Summary

Acana Indoor Entree (APAC) is a dry cat food specifically formulated for adult indoor cats, focusing on supporting weight control, digestive health, and hairball reduction through a high-protein, fiber-rich recipe.
The first ingredient is fresh chicken, a high-quality, animal-based protein source that provides essential amino acids for muscle maintenance and overall vitality in less active indoor cats.
Dehydrated chicken meat and dehydrated herring further enhance the protein density, contributing to the product’s 37% crude protein content, which supports lean body mass and satiety.
Whole oats, lentils, chickpeas, and miscanthus grass supply both soluble and insoluble fibers that aid in hairball control and promote regular digestion.
Chicken fat serves as a concentrated energy source and provides omega-6 fatty acids, which support skin health and a shiny coat.
The inclusion of L-carnitine (50 mg/kg) helps metabolize fat, assisting in maintaining a healthy body weight for indoor cats with lower energy expenditure.
Omega-3 fatty acids, including DHA (0.2%) and EPA (0.1%), contribute to anti-inflammatory support, cognitive function, and skin barrier integrity.
Probiotic Enterococcus faecium (600 million CFU/kg) supports gut microbiota balance, enhancing digestive efficiency and immune resilience.
Fresh fruits and vegetables, such as pumpkin, butternut squash, cranberries, and blueberries, provide natural sources of antioxidants and phytonutrients that support cellular health.
Essential vitamins and chelated minerals, such as zinc proteinate and copper, are included to ensure nutrient bioavailability and support immune, skin, and metabolic functions.

Pros
Expand All
1

High animal protein content

65% animal ingredients, including fresh and dehydrated meats, support muscle maintenance and satiety in indoor cats.
2

Effective hairball control

Multiple fiber sources, such as miscanthus grass, oat groats, and lentil fiber, help reduce hairball formation by promoting gastrointestinal transit.
3

Weight management support

A balanced fat-to-protein ratio and the inclusion of L-carnitine aid in fat metabolism and help prevent weight gain in less active cats.
4

Digestive health support

Probiotics and fermentable fibers enhance gut flora balance and improve stool quality.
5

Rich in omega fatty acids

including omega-3 (0.5%) and omega-6 (2%), which support skin hydration, coat condition, and anti-inflammatory processes.
6

Antioxidant-rich produce

Ingredients like cranberries, blueberries, and pumpkin provide natural antioxidants that help protect cells from oxidative stress.
Cons
Expand All
1

High ash content

At 9%, the ash level is relatively elevated, which may be a consideration for cats with kidney or urinary sensitivities.
2

Calcium-to-phosphorus ratio

With calcium at 1.4% and phosphorus at 1%, the ratio is slightly above the ideal 1.2:1, which may require monitoring in cats prone to urinary issues.
3

Moderate magnesium level

While 0.1% magnesium is within acceptable limits, it may still be a factor for cats with a history of struvite crystals or urinary tract concerns.
4

Use of multiple legumes

Peas, lentils, and chickpeas contribute plant-based protein and carbohydrates, which may not be ideal for cats with sensitivities to legumes.
5

Contains whole oats

which may not align with preferences for grain-free feeding, though oats are a digestible whole grain.
6

Limited single-protein suitability

The inclusion of chicken, turkey, herring, and rabbit makes it unsuitable for cats requiring a limited-ingredient or single-protein diet.

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.
