Functional Components
Useful Notes
Cats are obligate carnivores with high protein needs. This product alone may not be sufficient for active cats or those with high protein requirements.
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 (4.93%) via standard estimate 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 (water) could not be clearly classified. Overall protein quality class: B (55/100).
