Summary

North Paw Grain Free Mature/Weight Health is a dry cat food formulated for senior and less active cats who require weight management support.
The first ingredient is chicken meal, a concentrated protein source that helps maintain lean muscle mass in aging cats.
With 40% crude protein, this formula provides a high level of animal-based protein to support muscle retention and overall health.
A low-fat content of 11% ensures controlled calorie intake, preventing weight gain while still supplying essential fatty acids.
The inclusion of cranberries and fruit acids promotes urinary health by supporting an optimal urinary pH balance and reducing the risk of infections.
A fiber blend with prebiotics and chicory root aids digestion promotes gut health and helps control hairballs, which are common in older cats.
Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids from fish meal and flaxseed nourish the skin and coat, keeping it healthy and reducing dryness.
Joint support is provided through glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate, which help maintain mobility and cartilage health in senior cats.

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.
