Leader’s Choice
Adult Chicken
Summary
Leader’s Choice Adult Chicken is a dry cat food formulated for adult cats of all lifestyles, including both indoor and outdoor environments, with a focus on high protein content and energy density to support active feline metabolism.
The first ingredient, chicken meal, is a concentrated source of animal protein that provides essential amino acids for muscle maintenance, tissue repair, and overall vitality in adult cats.
With a crude protein level of 38% and a fat content of 18%, this formula provides a high-energy profile suitable for cats with moderate to high activity levels, helping to maintain lean body mass and support daily energy needs.
Chicken fat, the second ingredient, is a highly digestible fat source rich in linoleic acid, which supports healthy skin and a glossy coat.
Rice and corn provide digestible carbohydrates, contributing to the 25.2% carbohydrate content, which offers quick energy but may be less ideal for cats with grain sensitivities.
Hydrolyzed protein and fish hydrolysate are included to enhance palatability and may support digestibility, making the food more appealing and easier to process for some cats.
Beet pulp and lignocellulose serve as functional fiber sources that help regulate digestion and promote healthy stool quality.
Essential minerals such as zinc (100 mg/kg) and selenium (0.2 mg/kg) support immune function, skin integrity, and antioxidant defense.
Added taurine supports heart health and vision, while a full spectrum of B vitamins aids in energy metabolism and nervous system function.
With a metabolizable energy of 3984 kcal/kg, this formula is calorie-dense, making it suitable for cats with higher caloric needs or those prone to weight loss.

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.
