Summary
Happy Cat Culinary Adult Farm Duck Grain-Free is a dry cat food formulated for adult cats, particularly those with sensitivities to grains.
Duck protein (20%) is the primary animal ingredient, offering a digestible and flavorful protein source to support muscle health.
Potatoes and flaked peas provide carbohydrates instead of grains, supporting energy needs while minimizing digestive stress.
The crude fat content is 15%, sourced from oils and fats, which contribute essential fatty acids for skin health and coat condition.
The formula includes apple pomace, chicory powder (0.15%), and beet pulp to promote healthy digestion through natural prebiotic fibers.
Vitamins A (15,000 IU), D3 (900 IU), and E (110 mg), along with taurine (1,000 mg/kg), support immune function, vision, and heart health.
Omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids are present at 3.0% and 0.3% respectively, promoting coat luster and reducing inflammation.
DL-methionine (4,000 mg/kg) is included to help maintain urinary health by supporting optimal urine pH levels.
Pros:
Grain-free formula: Ideal for cats with grain sensitivities or intolerances, using alternative carbohydrates like potatoes and peas.
Quality protein content: Contains 20% duck protein and 33% crude protein overall to support muscle mass and maintenance.
Supports digestion: Includes beet pulp, apple pomace, and inulin-rich chicory powder to promote gut health and regularity.
Fatty acid balance: Contains 3.0% omega-6 and 0.3% omega-3 fatty acids for healthy skin and a shiny coat.
Cons:
Moderate ash content: At 7.5%, crude ash may need monitoring in cats prone to urinary or kidney sensitivities.
Broad protein sources: Includes unspecified “animal protein” and “meat meal,” which may reduce transparency for sensitive diets.
Not high in omega-3: Though present, omega-3 content (0.3%) is relatively low compared to some other formulas.
Lacks precise duck breakdown: Total duck percentage beyond the 20% protein is not detailed, limiting insight into the formula’s composition.

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.
