Summary

Oven-Baked Tradition Adult cat food, prepared with fresh chicken, fruits & vegetables, is a dry food formulated for adult cats.
It offers a slow oven-baked process that enhances flavor and nutrient retention compared to traditional extrusion methods.
Fresh chicken is the first ingredient, providing a highly digestible source of animal protein that supports the maintenance of lean muscle and overall vitality in adult cats.
The inclusion of both fresh and dehydrated chicken (totaling 41%) ensures a rich amino acid profile essential for tissue repair, immune function, and energy metabolism.
Whole grains, such as dehulled barley, brown rice, and oatmeal, are milled in-house, providing complex carbohydrates for sustained energy and dietary fiber for improved digestive health.
Fruits and vegetables like pumpkin, spinach, cranberries, and blueberries offer natural sources of antioxidants, vitamins, and phytonutrients that support immune defense and cellular health.
Omega-3 (0.25%) and omega-6 (2%) fatty acids from salmon oil and flaxseed promote healthy skin, a shiny coat, and anti-inflammatory balance.
Glucosamine and chondroitin (100 mg/kg each) are included to support joint health, which is beneficial for active or aging adult cats.
With a metabolizable energy of 3620 kcal/kg and a moderate fat content of 14%, the formula provides balanced energy suitable for both indoor and outdoor adult cats.
Additional functional ingredients like inulin (a prebiotic), yucca extract (odor control), and brewer’s yeast (B-vitamin source) enhance digestive health and nutrient absorption.
The absence of artificial flavors and preservatives supports a more natural feeding approach, aligning with pet owners seeking clean-label nutrition.

Pros
Expand All
1

High-quality animal protein

Fresh and dehydrated chicken as primary ingredients provide complete, digestible protein for muscle maintenance and overall health.
2

Joint support nutrients

such as glucosamine and chondroitin, help maintain joint function and mobility in adult cats, particularly for active or aging pets.
3

Rich in natural antioxidants

Ingredients like cranberries, blueberries, spinach, and green tea extract contribute to oxidative stress reduction and immune support.
4

Balanced omega fatty acids

Omega-3 and omega-6 from salmon oil and flaxseed support skin integrity, coat condition, and inflammatory regulation.
5

Digestive health support

Beet pulp, inulin, and whole grains provide fermentable fibers and prebiotics that promote gut health and stool quality.
6

Slow oven-baked process

Gentle cooking method preserves nutrients and enhances palatability while reducing kibble air content for higher density feeding.
Cons
Expand All
1

Moderate carbohydrate content

At 36.5%, the carbohydrate level is relatively high, which may not align with low-carb feeding preferences for obligate carnivores.
2

Use of multiple grain sources

The inclusion of barley, rice, and oatmeal may not be suitable for cats with grain sensitivities or owners seeking grain-free diets.
3

Limited taurine content

Taurine is present at 1000 mg/kg, which meets basic needs but is lower than levels found in some premium adult formulas targeting heart and eye health.
4

Presence of potential allergens

The formula may contain traces of peanuts, which could be a concern for cats with specific food sensitivities.
5

Unspecified moisture content

Lack of declared moisture percentage limits full evaluation of nutrient density and hydration contribution.

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.
