Leader’s Choice
Adult Seafood
Summary
Leader’s Choice Adult Seafood is a dry cat food formulated for adult cats living both indoors and outdoors, offering a protein-rich diet with a blend of animal and plant-based ingredients.
The first listed ingredient is chicken meal, a concentrated source of animal protein that supports lean muscle maintenance and overall vitality in adult cats.
With a crude protein level of 34% and fat at 16%, the formula provides a high-energy profile suitable for active adult cats, helping to sustain energy levels and support healthy body condition.
Additional animal proteins, such as shrimp meal and fish meal, contribute marine-based nutrients, including natural sources of omega-3 fatty acids, which support skin health and coat quality.
Chicken fat serves as a highly digestible energy source, providing essential fatty acids that promote skin barrier function and enhance palatability.
Carbohydrate sources like rice, corn, and wheat middlings supply digestible energy, though they also increase the overall carbohydrate content to 31.2%, which may be higher than ideal for obligate carnivores.
Beet pulp and yeast offer fermentable fibers and prebiotics that support digestive health and beneficial gut bacteria.
The inclusion of taurine, an essential amino acid for cats, supports heart function, vision, and reproductive health.
Added vitamins and trace minerals such as zinc, selenium, and B-complex vitamins contribute to immune function, skin integrity, and metabolic processes.
Fish oil and hydrolyzed animal proteins enhance palatability and may support nutrient absorption and skin 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.
