Summary

Tiki Cat Born Carnivore® – High Protein: Chicken, Herring & Salmon Meal Recipe is a grain-free, high-protein dry food designed to provide complete and balanced nutrition for cats at all life stages.
Deboned chicken is the first ingredient, supplying highly digestible animal protein and essential amino acids to build and maintain lean muscle.
Additional poultry, fish meals (herring and salmon), and dried egg broaden the amino acid profile and boost protein density, while naturally enhancing palatability.
At 43% crude protein and 19% fat, the formula delivers energy-dense nutrition that supports active cats and growing kittens, with portion control recommended for more sedentary adults.
Omega fatty acids are robust, with 1.75% omega-3 and 2.25% omega-6 from salmon oil, fish, flaxseed, and chicken fat to support skin and coat condition and a healthy inflammatory balance.
Taurine at a minimum of 0.13% supports heart function, vision, and normal reproduction.
Grain-free carbohydrate sources such as peas, chickpeas, and tapioca provide digestible energy, while fiber from tomato pomace and pumpkin helps promote regular stools.
Inulin (a prebiotic) nourishes beneficial gut bacteria, complementing the fiber blend for healthy digestion.
The kibble is gently baked to help preserve nutrients and flavor, avoiding harsh processing.
Natural antioxidants and preservatives, including mixed tocopherols, rosemary extract, and ascorbic and citric acids, help protect fats from oxidation and maintain freshness.

Pros
Expand All
1

Animal-protein–forward formula

Deboned chicken leads the ingredient list, supported by chicken meal, fish, and egg to deliver concentrated, highly digestible protein for lean muscle.
2

High omega support

1.75% omega-3 and 2.25% omega-6 from salmon oil, fish, flaxseed, and chicken fat promote skin health, coat shine, and balanced inflammatory responses.
3

Taurine fortified

A minimum of 0.13% taurine supports cardiac health, retinal function, and normal reproduction across life stages.
4

Digestive health aids

Inulin prebiotic, moderate fiber sources (including tomato pomace), and pumpkin help support beneficial gut flora and stool quality.
5

Gentle processing

Gently baked kibble helps preserve nutrient integrity and palatability.
6

All-life-stages suitability

Labeled complete and balanced for all life stages, making it appropriate for kittens, adults, and seniors with appropriate portion control.
Cons
Expand All
1

Multiple animal proteins

The inclusion of chicken, fish, and egg may limit suitability for cats requiring single-protein or elimination diets due to food sensitivities.
2

Legume and starch reliance

Peas, chickpeas, and tapioca provide a significant portion of the carbohydrate content, which may not align with preferences for legume-free or very low-carbohydrate diets.
3

Energy-dense profile

At 19% fat, careful portion control is important for less active indoor cats to help prevent unwanted weight gain.
4

Limited mineral disclosure

Key values like ash, calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium are not provided, making it hard for guardians who monitor mineral intake to assess fit.
5

No probiotics listed

While prebiotic inulin is included, the recipe does not list live probiotic cultures or CFU levels.

Provide as many details as possible about Tiki Cat: Born Carnivore® – High Protein: Chicken, Herring & Salmon Meal Recipe so we can make it better!

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.
