Summary

Open Farm’s Kitten Grain-Free Chicken and Turkey dry cat food is formulated to support the growth and development of kittens.

The primary ingredients are humanely raised chicken and turkey, providing high-quality animal proteins essential for muscle development.

The recipe includes ocean whitefish and herring meals, contributing to a crude protein content of 40.5%.

Incorporating fiber-rich ingredients like garbanzo beans, lentils, and pumpkin aids in healthy digestion.

The addition of salmon oil supplies DHA, supporting brain and eye development.

This grain-free formula is free from artificial additives, focusing on natural, responsibly sourced ingredients.

 

Pros:

  • High Protein Content: With a crude protein level of 40.5%, sourced from chicken, turkey, ocean whitefish meal, and herring meal, this formula supports muscle growth in kittens.
  • DHA for Development: Inclusion of salmon oil provides DHA, which is crucial for healthy brain and eye development in growing kittens.
  • Digestive Health: Ingredients like garbanzo beans, lentils, and pumpkin offer dietary fiber, promoting healthy digestion.
  • Natural Ingredients: The recipe is free from artificial additives, ensuring a wholesome diet for kittens.

 

Cons:

  • Moderate Fat Content: The crude fat content is 19.5%, which may be higher than necessary for less active kittens, potentially leading to weight gain if not monitored.
  • Presence of Legumes: Contains garbanzo beans and lentils, which some kittens may be sensitive to, possibly causing digestive issues in susceptible individuals.
  • Ash Content: The crude ash content is 10.79%, representing the total mineral content; monitoring mineral intake is advisable for kittens with specific health concerns.
  • Grain-Free Formula: While beneficial for some, a grain-free diet may not be necessary for all kittens and could be a consideration for pet owners.

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.
