Summary
Dicat Up Adult Chicken and Rice is a high-quality, complete food formulated for adult cats of all breeds.
The recipe features 38% dehydrated chicken protein and 25% rice, offering a balanced mix of highly digestible proteins and carbohydrates for muscle development and sustained energy.
Enhanced with L-Carnitine, the formula supports metabolism and weight management, making it suitable for active cats.
Natural plant extracts, such as chamomile, rosemary, and yucca, provide digestive aid, stress relief, and antioxidant benefits.
Chondroitin sulfate, glucosamine, and MSM are included to promote joint health and mobility.
Omega fatty acids from blue fish oil ensure cardiovascular support and contribute to a shiny coat and healthy skin.
Pros:
- High Protein Content: Crude protein of 35% from premium chicken ensures optimal muscle maintenance and growth.
- Joint Health Support: Includes 300 mg/kg of chondroitin and 200 mg/kg of glucosamine, enhancing joint and cartilage health.
- Digestive Aid: Prebiotic fibers from beet pulp and chicory (inulin) support gut health and nutrient absorption.
- Rich in Omega Fatty Acids: Balanced Omega-3 (0.26%) and Omega-6 (2.14%) fatty acids improve skin and coat health while supporting cardiovascular function.
- Natural Antioxidants: Rosemary and tocopherols act as natural preservatives while reducing oxidative stress.
Cons:
- High-Fat Content: Due to health concerns, the crude fat level of 15% may not be ideal for cats requiring lower-fat diets.
- Fiber Levels: A crude fiber content of 3.5% might be insufficient for cats needing enhanced fiber intake for specific digestive or hairball management needs.
- Caloric Density: With a metabolizable energy of 3,568 kcal/kg, careful portion control is required to prevent weight gain in less active cats.
- Ash Content: The crude ash percentage of 7.5% may not suit cats needing diets with reduced mineral content 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.
