Summary
Matisse Neutered Salmon is a complete and balanced dry food designed to meet the specific nutritional needs of sterilized adult cats.
The recipe’s primary ingredient is 32% dehydrated salmon protein, which provides high-quality animal protein to maintain lean muscle mass.
With 25% rice and 8% pea fiber, it offers digestible carbohydrates and fiber to promote healthy digestion and maintain an ideal weight.
The addition of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids from fish oil supports cardiovascular health, skin regeneration, and a shiny coat.
The product’s crude protein content is 31%, and 11% of it is fat, making it suitable for maintaining the weight and energy levels of less active neutered cats.
Taurine (1,800 mg/kg) and L-carnitine (250 mg/kg) are included to support heart health, vision, and efficient fat metabolism.
Free from artificial colors, the formula uses natural ingredients and microcrystalline cellulose as a technological additive.
Pros:
- High salmon content: 32% dehydrated salmon provides a rich source of protein and essential fatty acids.
- Weight management: The moderate fat content (11%) and L-carnitine help sterilized cats maintain a healthy weight.
- Digestive health: Pea fiber (8%) and psyllium husks aid in promoting smooth digestion and reducing hairballs.
- Essential nutrients: Includes taurine and omega-3 for heart health and a shiny coat.
- No artificial colors: The recipe uses natural ingredients to ensure safety and quality.
Cons:
- Moderate protein level: At 31%, it may not meet the protein needs of highly active or muscular 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.
