Summary

Rachael Ray Nutrish Real Chicken & Brown Rice Recipe Whole Health Blend Dry Cat Food is crafted to support your cat’s active mind and playful energy, featuring real chicken as the number one ingredient to deliver high-quality animal protein.
Concentrated chicken meal and fish meal provide essential amino acids, such as lysine and arginine, which promote tissue repair and immune resilience.
Brown rice and brewers’ rice provide highly digestible carbohydrates and dietary fiber to ensure steady energy release and digestive comfort.
The blend of dried beet pulp and flaxseed fuels healthy gut flora with prebiotic fiber and delivers omega-3 fatty acids for skin and coat nourishment.
Chicken fat, preserved naturally with mixed tocopherols, contributes essential fatty acids that support brain function and joint mobility.
Added taurine and DL-methionine maintain healthy heart function and urinary tract balance, reducing the risk of common feline conditions.
A robust mix of vitamins A, E, C, and B-complex, alongside trace minerals like selenium and zinc, bolsters antioxidant defenses and supports vision and metabolic processes.
With 33% protein, 14% fat, and a balanced omega-6 to omega-3 ratio, this formula aligns with the nutritional requirements of adult cats living both indoors and outdoors.
Maintaining a moderate 4% crude fiber and 9% moisture content, this recipe delivers effective nutrient concentration while encouraging hydration when served with water.

Pros
Expand All

2

Digestible Carbs

Brown rice and brewers rice offer steady energy and gentle fiber for digestive health.
3

Essential Fats

Chicken fat and flaxseed supply omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids for skin, coat, and joint support.
4

Heart & Eye Health

Added taurine and vitamin A, which contribute to cardiovascular function and vision maintenance.
5

Antioxidant Blend

Vitamins E and C, along with selenium, help neutralize free radicals and bolster immune defenses.
Cons
Expand All
1

Relatively High Carbs

At 33% carbohydrates, the level may be excessive for obligate carnivores, potentially affecting weight control.
2

Minimal Omega-3

The 0.5% omega-3 content meets basic needs but may be insufficient for cats requiring enhanced anti-inflammatory support.
3

Plant-Based Protein Components

Ingredients such as corn protein concentrate and peas provide protein but offer a less complete amino acid profile than pure animal sources.
4

Use of Preservatives

While mixed tocopherols and citric acid preserve freshness, some pet owners may prefer formulations without added preservatives.

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.
