Summary

N&D Ancestral Grain – Chicken, Spelt, Oats, and Pomegranate is a dry cat food designed to meet the nutritional needs of adult cats.

The primary ingredient is fresh boneless chicken, providing a high-quality and digestible source of animal protein.

Dehydrated chicken and herring increase protein concentration, with 94% of the protein content coming from animal sources.

Whole spelt and oats serve as low-glycemic carbohydrate sources, offering sustained energy.

Dried pomegranate, blueberries, and sweet orange provide natural antioxidants to support immune function.

The formula contains omega-6 (3.3%) and omega-3 (0.9%) fatty acids to promote skin hydration and coat health.

Guaranteed analysis includes 36% crude protein and 20% crude fat, providing an energy-dense formula for active adult cats.

Pros:

  • High animal protein content: Contains 36% crude protein, with 94% derived from animal sources, supporting lean muscle maintenance.

  • Low-glycemic carbohydrates: Whole spelt and oats provide sustained energy while helping to regulate blood sugar levels.

  • Antioxidant support: Dried pomegranate, blueberries, and sweet orange supply natural antioxidants for immune system health.

  • Skin and coat health: Provides omega-6 (3.3%) and omega-3 (0.9%) fatty acids to support skin hydration and a shiny coat.

Cons:

  • High fat content: With 20% crude fat, this food may not be suitable for less active or overweight cats.

  • Moderate ash content: Contains 8.1% crude ash, which may require hydration management for cats prone to urinary issues.

  • Limited fiber content: With only 1.9% crude fiber, it may not provide sufficient digestive support for cats needing a higher fiber intake.

  • Inclusion of grains: While ancestral grains are used, spelt and oats may not be suitable for cats with grain sensitivities.

Provide as many details as possible about N&D [Natural & Delicious]: Ancestral Grain – Chicken, spelt, oats and pomegranate so we can make it better!

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.
