Summary

Nutram Sound Balanced Wellness S1 Kitten is a dry cat food designed to support the nutritional needs of growing kittens, promoting cognitive development, urinary health, and overall well-being.
Chicken meal, salmon meal, and deboned chicken provide high-quality animal protein sources, supporting muscle growth and development.
A blend of oatmeal, brown rice, and pearled barley supplies digestible carbohydrates, while lentils and peas contribute additional plant-based protein and fiber.
Salmon oil and flaxseed are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, including DHA (0.10%), which is essential for kittens’ brain and vision development.
Cranberries and celery seeds aid in urinary tract health by promoting proper pH levels and hydration through their natural diuretic and acidifying properties.
Pumpkin, carrots, and apples provide natural fiber sources for digestion, while chicory root extract helps maintain gut microbiome balance.
Herbal ingredients such as chamomile, turmeric, peppermint, and ginger offer natural anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits to enhance immune function.
With 34% protein and 18% fat, this formula meets the high energy demands of growing kittens while supporting healthy development.

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.
