Summary

NutriBest Adult Chicken & Rice is a complete dry food for adult cats.
It is designed to support immune, digestive, urinary, and skin health using a balanced blend of animal proteins, grains, and functional additives.
Chicken meal is the primary protein at 29%, accompanied by rice (4%), maize, wheat, and vegetable protein isolate to achieve a crude % protein content of 30%.
The formula includes 11% fat from mixed animal and fish sources (0.5% fish oil), supporting energy needs and providing omega-3 and omega-6 for coat health and brain function.
Prebiotic fibers from MOS and beet pulp enhance intestinal flora and digestive efficiency, supporting nutrient absorption and immune health.
Marine algae (0.5%) supply natural minerals, vitamins, and antioxidants, which, along with brewer’s yeast (3%) and taurine (1,170 mg/kg), support cardiovascular, vision, and metabolic function.
The food contains 7.5% ash, 2.2% fiber, and is formulated without colorants, artificial flavors, or added sugars for sensitive systems.
Vitamins A and E, selenium, copper, and iodine further promote immune defense and cellular health.

Pros
Expand All
1

Balanced protein sources

30% protein from chicken meal, fishmeal, egg, and yeast supports lean mass and energy.
2

Functional fat profile

11% fat, including omega-rich fish oil for brain, coat, and cardiovascular health.
3

Skin and coat nutrients

Marine algae, zinc, and vitamin A contribute to healthy dermal function and coat luster.
4

Digestive and immune support

MOS, FOS, beet pulp, and yeast improve gut health and support beneficial bacteria.
5

Urinary and cardiac care

Taurine (1,170 mg/kg) and mineral balance help maintain urinary tract health and heart function.
Cons
Expand All
1

Common grains

include wheat and maize, which may not be ideal for grain-sensitive cats.
2

Low rice content

Rice, while marketed in the name, appears at only 4% of the formulation.
3

No fresh meat inclusion

All animal proteins are meal-based, which may affect digestibility and palatability.
4

Low fish oil concentration

At 0.5%, fish oil may be too low to fully support anti-inflammatory and cognitive functions.
5

No joint support additives

Glucosamine and chondroitin are not present, limiting long-term support for active or aging cats.

Notes

Information about antioxidants and preservatives is missing or insufficient. Since I didn’t want to remove points due to this missing info without any proof, I evaluated this food assuming the natural preservatives were used. But note that this is just an assumption.
Ingredients in this food are listed as categories rather than specific named products. This EU permitted method doesn’t allow me a proper evaluation of the food since I usually don’t have any indication of the real quality of ingredients in each listed category. Therefore I evaluate each such category as the corresponding ingredient of the worst quality: cereals = corn, meat and meat derivatives = partial by-product + unknown source of the meat, oils and fats = unknown source of the fat.

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.
