The recipe features fresh minced duck meat as the primary protein source, offering high-quality, easily digestible animal protein.
Natural insoluble fiber aids intestinal health by promoting the gentle removal of fur, helping to prevent the formation of hairballs.
It includes the Immunity Support Mix complex, enriched with herbs, berries, antioxidants, and prebiotics to strengthen immunity and overall health.
Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids, zinc, and biotin contribute to healthy skin and a shiny coat, while 68.90% of the protein content is derived from animal sources.
This formula is manufactured under veterinary supervision using advanced Swiss nutrition technology, ensuring high-quality ingredients and optimal health benefits.
Pros:
- Effective Hairball Management: Contains natural insoluble fiber to promote the smooth removal of fur from the digestive tract, reducing hairball formation.
- High-Quality Protein: Composed of 34% crude protein, primarily from duck and hydrolyzed chicken liver, ensuring easy digestibility and lean muscle maintenance.

Cons:
- Fiber Levels: Contains 5.5% crude fiber, which may be excessive for cats not requiring targeted hairball support or higher fiber diets.
- Moderate Fat Content: The 16% crude fat content may not suit cats needing lower-fat options for weight control.
- Carbohydrate Sources: These include rice and corn, which may not align with cat owners’ preference for a grain-free diet for their 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.
