Summary

Araton Kitten with Chicken is a complete dry food explicitly designed to meet the nutritional needs of growing kittens.
Its first ingredient, maize, serves as an energy-rich carbohydrate source, supporting active kittens during their critical development stages.
Chicken meal is a concentrated source of animal protein that supports lean muscle growth and repair, which is essential during the rapid growth phase.
The addition of hydrolyzed liver enhances palatability while also supplying highly digestible proteins and essential nutrients, supporting healthy appetite and development.
Poultry fat provides a digestible source of energy and essential fatty acids, aiding in skin and coat health.
Natural antioxidants and added vitamin E contribute to immune function, helping kittens build resistance against disease.
With a crude protein content of 30% and fat at 11%, the formula is calibrated for optimal growth, energy, and tissue formation.
A balanced calcium-to-phosphorus ratio supports strong bones and teeth, which are vital during the early stages of a kitten’s life.
The inclusion of sugar beet pulp provides fermentable fiber that promotes digestive health and supports beneficial gut bacteria.
Taurine is added to maintain proper heart and vision function, both crucial for a growing kitten’s development.

Pros
Expand All
1

High Protein Content

With 30% crude protein, the formula supports muscle development and overall growth in kittens.
2

Optimized Calcium and Phosphorus

Balanced levels of 1.25% calcium and 1% phosphorus help ensure healthy bone and tooth formation during early development.
3

Immune System Support

Natural antioxidants and 480 mg/kg of vitamin E promote immune health and help kittens resist illnesses.
4

Digestive Health

Sugar beet pulp provides fermentable fiber, which helps maintain digestive function and promote nutrient absorption.
5

Enriched with Taurine

Contains 1000 mg/kg of taurine, an essential amino acid to support healthy vision and heart function in kittens.
Cons
Expand All
1

Contains Maize as the First Ingredient

While energy-rich, maize is a plant-based carbohydrate and not a primary protein source, which may not meet feline-specific protein needs.
2

Multiple Grains Present

Includes triticale and wheat bran, which may not be suitable for kittens sensitive to grains or requiring grain-free diets.
3

Added Sugar

The presence of ingredients such as hydrolyzed liver and beet pulp is beneficial, but the inclusion of sugars may not be ideal for long-term health.
4

Lack of Specific Omega 3 and 6 Values

The absence of listed omega fatty acid levels makes it difficult to assess skin and coat support from these nutrients.
5

Unspecified Moisture and Magnesium Content

Missing values for key nutrients such as moisture and magnesium prevent a complete nutritional assessment.

Notes

Information about antioxidants and preservatives is missing or insufficient. Since I didn’t want to remove points due to this missing info without any proof, I evaluated this food assuming the natural preservatives were used. But note that this is just an assumption.

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.
