Summary
Reflex Plus Adult Chicken is a dry cat food specifically formulated for adult cats, featuring a chicken-based protein blend complemented by carbohydrate fillers and added fiber.
The first ingredient is dehydrated chicken protein, a rendered protein source that provides animal protein but may include variable-quality parts.
Corn and rice are the two primary ingredients that serve as carbohydrate sources, offering energy but are less digestible for obligate carnivores.
Chicken fat serves as the primary fat source and is preserved with synthetic antioxidants (E320 and E321).
Beet pulp and flaxseed are included to support digestive health, providing plant-based fiber and essential fatty acids.
The formula contains standard vitamin and mineral supplementation, but no chelated forms are included to enhance absorption.
The guaranteed analysis reports 33% protein, 14% fat, 2% fiber, 7% ash, and 10% moisture, yielding approximately 36.7% protein and 33.3% carbohydrates on a dry matter basis.
Pros:
Moderate protein level: With 33% crude protein and 10% moisture, this food delivers a dry matter protein value of approximately 36.7%, suitable for adult maintenance.
Named animal fat: Chicken fat is used as the primary fat source, contributing essential fatty acids and flavor.
Digestive support fibers: These include beet pulp and flaxseed, which provide both soluble and insoluble fiber to support healthy digestion.
B-vitamin support: Brewer’s yeast contributes additional B-vitamins, which are beneficial for skin, coat, and metabolism.
Taurine is present: Although not emphasized, taurine is part of the vitamin complex, contributing to heart and eye health.
Cons:
High carbohydrate load: Corn and rice rank highly on the ingredient list, resulting in an estimated 33.3% carbohydrates on a dry matter basis, which is excessive for carnivorous diets.
No chelated minerals: Minerals are present only in inorganic form, which limits their absorption and overall nutritional benefit.
Generic antioxidant preservatives: The food includes synthetic preservatives BHA (E320) and BHT (E321), which are less preferred than natural alternatives.
Single protein type: Dehydrated chicken is the only declared protein source, offering limited variety in amino acid profile.
Unclear protein detail: “Chicken proteins (dehydrated)” may include a mix of parts, and lacks the specificity of ingredient quality or sourcing.

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.
