Summary
ORIJEN™ Fit & Trim is a high-protein, grain-free dry cat food designed for adult cats, particularly those needing weight management support.
It contains 85% animal ingredients, including fresh or raw chicken (20%), chicken giblets (11%), raw whole herring (8%), raw turkey (6%), and raw whole hake (5%).
WholePrey inclusions, such as organs and bones, contribute to a biologically appropriate diet rich in essential amino acids, vitamins, and minerals.
Legumes, including lentils, peas, and chickpeas, provide fiber and plant-based protein, helping to regulate digestion and energy release.
The recipe is freeze-dried coated, enhancing palatability and mimicking the taste of raw food.
With 42% crude protein and 15% crude fat, it supports lean muscle maintenance while controlling excess calories.
A balance of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids from fish oils and algae promotes skin and coat health.
Including L-carnitine (33 mg/kg) aids in fat metabolism, helping sterilized and overweight cats maintain optimal body weight.
Pros:
High animal protein content: 42% crude protein from fresh and raw meats and fish supports lean muscle mass and overall health.
Weight management support: L-carnitine (33 mg/kg) and a lower fat content (15%) help with fat metabolism and maintaining a healthy weight.
Omega fatty acids for skin and coat: 2.4% omega-6s and 1% omega-3s, including DHA (0.3%) and EPA (0.2%), support skin hydration and coat shine.
Grain-free and high-fiber: The 6% crude fiber from lentils, chickpeas, and apple fiber aids digestion and promotes satiety.
Natural antioxidants and probiotics: Rosemary, turmeric, kelp, and prebiotic fiber support immune health and gut function.
Cons:
Higher crude ash content: 10% crude ash may concern cats needing lower mineral intake.
Complex protein sources: Multiple poultry and fish ingredients may not be ideal for cats with specific food sensitivities.
Legume-heavy formula: Includes lentils, chickpeas, and beans, which some cats may not digest efficiently.
Caloric density requires portion control: At 3,710 kcal/kg, it is energy-dense, so it requires careful feeding for less active 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.
