Summary

Summit 10 Whole Choice Adult Medium Chicken is a grain-free dry formula for adult cats aged one year and older.
It is designed to deliver varied animal protein sources and digestive support through specific additives.
The first ingredient is deboned fresh chicken (20%), indicating a focus on quality meat inclusion, though its relative protein contribution is limited once moisture is removed during processing.
Dehydrated salmon protein and fish (17%) follow as more concentrated protein sources, supplying essential amino acids in a form more representative of what cats require.
Potatoes (19%) and legumes (12%) are used instead of grains to provide energy and fiber, but they also introduce plant-based proteins, shifting the overall protein quality balance.
The fat content is primarily delivered by poultry fat and salmon oil, both of which contribute essential fatty acids, including omega-3s, to support skin and coat health.
Digestive support is incorporated via prebiotics (FOS, MOS) and Enterococcus faecium, targeting intestinal flora stability, which is important in adult cats as microbiome diversity narrows with age.

Pros
Expand All
1

Animal-based amino acids

Dehydrated salmon protein and fish provide concentrated sources of the amino acids cats require for maintaining lean muscle and supporting metabolic function.
2

Balanced fat blend

Poultry fat and salmon oil offer a functional mix of omega fatty acids, aiding in inflammation control and maintaining coat integrity.
3

Targeted digestive support

The inclusion of prebiotics and a named probiotic species addresses microbiome health, especially valuable for adult cats prone to digestive sensitivity.
4

Bioavailable trace mineral

Zinc chelate appears in the formula, a more absorbable form of zinc that the body may better utilize compared to inorganic forms.
Cons
Expand All
1

Elevated carbohydrate presence

Based on guaranteed analysis, the estimated carbohydrate content is around 26.5%, exceeding comparative scoring thresholds and reducing the meat-to-carb ratio.
2

Plant protein contribution

Legumes and potatoes comprise 31% of the formula, so these ingredients likely contribute to the total protein value, even though their biological value is lower for cats.
3

High ash content

The 7.5% ash level suggests a relatively heavy mineral load, which can be less suitable for cats needing lower urinary or renal mineral concentrations.
4

Protein scoring deduction

The formula’s protein content does not meet the 50% dry matter benchmark used in the scoring method and results in a point deduction under that framework.

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.
