Summary

Vigor & Sage Poria Sterilized Care – Indoor is a dry cat food designed for adult indoor and sterilised cats.
It focuses on weight control and urinary health.
It uses fresh boneless lamb meat as the first ingredient at 26%, followed by 15% dried lamb, providing a high-quality and digestible animal protein source.
The food delivers 30% crude protein and 12% fat, which supports lean body maintenance and energy balance for sterilised cats.
Poria is included at 0.14% for its traditional use in supporting digestion, urinary tract health, and stress reduction.
Seaweed (0.4%) adds vitamin K, iodine, calcium, and iron, promoting skin health, immune function, and overall wellness.
Herbal components like goji berry (0.14%) and licorice root (0.14%) provide antioxidants and compounds that may support gut health and immunity.
Taurine is provided at 1000 mg/kg and L-carnitine at 250 mg/kg to support heart health, fat metabolism, and muscle preservation.
The formulation includes prebiotics (FOS), beet pulp, and linseed to aid digestive regularity and nutrient absorption.

Pros
Expand All
1

Dual-source lamb protein

Contains 26% fresh lamb and 15% dried lamb for a strong supply of high-quality, bioavailable animal protein.
2

Herbal and functional support

This blend includes poria, goji berry, and licorice root, which offer anti-inflammatory, digestive, and urinary tract benefits.
3

Skin and immunity benefits

Seaweed at 0.4% provides rare trace elements and antioxidants to support skin, immune, and metabolic health.
4

Metabolic support

L-carnitine (250 mg/kg) helps convert fat into energy, supporting healthy body weight in neutered and indoor cats.
5

Digestive health

Contains 4.5% crude fiber from sources like beet pulp and linseed, along with prebiotic FOS to support gut flora balance.
6

No artificial additives

Formulated without synthetic colors or flavors, and preserved with natural antioxidants such as vitamin E.
Cons
Expand All
1

Plant-heavy formula

Uses significant plant-based ingredients like peas, potatoes, and alfalfa, which may dilute overall animal protein concentration.
2

Moderate protein content

With 30% crude protein and 8% moisture, the dry matter protein content (~32.6%) is moderate for obligate carnivores.
3

High ash content

At 8.8%, the ash level is above average and may raise concerns about mineral load and urinary health in sensitive cats.
4

Non-chelated minerals

Minerals are provided in standard inorganic forms, potentially reducing absorption compared to chelated variants.
5

Low taurine level

Taurine is included at 1000 mg/kg, which meets basic requirements but is lower than in many high-meat competitor diets.
6

No declared omega fatty acids

Although salmon oil and linseed are included, specific omega-3 and omega-6 percentages are not listed.

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.
