Summary

Nutrience Grain Free: Turkey, Chicken & Herring is a high-protein, grain-free dry cat food for cats of all breeds and life stages.

The formula includes deboned turkey, chicken meal, and turkey meal as primary animal protein sources, with deboned chicken, deboned herring, and eggs for additional protein variety.

It is rich in antioxidants and phytonutrients, and it is a good source of wholesome fruits and vegetables, such as pumpkin, sweet potatoes, and blueberries.

It features a crude protein content of 40% and fat content of 18%, supporting active or sensitive cats.

The formula also includes omega fatty acids, glucosamine, and probiotics for joint, coat, and digestive health and is free of grains and gluten.

 

Pros:

  • High-Protein Content: Contains 40% protein from diverse animal sources, supporting muscle growth and overall health.
  • Joint and Coat Health: Glucosamine (800 mg/kg), chondroitin sulfate (400 mg/kg), and omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids promote joint health, skin health, and a shiny coat.
  • Digestive Support: Contains probiotics (225 million CFU/lb) and chicory root extract for gut health and improved nutrient absorption.
  • Antioxidant-Rich: Fruits and vegetables like cranberries, apples, and spinach provide phytonutrients and immune system support.
  • Grain-Free and Gluten-Free: Free of grains, making it suitable for cats with grain sensitivities or allergies.

 

Cons:

  • Moderate Fat Content: While 18% fat benefits active cats, it may be excessive for overweight or sedentary cats.
  • Higher Ash Content: At 7.5%, the ash level may not suit cats prone to urinary health issues.
  • Complex Ingredient List: The extensive ingredient list may not appeal to owners preferring simpler formulas.
  • Taurine Level: Taurine is listed at 0.15%, which is within AAFCO standards but may be lower than some premium formulas.

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.
