The formula includes 27% chicken meal and 4% salmon meal, supported by 4% rice and 1% fish oil, resulting in a total crude protein of 30% and 11% fat for moderate energy levels.
Prebiotics MOS, beet pulp, and brewer’s yeast (3%) promote gut flora stability, aiding in nutrient absorption and overall digestive health.
Marine algae (0.5%) contribute essential trace minerals and antioxidants to enhance coat condition and skin resilience.
Taurine, at 1,170 mg/kg, supports heart function and vision, while vitamins A and E, selenium, and copper support immune defense.
Omega-3 and omega-6 from fish oil support neurological and skin health, though exact levels are not provided.
The food contains 7.5% crude ash and 2.2% fiber, and is free of added sugars, artificial flavors, or colorants.
Pros:
Digestive support: Prebiotics (MOS), beet pulp, and brewer’s yeast enhance gut flora and nutrient uptake.
Balanced protein and fat: 30% protein and 11% fat provide suitable energy and muscle maintenance for sensitive adult cats.
Skin and coat care: Marine algae and fish oil supply natural omega-3 and 6, supporting dermal and coat health.
Immune and vision function: High taurine and antioxidant vitamins help maintain systemic health and vision.
Urinary pH balance: Controlled mineral levels support urinary tract health by regulating pH and minimizing crystal formation.
Cons:
Low salmon content: Despite the product name, salmon makes up only 4% of the formula.
Includes grains and maize: Contains wheat and maize, which may not be suitable for grain-sensitive cats.
No joint-support nutrients: Does not include glucosamine or chondroitin, which could benefit aging or joint-sensitive cats.
Omega levels not quantified: Omega-3 and 6 ratios are not specified, limiting insight into anti-inflammatory capacity.

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.
