Summary
Happy Cat Senior Atlantic Salmon is a carefully balanced dry food designed for cats 10 years of age and older.
With Atlantic salmon as a key ingredient, this formula provides high omega-3 fatty acids to support healthy skin and a shiny coat.
The protein and mineral levels are adjusted to reduce strain on aging organs, supporting overall health and kidney function.
Enhanced with glycosaminoglycans from New Zealand green-lipped mussels, this recipe promotes joint health and mobility for senior cats.
Essential vitamins and trace minerals, such as zinc, iron, and copper, cater to the unique metabolic needs of senior cats.
Pros:
- Joint Support: This supplement includes New Zealand green-lipped mussel, glucosamine, and herbs to support joint mobility and reduce stiffness.
- Coat and Skin Health: Rich in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, along with zinc and vitamin B, to promote a shiny coat and healthy skin.
- Organ Support: Adjusted levels of phosphorus, calcium, and sodium help protect kidney function and overall organ health.

Cons:

- Relatively Low Omega-3 Content: The 0.3% omega-3 content may not be sufficient for cats requiring extensive anti-inflammatory support.
- Potential Allergen Sources: This product contains maize, rice, and dried eggs, which may trigger sensitivities in some cats.

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.
