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 in this food is plant-based (brewers rice). Plant proteins generally have lower bioavailability for carnivorous animals. However, some negative factors were detected in the ingredient profile. Overall protein quality class: D (30/100).
