Summary
Dicat Up Sterilized & Low Caloric Turkey & Rice is a complete and balanced dry food tailored for sterilized adult cats or cats with low activity levels.
The recipe features 27% poultry (15% dehydrated turkey, 9% dehydrated chicken, and 3% ultra-hydrolyzed chicken liver) as a high-quality protein source to maintain muscle tone.
Brown rice (4%) and potatoes offer digestible carbohydrates for sustained energy while aiding in digestion.
Enriched with Omega-3 fatty acids and salmon oil, the formula promotes cardiovascular health, a glossy coat, and healthy skin.
Natural plant extracts, such as chamomile, lemon balm, and rosemary, enhance digestion, provide calming benefits, and act as natural antioxidants.
The inclusion of yucca extract supports detoxification and reduces stool odor, while added fiber aids in satiety for weight management.
Pros:
- Protein Quality: Features 28% crude protein, focusing on lean turkey and chicken to support muscle maintenance in sterilized cats.
- Weight Management: The low-fat (12%) and high-fiber (4.5%) composition helps control weight, making it ideal for less active cats.
- Digestive Support: This product contains prebiotic fibers, such as chicory root (inulin), and plant extracts, which promote gut health and nutrient absorption.
- Joint Health: Enriched with methionine (0.9%) to support joint mobility and overall musculoskeletal health.
- Skin and Coat Care: Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids improve skin health and coat shine, enhancing overall appearance.
Cons:
- Lower Protein Levels: The 28% protein content may not meet the needs of highly active or growing cats requiring higher protein intake.
- Calcium Content: At 1.8%, the calcium level might need monitoring for cats with specific urinary health concerns.
- Sodium Level: A low sodium content (0.11%) might require supplementation in cases where higher sodium intake is beneficial, such as in certain hydration therapies.

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.
