Shelma
Sterilized Rich in Fresh Beef
Summary
Shelma Sterilized Rich in Fresh Beef is a grain-free dry food tailored for neutered adult cats, focusing on weight control, urinary health, and coat quality through a multi-protein, plant-inclusive formulation.
Fresh beef (25%) is the primary ingredient, supported by dried poultry, turkey, and fish.
Together, these form a high-protein base with 72% of total protein derived from animal sources.
Potato flakes, starch, and peas provide carbohydrates without grains, maintaining energy levels while avoiding gluten-based fillers.
Salmon oil is the listed source of omega-3 fatty acids, working alongside poultry fat and omega-6 inputs to support skin condition and coat gloss.
Chicory root (2%) and beet pulp (2%) act as fermentable fibers for digestive regulation, while added cellulose helps manage stool quality and satiety.
Spirulina, buckthorn, and herbs like rosemary, thyme, and parsley offer trace antioxidant and phytonutrient support, contributing to immune defense and cellular health.
Yucca schidigera is included for stool odor control, a practical addition for litter box maintenance in indoor cats.
Magnesium and sodium levels are specifically adjusted to support urinary tract function, while taurine, at 1,300 mg/kg, is included for vision and heart health.

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.
