Summary
Reflex Plus Kitten with Chicken is a dry food formulated for kittens aged 2 to 12 months, designed to meet their high energy and developmental needs.
The first ingredient is dehydrated chicken protein, offering a concentrated source of animal protein for growing muscles.
Corn and rice appear early in the list, contributing digestible carbohydrates, although they are less suitable for carnivorous species.
Chicken fat provides energy and essential fatty acids, preserved with synthetic antioxidants (BHA and BHT).
Flaxseed offers plant-based omega-3s, while beet pulp adds fermentable fiber for digestive health.
L-carnitine is included to support healthy weight gain and energy utilization during growth.
Taurine is added at 1,500 mg/kg, along with a broad spectrum of vitamins and standard inorganic minerals.
The guaranteed analysis reports 36% protein, 18% fat, 2% fiber, 8% ash, and 10% moisture, resulting in dry matter values of approximately 40% protein and 32% carbohydrates.
Pros:
High protein level: With 36% protein and 10% moisture, the food delivers about 40% protein on a dry matter basis, supporting growth and development in kittens.
Animal protein source: Dehydrated chicken protein is the first ingredient, providing a concentrated form of digestible animal protein.
Added taurine and L-carnitine: Taurine supports heart and eye development, while L-carnitine helps metabolize fat during a high-growth phase.
Digestive support fibers: Beet pulp and flaxseed support intestinal health and contribute omega-3s for skin and coat condition.
Wide vitamin spectrum: Includes a full suite of A, D3, E, C, and B-vitamins to aid in immune system development and overall metabolic health.
Cons:
High carbohydrate content: The combination of corn and rice yields approximately 32% carbohydrates on a dry matter basis, high for an obligate carnivore.
Single meat source: Only chicken is declared as the protein, limiting amino acid diversity from other animal types.
Synthetic preservatives: Contains BHA (E320) and BHT (E321), which are generally discouraged in high-quality feline nutrition.
No chelated minerals: All minerals are included in inorganic forms like sulfates, reducing bioavailability.
Unspecified plant content: Some ingredients like “liver aroma” and unspecified grain type introduce ambiguity in ingredient quality.

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.
