Summary
Reflex Plus Adult Cat Food with Lamb & Rice is a dry food specifically designed for adult cats, intended to support weight maintenance and overall health.
The primary protein source is dehydrated lamb protein, followed by unspecified dehydrated animal proteins, which may vary in quality and species origin.
Corn and rice are the primary carbohydrate sources, offering energy but with limited digestibility for cats.
Chicken fat is used as the primary fat source, preserved with synthetic antioxidants (E320 and E321).
Beet pulp and flaxseed contribute both soluble and insoluble fibers for digestion and minor omega-3 content.
Brewer’s yeast adds B-vitamins, while Yucca schidigera supports stool odor control.
The guaranteed analysis includes 32% protein, 14% fat, 2.5% fiber, 8% ash, and 10% moisture, resulting in approximately 35.6% protein and 34% carbohydrates on a dry matter basis.
Pros:
Animal protein sources: Dehydrated lamb and animal proteins contribute to the animal protein base, providing support for lean muscle maintenance.
Moderate protein level: With 32% crude protein and 10% moisture, the formula reaches approximately 35.6% protein on a dry matter basis.
Functional fat and fiber: Chicken fat provides essential fatty acids, while beet pulp and flaxseed aid digestion and offer minor omega support.
Supplemented taurine: Taurine is added at 1,500 mg/kg, covering the essential requirement for heart and eye function.
Prebiotics and yeast: Xylo-oligosaccharides and brewers’ yeast may support gut health and nutrient metabolism.
Cons:
Unspecified animal proteins: The use of non-detailed “animal proteins” after lamb raises concerns about ingredient quality and sourcing transparency.
High carbohydrate content: With corn and rice as primary ingredients, the carbohydrate content is approximately 34% on a dry matter basis, which is excessive for obligate carnivores.
Synthetic preservatives used: The inclusion of BHA (E320) and BHT (E321) is a notable drawback due to potential long-term health risks.
No chelated minerals: Only standard inorganic mineral forms are listed, which may limit absorption efficiency.
Single-named meat protein: Lamb is the only specifically named animal protein, reducing amino acid diversity in the overall profile.

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.
