Summary

LaVital Hairball Adult Lamb Formula is a dry cat food designed to support adult cats prone to hairball formation, offering targeted digestive and urinary health benefits through a lamb-based protein source.
The first ingredient, dehydrated animal protein from lamb, provides a highly digestible and palatable source of animal protein that supports lean muscle maintenance and overall vitality in adult cats.
With a crude protein level of 33% and fat at 13%, the formula delivers a balanced macronutrient profile suitable for active adult cats, supporting energy needs without excessive caloric density.
Insoluble vegetable fibers and beet pulp are included to help reduce hairball formation by promoting gastrointestinal motility and aiding the natural passage of ingested hair.
Fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) and mannan-oligosaccharides (MOS) function as prebiotics, promoting the growth of beneficial gut bacteria and improving digestive efficiency.
The magnesium content is controlled at 0.09%, which helps support urinary tract health by reducing the risk of struvite crystal formation.
Fish oil contributes omega-3 fatty acids, which support skin and coat health while also offering anti-inflammatory benefits that may aid in digestive and immune function.
Added taurine at 1400 mg/kg supports cardiac function and vision, both essential for adult feline health.
Vitamins A, C, D3, and E, along with trace minerals like zinc, selenium, and manganese, provide antioxidant and immune system support, helping protect cells from oxidative stress.
The formula is GMO-free according to EU standards, appealing to pet owners seeking non-GMO ingredient sourcing.

Pros
Expand All
1

Hairball control support

Insoluble vegetable fibers and beet pulp help move ingested hair through the digestive tract, reducing hairball formation.
2

Digestive health enhancement

Prebiotics like FOS and MOS promote a healthy gut microbiome, improving nutrient absorption and stool quality.
3

Controlled magnesium level

At 0.09%, magnesium is kept low to support urinary tract health and reduce the risk of crystal formation.
4

Rich in antioxidants

High levels of vitamins C and E, along with selenium and zinc, help protect cells from oxidative damage and support immune function.
5

High-quality animal protein

Lamb as the primary protein source offers digestibility and supports muscle maintenance in adult cats.
Cons
Expand All
1

High ash content

At 8%, the ash level is relatively elevated, which may be a concern for cats with kidney sensitivities or those requiring lower mineral intake.
2

Contains multiple grains

Corn, wheat, and rice contribute to the carbohydrate content and may not be suitable for cats with grain sensitivities or owners seeking grain-free diets.
3

Moderate fiber level

While beneficial for hairball control, the 5% crude fiber may not be ideal for cats with sensitive digestion or those requiring lower fiber intake.
4

Limited omega-3 disclosure

The exact omega-3 content is not specified, making it difficult to assess the full anti-inflammatory and skin health benefits.

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.
