Product Summary

Solid Gold Indigo Moon with Chicken & Eggs is a high-protein, grain-free dry cat food designed for active adult cats. The formula features 42% crude protein sourced primarily from chicken meal, chicken, and dried eggs, providing essential amino acids for muscle maintenance. It also contains a balanced mix of Omega-6 (3.00%) and Omega-3 (1.10%) fatty acids, which promote a healthy skin and coat. The inclusion of superfoods such as pumpkin, cranberries, and blueberries supports overall immune health, while probiotics (Bacillus Coagulans) enhance gut health.

 

Pros:

  • High Protein Content: The formula includes 42% crude protein, primarily from chicken meal, chicken, and eggs, ensuring strong muscle maintenance for active cats.
  • Balanced Fatty Acids: With Omega-6 at 3.00% and Omega-3 at 1.10%, the food supports a healthy coat and skin, essential for cats with sensitive skin or those exposed to outdoor elements.
  • Gut Health Support: The addition of probiotics (Bacillus Coagulans) aids in digestion and supports a healthy gut, making it beneficial for cats with digestive sensitivities.

 

Cons:

  • High-Fat Content: The food contains 20% crude fat, which may be excessive for less active or indoor cats, potentially leading to weight gain if not monitored.
  • Inclusion of Canola Oil: Some cat owners might find the use of canola oil as a fat source less desirable, as they prefer other fat sources like fish oil.
  • Moderate Fiber Content: With only 3% crude fiber, the food might not provide enough fiber for cats prone to hairballs or those requiring additional digestive support.

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.
