Summary

Leonardo Adult GF Salmon is a dry food for adult cats with grain sensitivities, formulated with fish-based protein and amaranth to support digestive comfort, coat quality, and urinary health.
Fresh salmon (30%) is the main ingredient, paired with fish meal (20%) to deliver a protein-rich base that contributes 80% of total protein from animal sources.
Amaranth (15%) replaces grain, offering a nutrient-dense alternative carbohydrate source while maintaining a gluten-free formula suitable for allergy-prone cats.
Krill (5%) and poultry fat support essential fatty acid intake, contributing to the recipe’s high fat level (20%), which supports coat health, energy metabolism, and palatability.
Inactivated brewers’ yeast (2.5%) and chia seed (1.3%) provide dietary fiber and beta-glucans that promote immune function and gut integrity.
Taurine, at 1,400 mg/kg, supports heart, vision, and reproductive health, while inulin contributes prebiotic fiber for digestive balance.
The pH-control component is designed to optimize urinary tract health, and STAY-CLEAN™ is added to reduce plaque buildup through mineral interaction during chewing.
With 32% protein, 20% fat, and 8.4% ash, the formulation provides dense nutritional support for active or metabolically demanding adult cats.

Pros
Expand All
1

High animal protein ratio

With 80% of protein from fish and poultry, the formula supports species-appropriate nutrition and strong muscle maintenance.
2

Grain-free and hypoallergenic

Replacing grains with amaranth and peas makes the food suitable for cats with sensitivities or allergies to cereal grains.
3

Functional fatty acids

Krill, salmon, and poultry fat contribute to a high-fat level that supports skin condition, coat quality, and energy needs.
4

Immune and dental health additives

Beta-glucans from yeast support immunity, and STAY-CLEAN™ minerals help reduce oral plaque formation.
5

Digestive and urinary care

Inulin and controlled mineral content promote gut microbiota stability and optimize urinary pH for tract health.
Cons
Expand All
1

High ash content

At 8.4%, ash is relatively elevated and may require consideration in cats needing reduced mineral load for renal or urinary concerns.
2

Fat level may be excessive

20% fat is energy-dense and may not suit overweight or sedentary cats unless portions are closely controlled.
3

No joint support nutrients

Despite premium formulation, glucosamine or chondroitin are not included to support mobility in aging or heavier cats.
4

Limited fiber variety

While inulin and carob are present, crude fiber remains moderate at 2.8%, which might not suffice for cats prone to hairballs or stool inconsistency.

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.
