Summary

JosiCat Crunchy Chicken is formulated for adult cats, offering a complete and balanced diet with a focus on poultry. It contains 28% protein, primarily from 25% dried poultry protein, with 78% of the total protein being animal-derived. Essential fatty acids, vitamins, and trace elements support a glossy coat and healthy skin. The formula is free from soy, sugar, and artificial additives, making it a nutritious option for indoor and outdoor cats.

 

Pros:

  1. High Animal Protein: Contains 78% animal-based protein, including 25% dried poultry protein, promoting muscle maintenance.
  2. Low Fat Content: With a fat content of 9%, it’s suitable for cats needing a lower-fat diet.
  3. Added Taurine: Includes 1,000 mg/kg of taurine, essential for heart and vision health.

 

Cons:

  1. Moderate Protein Level: At 28%, it might be lower than some high-protein alternatives for active cats.
  2. Higher Ash Content: Contains 7.4% crude ash, which might be a concern for some cat owners regarding kidney health.
  3. Grain-Inclusive: Includes grains, which may not be suitable for cats with specific grain sensitivities.

Comments

Notes

Information about antioxidants and preservatives is missing or insufficient. Since I didn’t want to remove points due to this missing info without any proof, I evaluated this food assuming the natural preservatives were used. But note that this is just an assumption.
Ingredients in this food are listed as categories rather than specific named products. This EU permitted method doesn’t allow me a proper evaluation of the food since I usually don’t have any indication of the real quality of ingredients in each listed category. Therefore I evaluate each such category as the corresponding ingredient of the worst quality: cereals = corn, meat and meat derivatives = partial by-product + unknown source of the meat, oils and fats = unknown source of the fat.

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.
