Summary
Fitmin: For Life – Castrate with Chicken is a complete dry food formulated for neutered and sterilized adult cats to support weight management and overall health.
The recipe’s primary protein sources are dried chicken meat (34.5%) and fresh chicken meat (25%), with hydrolyzed chicken protein (3.8%).
It includes rice and oats for digestible carbohydrates, along with salmon oil (1%) for omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants for immunity support.
The formula provides a crude protein content of 33% and fat content of 15%, offering balanced nutrition for sterilized cats with controlled energy needs.
With 85% of the proteins derived from animal origins, it is designed to be highly digestible and palatable.
Pros:
- High Animal Protein Content: 85% of the proteins are of animal origin, primarily from chicken, supporting muscle maintenance and optimal digestibility.
- Immunity Support: Antioxidants and beta-glucans from yeast help strengthen the immune system and slow down cell aging.
- Omega-3 Rich: Salmon oil contributes omega-3 fatty acids for skin health, a shiny coat, and reduced inflammation.
- Digestive Health: Ingredients like chicory root, psyllium, and beet fiber provide natural fiber for improved digestion.
- Weight Management: Controlled fat levels (15%) and the inclusion of oats and rice support healthy weight management for sterilized cats.
Cons:
- Moderate Magnesium Content: At 0.088%, the magnesium level may require monitoring for cats with urinary sensitivities.
- Plant-Based Ingredients: The inclusion of rice, oats, and peas may dilute the animal-derived nutrient density.
- Hydrolyzed Protein: While it enhances digestibility, hydrolyzed chicken protein is less desirable compared to whole meat.
- No Specific Taurine Amount Stated: Although taurine is likely present, its absence from the composition details may concern some owners.

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.
