Summary

Genesis Pure Canada Adult Urinary is a dry cat food formulated to support urinary tract health in adult cats, suitable for both indoor and outdoor lifestyles.
The first ingredient is fresh chicken, a high-quality animal protein source that provides essential amino acids for maintaining muscle and promoting overall vitality.
With a crude protein level of 24.5% and a high fat content of 21%, the formula delivers concentrated energy, which may benefit active cats or those with higher caloric needs.
The inclusion of fresh pheasant, wild boar, and liver adds variety to the protein profile, enhancing palatability and contributing to a broader amino acid spectrum.
Magnesium is controlled at 0.05%, and phosphorus at 0.6%, both of which are important for reducing the risk of urinary crystal formation and supporting kidney health.
Functional ingredients like cranberry and blueberry provide natural antioxidants that may help protect urinary tract tissues from oxidative stress.
Psyllium seeds and dried chicory offer soluble fibers that support digestive health and may aid in stool quality.
Salmon oil, although present at only 0.5%, contributes omega-3 fatty acids that support anti-inflammatory processes and skin health.
Taurine is included at 2000 mg/kg, supporting heart function, vision, and reproductive health in adult cats.
Additional functional additives such as mannanoligosaccharides, β-glucans, and mussel meat meal may support immune function and joint health.

Pros
Expand All
1

Controlled mineral levels for urinary health

Low magnesium (0.05%) and phosphorus (0.6%) help reduce the risk of urinary stone formation.
2

Multiple high-quality animal proteins

including fresh chicken, pheasant, wild boar, and liver, provide diverse and digestible protein sources for muscle maintenance and enhanced palatability.
3

Antioxidant-rich fruits

such as cranberries and blueberries, offer natural antioxidants that may support urinary tract and immune health.
4

Digestive support ingredients

including psyllium, chicory, and yeast, contribute to gut health and may help improve stool consistency.
5

High taurine content

At 2000 mg/kg, taurine supports essential functions such as cardiac health and vision in adult cats.
6

Functional additives for immune and joint support

β-glucans, mannanoligosaccharides, and mussel meat meal may enhance immune defenses and joint mobility.
Cons
Expand All
1

High fat content

At 21%, the fat level may be excessive for less active or overweight cats, increasing the risk of weight gain.
2

High carbohydrate proportion

With 38% carbohydrates, the formula may not align with the low-carb preferences of some cat owners seeking more carnivorous diets.
3

Use of potato starch

As the second ingredient, potato starch is a high-glycemic carbohydrate that offers limited nutritional value for cats.
4

Grain-inclusive formulation

The presence of plant-based ingredients like plantain and psyllium may not suit cats with grain or plant sensitivities.
5

Unspecified omega fatty acid levels

Omega-3 and omega-6 percentages are not provided, limiting assessment of their contribution to skin and coat health.

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.
