Summary
Pawpaw Adult Gourmet Lamb is a complete dry food designed for adult cats of all breeds.
Its balanced recipe emphasizes quality protein sources, such as lamb, fish meal, and chicken meat (each contributing at least 5%).
With 26% crude protein and 14% crude fat, the formula supports muscle maintenance and provides energy for active adult cats.
Omega-3 (0.2 mg/kg) and omega-6 (0.4 mg/kg) fatty acids contribute to a shiny coat and healthy skin.
It is fortified with taurine (1,000 mg/kg) and essential vitamins A, D, E, and C, which support vision, heart health, and immunity.
Including beer yeast enhances palatability and may offer digestive benefits, while rice and corn provide digestible carbohydrates for sustained energy.
Pros:
- Multiple protein sources: This product features lamb, fish, and chicken, offering a variety of high-quality protein options to support muscle maintenance.
- Digestive support: Contains beer yeast, which may improve digestion and enhance flavor.
- Vitamin-rich formula: Includes vitamin A (12,500 IU/kg), D (1,000 IU/kg), and E (80 mg/kg) to support overall health and immunity.

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.
