Summary
Happy Cat Culinary Adult Spring-Water Trout is a premium dry food formulated for adult cats 12 months and older.
The recipe features 17.5% trout meal as the primary protein source, combined with digestible carbohydrates like maize and rice.
Valuable omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids promote healthy skin and a shiny coat, while green-lipped mussels support joint health and mobility.
Infused with herbs such as rosemary and thyme, the food provides a unique taste tailored to picky eaters.
This diet includes a balanced nutrient profile, supporting vitality, digestion, and the musculoskeletal system, while its medium-sized kibble aids in easy consumption.
Pros:
- Digestive Support: Contains easily digestible ingredients like trout and rice, along with inulin from chicory for gut health.
- Skin and Coat Health: Enriched with omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, zinc, and biotin for a glossy coat and healthy skin.
- Joint Care: Green-lipped New Zealand mussels provide glycosaminoglycans to support joint health and mobility.
- Tailored for Adult Cats: Balanced protein (33%) and fat (15%) levels meet the nutritional needs of adult cats.
- Natural Ingredients: Contains natural herbs, beetroot, and yucca for added health benefits without artificial additives.
Cons:

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.

Note from the manufacturer:
The spring water trout variety did not meet the taste of your velvet paws as well as we had imagined. In any case, many cats like our dry food varieties with meat better than our variety with fish. That is why we are now saying goodbye to the spring water trout variety. For all fish lovers, we recommend our Atlantic salmon variety as an alternative.
