Summary

Tiki Cat Born Carnivore® Hairball Control: Chicken Recipe is a dry cat food formulated to support indoor adult cats prone to hairball formation, with a focus on digestive motility and overall wellness.
Chicken is the first ingredient, providing a high-quality, animal-based protein source that supports lean muscle maintenance and aligns with a carnivorous feline diet.
With a guaranteed 35% crude protein and 15% fat, the formula delivers a nutrient-dense profile suitable for active adult cats, helping to sustain energy levels and muscle tone.
The inclusion of natural vegetable fibers such as beet pulp, powdered cellulose, and dried chicory root promotes gastrointestinal motility, aiding in the passage of ingested hair through the digestive tract to reduce hairball formation.
Flaxseed and poultry fat contribute essential fatty acids, including omega-3 and omega-6, which support skin hydration and coat health, potentially reducing shedding and hairball risk.
Prebiotics from dried chicory root help nourish beneficial gut bacteria, supporting digestive health and nutrient absorption.
Zinc (175 mg/kg) and vitamin E (175 IU/kg) provide antioxidant and skin-supportive benefits, contributing to immune function and barrier protection.
Taurine, an essential amino acid for cats, is included at a minimum of 0.1%, supporting heart health, vision, and reproductive function.
Methionine at 0.6% may assist in urinary health by helping to maintain optimal urinary pH.
With a metabolizable energy of 3560 kcal/kg, the formula offers a balanced caloric density appropriate for indoor cats with moderate activity levels.

Pros
Expand All
1

High animal protein content

Chicken and chicken meal as primary ingredients provide digestible, species-appropriate protein for muscle maintenance.
2

Hairball control support

Natural fibers like beet pulp, powdered cellulose, and chicory root promote digestive motility to help reduce hairball formation.
3

Skin and coat health

Omega-3 (2.5%) and omega-6 (0.75%) fatty acids, along with zinc and vitamin E, support a healthy coat and reduce shedding.
4

Digestive health support

Prebiotics from chicory root help maintain a balanced gut microbiome and improve stool quality.
5

Antioxidant protection

Vitamin E and zinc contribute to immune defense and cellular protection against oxidative stress.
Cons
Expand All
1

Use of plant-based ingredients

Pea flour and tapioca starch increase carbohydrate content, which may not align with low-carb feline diets.
2

Lack of full mineral profile disclosure

Key minerals such as phosphorus, calcium, and magnesium are not specified, limiting assessment of urinary or bone health support.
3

Moderate fiber level

At 5% crude fiber, the formula may be too high for some cats with sensitive digestion or prone to loose stools.
4

Use of menadione (vitamin K3)

This synthetic form of vitamin K is controversial and may be avoided by pet owners seeking more natural formulations.
5

Multiple protein sources

Inclusion of chicken and poultry fat may not suit cats with specific protein sensitivities or allergies.

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.
