Cons
Expand All
1

Lower Fiber Content

The 4% fiber content might not satisfy cats that require higher fiber levels for digestive support, particularly if they have gastrointestinal sensitivities.
2

Fat Content

At 16%, the crude fat level may not be ideal for cats that require lower fat intake, such as those prone to weight gain or those on a calorie-controlled diet.
3

Grain-Inclusive Formula

Although grains are a common source of carbohydrates, they might not be suitable for cats with grain allergies or those on grain-free diets, potentially limiting the product’s appeal for such cats.
4

Moderate Carbohydrates

Grains contribute to a carbohydrate content that may not align with the dietary preferences of strictly grain-free diets, particularly if focusing on a low-carb approach.

Provide as many details as possible about Acana: Homestead Harvest (APAC) so we can make it better!

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.
