Whiskas
Kitten 2-12 Months with Chicken
Summary
Whiskas Kitten 2-12 Months with Chicken is a dry food formulated to meet the complete nutritional needs of growing kittens during their most critical developmental stage.
The first listed ingredient is cereals, which serve as the primary carbohydrate source, providing energy for active kittens but offering limited protein value.
The primary animal protein source is meat and animal derivatives, including 4% chicken in the brown kibbles, which contributes to muscle development and supports healthy growth, though the exact proportion of high-quality meat content is relatively low.
With a crude protein level of 35.7% and fat at 13.6%, the formula delivers sufficient energy and amino acids to support rapid growth, tissue repair, and immune function in kittens.
Calcium at 1.5% and phosphorus at 0.96% are appropriately balanced to promote strong bone and dental development during the early life stage.
Vitamin E (584 mg/kg) and taurine (1190 mg/kg) are included to support immune health and essential cardiac and visual functions, which are especially important in young cats.
Added milk derivatives, including skimmed milk powder, provide lactose-free dairy protein and calcium, which are generally well tolerated by kittens and support skeletal development.
Vegetables such as dried carrots and peas contribute natural fiber and phytonutrients, aiding digestion and offering trace vitamins.
Yeasts are a source of B-vitamins and may support gut health and palatability.
The product is free from added artificial colors and flavorings and is manufactured in facilities powered by 100% renewable energy, reflecting a commitment to sustainability.

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.
