Useful Notes
Cats adapt better to low-carbohydrate diets. This ratio may need to be evaluated from a digestive or metabolic perspective in some cats.
For carbohydrate calculation, a crude ash estimate (3.20%) via brand average (5 products) was used. This is done to ensure fair score comparison between labeling regimes.
Who Might This Product Be Suitable For?
Note: This information is advisory, not a prescription. Consult your veterinarian for special nutritional needs.
Protein Quality Index
This index evaluates protein source quality, clarity, and bioavailability rather than the crude protein percentage on the label. A lower result may indicate greater reliance on cereals, by-products, or plant concentrates, so it should be read together with the overall VetKriter score and the product's intended use.
Academic Assessment
The first ingredient in this food is plant-based (corn). Plant proteins generally have lower bioavailability for carnivorous animals. Overall protein quality class: C (35/100).
