Summary
Happy Cat Care Skin & Coat is a dry cat food formulated for adult cats from 1 year of age, specifically designed to support skin and coat health.
The primary animal protein source is chicken protein (22%), of which 40% is chicken meat. This provides easily digestible protein for muscle maintenance and skin function.
Salmon meal (5%) enhances the omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acid content, supporting skin hydration, coat shine, and reducing inflammation.
Carbohydrates are provided by rice and potatoes, offering digestible energy without gluten or wheat.
Linseed, birch, and rosemary are included to promote skin metabolism and support the coat’s condition during seasonal changes and periods of stress.
Prebiotics from chicory powder and yucca schidigera contribute to gut health and nutrient absorption, supporting overall skin and immune function.
The guaranteed analysis includes 34% crude protein and 15% crude fat, making it suitable for maintaining lean body mass and coat health in adult cats.
Pros:
High protein content: Contains 34% crude protein from chicken and salmon sources, supporting muscle maintenance and healthy skin.
Rich in omega fatty acids: Includes 4.0% omega-6 and 0.4% omega-3, promoting coat shine, skin hydration, and reducing skin irritation.
Skin metabolism support: Enriched with vitamins A, B complex, biotin (485 mcg/kg), and zinc (100 mg/kg) to enhance skin and coat health.
Digestive health and prebiotics: This supplement contains chicory powder and yucca schidigera to promote beneficial gut bacteria and improve nutrient utilization.
Cons:
Moderate fat content: With 15% crude fat, it may not provide enough energy for very active cats or those with higher caloric needs.
Inclusion of plant proteins: The formula includes hydrolyzed protein and plant-based ingredients, which might not be ideal for obligate carnivores requiring animal-based proteins.
Higher ash content: Contains 8% crude ash, which may require careful hydration management in cats prone to urinary issues.
Limited fish protein content: While salmon meal is present, the fish content is lower than that of other formulas targeting skin and coat 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.
