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 (7.65%) via standard estimate was used. This is done to ensure fair score comparison between labeling regimes.
In calculations dry food standard moisture value for was used.

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.
