extracts) promotes kidney health.
L-carnitine aids fat metabolism, while salmon oil (0.5%) supplies omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids for a healthy coat and skin.
Pros:
- High-Quality Animal Protein: Contains 75% animal-origin ingredients, 40% fresh meats, and 35% dehydrated chicken, providing 35% crude protein to maintain lean muscle.
- Weight Management Support: L-carnitine promotes fat metabolism, and the 12% crude fat content is controlled for sterilized or overweight-prone cats.
- Joint and Kidney Health: Includes glucosamine, chondroitin, and MSM for joint health, along with a renal complex to support kidney function.
- Omega Fatty Acids: Salmon oil (0.5%) provides omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, promoting skin and coat health.
- Natural Antioxidants and Prebiotics: Fresh fruits, vegetables, and prebiotic chicory root (source of inulin) support immune health and digestion.
- Hypoallergenic and Grain-Free: Formulated without grains to reduce the risk of allergies or intolerances, making it ideal for sensitive cats.
Cons:
- Moderate Protein Levels: At 35%, the protein content is sufficient but slightly lower than some high-protein formulas for sterilized cats.
- Controlled Fat Content: While weight management benefits, 12% crude fat may not provide enough energy for very active cats.
- Low Omega-3 Levels: Salmon oil inclusion is minimal (0.5%), potentially limiting omega-3 benefits for cats needing additional skin and coat support.
- Carbohydrate Content: Ingredients like cassava and peas contribute to carbohydrates, which may not align with the low-carb needs of obligate carnivores.
- Fiber Content: With 4% crude fiber, the formula may be too high for cats with sensitive digestive systems.

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.
