Summary

North Paw Grain Free Atlantic Seafood with Lobster is a high-protein, nutrient-dense dry cat food designed for cats of all life stages.
The first ingredient is herring meal, a concentrated source of marine protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and essential amino acids.
With 41% crude protein, this formula supports lean muscle maintenance, tissue repair, and overall feline health.
The 21% crude fat content provides sustained energy, supports a healthy metabolism, and maintains optimal coat condition.
Lobster meal is a novel protein, making this formula suitable for cats with poultry allergies or sensitivities.
A blend of prebiotics (chicory root, yucca schidigera) and fiber-rich ingredients aids digestion, supports a healthy gut microbiome, and assists with hairball control.
Essential fatty acids, including omega-3 (1.7%) and omega-6 (4.1%), nourish the skin and promote a shiny, resilient coat.
Blueberries, cranberries, pumpkin, and spinach provide natural antioxidants to boost the immune system and help fight free radicals.
Glucosamine and chondroitin support joint health by maintaining cartilage integrity and reducing inflammation.
A combination of CoreyTEC™ FINE GRIND technology (for better oral health) and CoreyTEC™ INFUSION technology (for enhanced nutrient absorption) ensures optimal digestibility and bioavailability of nutrients.

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.
