Product Summary

Orijen Six Fish dry cat food is designed for cats of all life stages and provides a biologically appropriate, high-protein diet. The first ingredient is fresh, whole pilchard, supplemented by five other wild-caught fish, making up 85% of the formula. This recipe includes WholePrey ingredients like fish organs and bone, ensuring a balanced nutrient profile that closely mirrors a cat’s natural diet. It also features a freeze-dried liver coating, which enhances palatability and provides additional nutritional value.

 

Pros:

  • Contains 40% crude protein, mainly from animal sources, promoting lean muscle development.
  • Rich in omega-3 fatty acids (2.1%), which support skin and coat health.
  • Low carbohydrate content (19%) aligns with a cat’s natural low-carb dietary needs.
  • Taurine (0.3%) supports heart and vision health, essential for all cats.
  • Includes prebiotics from dried chicory root to aid in digestion.

 

Cons:

  • High-fat content at 19%, which may not suit overweight or less active cats.
  • Crude fiber is relatively low at 3%, which may be insufficient for cats prone to hairballs.
  • Includes legumes like lentils and chickpeas, which some cats may have difficulty digesting.

Notes

The score is calculated after relocation of fresh meat or fish ingredient(s) as explained in the calculation rule #7 in Chapter 1.

Comments

Note 1: These foods are very special, there are many different meat and fish ingredients in them, both in fresh and dried forms, but an amount of each one of them is relatively small. In order to make an evaluation I combined some of these ingredients into groups. So the score calculation is not that straightforward as in most other cases.

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.
