Summary

Leonardo Senior is a dry food formulated for aging cats, specifically designed to meet the nutritional needs of felines over ten years old, when metabolism slows and immune function begins to decline.
The first ingredient is fresh poultry meat (30%), followed by low-ash poultry protein (15%), delivering 80% animal-based protein relative to overall protein content.
Complementary carbohydrate sources include rice, maize, and rye, while functional inclusions like krill (2.5%), chia seeds (2.5%), and grape seed extract (2%) support joint, skin, and cellular health.
Added ingredients like brewers’ yeast (2.5%) provide beta-glucans for immune support (PROVITAL), and lecithin (2,000 mg/kg) supports heart and fat metabolism, while the STAY-CLEAN™ complex aids in reducing plaque.
The guaranteed analysis provides 28% protein and 15% fat—an energy-balanced profile suitable for less active older cats—alongside 7.2% ash, 2.8% fiber, and moderate mineral levels.
Micronutrient supplementation includes vitamin A (17,000 IU), vitamin D3 (1,700 IU), vitamin C (245 mg), vitamin E (170 mg), and L-carnitine (50 mg) to support aging-related physiological needs.

Pros
Expand All
1

High animal protein ratio

80% of total protein is from animal sources, led by fresh poultry and low-ash poultry protein, supporting lean mass retention in older cats.
2

Senior-focused micronutrients

Includes vitamin C (245 mg), vitamin E, and L-carnitine to address aging immunity, oxidative stress, and fat metabolism.
3

Digestive and metabolic support

This product contains inulin from chicory for prebiotic support, chia seeds for omega-3s and fiber, and brewers’ yeast for B-vitamins and immune-regulating beta-glucans.
4

Joint and skin support

Krill provides marine-sourced omega-3 fatty acids, while lecithin supports cardiovascular and lipid metabolism health in aging cats.
5

Dental health additive

The STAY-CLEAN™ complex targets oral hygiene through plaque control, a common issue in senior cats.
6

Moderate mineral balance

Calcium (0.9%), phosphorus (0.65%), and sodium (0.3%) help manage mineral intake to reduce stress on aging kidneys and urinary systems.
Cons
Expand All
1

Grain-based formulation

Rice, maize, and rye are all included, which may not suit cats with grain intolerance or those needing reduced carbohydrate intake.
2

Moderate ash level

At 7.2%, ash is higher than in many senior-specific formulas, which may concern cats with kidney issues.
3

No fresh fish protein

While fish meal and krill are included, no fresh or whole fish protein is listed, limiting the diversity of EPA/DHA sources.
4

Relatively low fiber

Crude fiber is 2.8%, which may be modest for older cats needing enhanced gastrointestinal motility or hairball support.
5

No targeted joint compound levels declared

While krill and lecithin support joint health, the absence of glucosamine or chondroitin may limit comprehensive joint protection.

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.
