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 main protein source of this food is animal meat (deboned lamb). Animal protein is a high-quality, highly bioavailable source for cats and dogs. However, some negative factors were detected in the ingredient profile. Overall protein quality class: A+ (90/100).
