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
This food is marketed by the manufacturer as a therapeutic diet formulated for obesity and weight management. Weight-control diets typically aim for lower energy density and higher fiber support. Refer to the manufacturer for the exact formulation details.
