Summary

Leonardo Adult Light & Sterilised is formulated primarily with fresh poultry meat as its first ingredient, delivering high-quality animal protein to maintain lean muscle mass.
With a 35% crude protein level and added hydrolyzed poultry liver, it supports energy needs while helping overweight and sterilized adult cats manage their weight.
The moderate 12.5% fat content, combined with 200 mg/kg of L-carnitine, promotes efficient fat metabolism and contributes to gentle calorie control.
A specialized pH-control system helps maintain optimal urinary pH, reducing the risk of crystal formation in both indoor and outdoor cats.
The STAY-CLEAN™ complex works by minimizing plaque buildup, supporting dental hygiene, and fresh breath with every meal.
A balanced blend of rice, maize, and apple pomace provides fermentable fiber and digestible carbohydrates for healthy digestion without excessive caloric density.
Added chicory inulin and oat bran foster beneficial gut bacteria, enhancing nutrient absorption and improving stool quality.
Essential vitamins such as A, D₃, and E support vision, bone health, and antioxidative defenses, while taurine at 1,400 mg/kg safeguards heart and eye function.
Minerals are carefully balanced with a calcium-to-phosphorus ratio near 1.25:1, promoting healthy bone maintenance in adult cats.
At 3,610 kcal/kg metabolizable energy, this formulation satisfies hunger with controlled portion sizes to help restore and maintain optimal body condition.

Pros
Expand All
1

High-Quality Protein

Fresh poultry meat and poultry protein deliver essential amino acids to preserve lean muscle and support vitality.
2

Weight Management

L-carnitine and a reduced fat level work synergistically to enhance fat metabolism and maintain healthy body weight.
3

4

Dental Health

The STAY-CLEAN™ complex helps minimize plaque buildup for better oral hygiene and fresher breath.
5

Digestive Well-being

Apple pomace, chicory inulin, and oat bran provide prebiotic fiber to support beneficial gut flora and maintain optimal stool quality.
6

Balanced Minerals

A thoughtful calcium-to-phosphorus ratio and controlled sodium level support bone health and cardiovascular function.
Cons
Expand All
1

Cereal Content

The inclusion of rice and maize contributes to a 31.2% carbohydrate level, which may be suboptimal for cats requiring a low-carb diet.
2

Unspecific Omega Fatty Acids

The absence of declared omega-3 and omega-6 percentages limits assessment of anti-inflammatory and skin-support benefits.
3

Ash Level

A crude ash content of 7.8% indicates mineral residue that, in sensitive cats, could contribute to urinary sediment if intake is not balanced.
4

Sodium Content

With a sodium content of 0.4%, this formula may not be ideal for cats with sodium-restricted diets, such as those with hypertension or renal concerns.
5

No Probiotics

Although prebiotic fibers are present, the absence of live probiotic cultures may provide less direct support for gut microbiome diversity.

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.
