Summary

Reflex Chicken and Rice Kitten Food is a dry formula tailored to the developmental needs of growing kittens.
It focuses on digestibility, immune support, and muscular development.
The first ingredient is processed chicken protein (45%), which provides a high-concentration animal protein source to support the rapid growth and muscle development of kittens.
Grains such as rice (10%) and corn serve as the primary carbohydrate sources, offering digestible energy but potentially posing an issue for kittens with grain sensitivities.
Functional ingredients include flaxseed for skin and coat health, brewer’s yeast and whey powder for immune support, and beet pulp and wheat bran for digestive fiber.
The formula features MOS (mannan oligosaccharides) and CitriStim yeast, which provide prebiotics and beta-glucans to aid intestinal health and immune function.
The guaranteed analysis reveals 37% crude protein, 20% crude fat, 3% crude fiber, and 8% ash, aligned with the high energy and nutrient demands of kittens under 12 months.
Vitamins A (18,000 IU), D3 (1,500 IU), E (200 mg), and C (400 mg) are present alongside essential minerals such as iron (200 mg/kg), zinc (140 mg/kg), and selenium (0.3 mg/kg) for systemic development and antioxidant protection.

Pros
Expand All
1

High protein and fat levels

With 37% protein and 20% fat, the formula provides the dense nutritional energy required for rapid growth, organ development, and kitten play activity.
2

Primary animal protein source

Processed chicken protein (45%) offers concentrated animal-based protein for optimal amino acid supply during growth phases.
3

Functional digestive support

MOS, CitriStim yeast, and beet pulp support gut flora, nutrient absorption, and immune readiness in young kittens.
4

Omega-rich for coat health

Flaxseed provides omega-3 and -6 fatty acids that support healthy skin and a shiny coat during the developmental stage.
5

Strong vitamin and antioxidant profile

High levels of vitamins A, E, C, and K3 provide cellular protection, support visual and skeletal development, and enhance immune function.
6

Yucca for waste control

Yucca schidigera is included to reduce stool odor and ammonia, aiding in litter box hygiene and nutrient absorption.
Cons
Expand All
1

Use of generic grains

This product contains rice, corn, and wheat bran, which may be unsuitable for kittens with grain allergies or for owners seeking grain-free nutrition.
2

High ash content

At 8%, the ash level reflects a relatively dense mineral profile, which may require monitoring in long-term feeding scenarios.
3

No fresh meat

Despite high protein content, the formula does not include fresh meat, relying solely on processed chicken protein as the animal source.
4

Inclusion of synthetic preservatives

Contains antioxidants BHA (E320) and BHT (E321), which are permitted but often avoided in premium or natural formulations.
5

Unspecified liver source

The “liver flavor” listed does not clarify the species or quality of liver used, reducing ingredient transparency.

How the score is calculated?

The actual calculation of the score is based on sophisticated and advanced algorithm that takes into account multiple parameters.

To simplify the explanation, the calculation is based on three main criteria:

(1) Amount of protein (more is better)

(2) Amount of carbohydrates (less is better)

(3) Quality and source of ingredients.

Based on that 3 main criteria, 9 score calculation rules are used to compare the different foods.

One major assumption is that the closer an ingredient is to the top of the ingredient list, the greater its relative weight and contribution to the food.

In general, cat food is composed of protein, fats, carbohydrates, fibers, vitamins, and minerals.

Protein is the most important component in a cat's diet, and cats primarily get their protein from animal meat.

Fat is a primary source of energy and essential fatty acids.

Carbohydrates are controversial in a cat's diet, as cats are obligate carnivores and typically consume very few carbohydrates.

Fibers play an important role in digestion and food absorption, and vitamins and minerals are essential for different organism functions.

Dry matter values are used to compare the amount of nutrients in different cat foods. This means that moisture is excluded from the equation to provide a more accurate comparison.

Putting all of these and more into a formula results in a product score.

The maximum score a cat food can receive is 100. Points are added or removed based on the score calculation rules.
