VetKriter™ Nutrition Guide
Key Nutrition Highlights
✔️
High protein content (dry matter basis %71)

May help maintain muscle mass and meet metabolic needs.

Cats are obligate carnivores and require high protein levels (NRC 2006).

✔️
High moisture content

May provide hydration support by contributing to daily fluid intake.

Wet foods may support urinary tract health, especially in cats that drink little water.

✔️
Low carbohydrate profile

Offers a low-carbohydrate content suitable for the natural dietary structure of cats.

Cats are obligate carnivores and adapt better to low-carbohydrate diets (Verbrugghe & Hesta, 2017).

Functional Components
🛡️
Antioxidants
May support the immune system and contribute to cell health.
Useful Notes
ℹ️
Crude ash ratio %42.9 (dry matter basis)

Presents a high mineral content profile. May be due to bone-containing ingredients.

ℹ️
Fiber content %7.1 (dry matter basis)

Contains a level of fiber that may support the digestive system.

Who Might This Product Be Suitable For?
• Adult cats • Individuals with high protein needs • Diets where low carbohydrate nutrition is preferred • Individuals in a weight management program

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.

35
CLASS: C
Academic Assessment

The first ingredient (water) could not be clearly classified. However, some negative factors were detected in the ingredient profile. Overall protein quality class: C (35/100).

✅ 2 animal sources appear in the first 5 ingredients.
⚠️ Plant protein concentrate was detected. It can inflate the protein ratio while offering lower bioavailability for cats.
❌ Sugar or sweeteners were detected.
