North Paw
Grain Free All Life Stages
Summary
North Paw Grain Free All Life Stages is a dry food designed to support cats from kittenhood through adulthood.
Its high-protein, high-fat profile aims to sustain growth, muscular development, and skin health.
Chicken meal and fish meal are the leading ingredients, supplying concentrated, animal-based protein that provides a full amino acid spectrum to support lean muscle and energy metabolism.
Chickpeas, sweet potatoes, lentils, and peas contribute digestible carbohydrates and fiber while avoiding common grains, maintaining a low glycemic index, and offering incidental plant-based protein.
Chicken fat and herring oil are primary fat sources, contributing to the high fat level (20%) and supplying omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids to support coat condition, brain development, and anti-inflammatory function.
Egg powder and chicken liver add digestibility, palatability, and additional micronutrient density, enhancing the overall protein variety without relying on by-product meals.
The formula includes DHA (0.2%) and EPA (0.16%), targeting neurological development and joint health, while added glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate contribute to cartilage support in active or aging cats.
Taurine is present at a strong 0.25%, and the food uses CoreyTEC™ Infusion to incorporate fish oils post-cooking, preserving their functional value for skin and coat health.
A wide range of vegetables, herbs, and fruit (like spinach, pumpkin, ginger, and cranberries) adds trace phytonutrients and antioxidant diversity not commonly found in conventional dry foods.

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.
