Summary

Picart Select Kitten Chicken and Rice is a complete dry cat food formulated for kittens up to 12 months old.

The primary ingredient is dehydrated chicken meat (40%), providing a high-quality source of animal protein essential for growth.

Rice is included as an easily digestible carbohydrate to support energy needs during this critical developmental stage.

With a crude protein content of 36% and crude fat at 20%, this formula meets the nutritional requirements of active, growing kittens.

The addition of prebiotic MOS supports digestive health by promoting beneficial gut bacteria.

Essential nutrients, such as taurine (1,720 mg/kg), are included to support vital functions such as vision and heart health.

 

Pros:

  • High-quality protein source: Dehydrated chicken meat (40%) ensures a rich supply of essential amino acids for muscle development.
  • Digestible carbohydrates: Rice provides easily digestible energy and is suitable for kittens’ sensitive stomachs.
  • Balanced fat content: A 20% crude fat level supports a healthy coat and provides the necessary energy.
  • Digestive support: Prebiotic MOS fosters a healthy gut microbiome, enhancing nutrient absorption.
  • Essential amino acids: Taurine inclusion at 1,720 mg/kg supports cardiovascular and ocular health.

 

Cons:

  • Moderate fiber content: Crude fiber at 1.5% may not provide sufficient fiber for kittens prone to hairballs or digestive issues.
  • Potential allergens: Contains ingredients like dehydrated egg and yeast extracts, which could be allergens for some kittens.
  • Use of dried plasma: The inclusion of dried plasma may be a concern for owners looking to avoid animal by-products.

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.
