Summary

Chicopee Holistic HNL Adult No Grain is a grain-free dry cat food formulated for adult cats with food sensitivities, offering a digestible and balanced diet without common cereal ingredients.
The primary ingredient is poultry, comprising 43% fresh and dehydrated meat, which provides a high-quality, easily digestible animal protein source to support lean muscle maintenance and overall vitality.
The inclusion of liver, both fresh and dried at 9.5%, enhances palatability while contributing additional iron, vitamin A, and essential amino acids for immune and metabolic support.
Potato starch and peas serve as alternative carbohydrate sources, offering energy without the use of grains, making the formula suitable for cats with cereal intolerances.
Flaxseed and salmon oil contribute natural sources of omega fatty acids, which support skin health, coat condition, and anti-inflammatory balance, although specific omega-3 and omega-6 levels are not disclosed.
Functional fibers from beet pulp and pea fiber aid in digestive health and help regulate stool quality, while chicory powder and mannan oligosaccharides support beneficial gut bacteria.
Antioxidant support is provided through vitamin E (155 mg/kg), selenium, and zinc, which help neutralize free radicals and support immune function.
Green-lipped mussels and marigold flowers offer natural sources of joint-supporting nutrients and lutein, respectively, contributing to mobility and eye health.
Taurine is included at 2,000 mg/kg, an essential amino acid for heart function, vision, and reproductive health in cats.
With a metabolizable energy of 3817 kcal/kg and a moderate fat content of 16.5%, the formula provides sufficient energy for both indoor and outdoor adult cats.

Cons
Expand All
1

Undisclosed omega fatty acid levels

Although flaxseed and salmon oil are included, the actual omega-3 and omega-6 content is not specified, which limits the assessment of anti-inflammatory and skin benefits.
2

Moderate ash content

At 7.3%, the ash level may be high for cats with kidney or urinary sensitivities, requiring monitoring.
3

Use of animal by-products

Ingredients like meat hydrolysate and cretons (dehydrated) may be less desirable for owners seeking whole-prey or limited-ingredient diets.
4

Carbohydrate content

At 31.3%, the carbohydrate level is relatively high for a carnivorous species, which may not align with low-carb feeding preferences.
5

Limited transparency on ingredient sourcing

The origin and quality of certain ingredients, such as animal fat and fish meal, are not disclosed, making it challenging to evaluate sourcing standards.

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.
