Risk Factor Assessment

Protein source quality
High Risk −30 pts

Only a minor amount of named animal protein

Grain as primary filler
Medium Risk −18 pts

Grain dominates the ingredient list. Cats process carbohydrates poorly; a high grain content displaces animal protein.

Added sugar
High Risk −15 pts

Sugar has no nutritional value for cats — they lack sweet taste receptors. Promotes obesity, insulin resistance, and dental decay.

Protein source unspecified
Medium Risk −10 pts

"Meat and animal derivatives" without species or percentage stated. Quality and origin cannot be verified.

Fat source unspecified
Low Concern −6 pts

Fat source not individually listed. Animal fat and plant oils have very different nutritional profiles for cats.

Fat source quality
Low Concern −4 pts

Mix of animal fat and plant-based oils

Nutritional composition
Medium Risk −3.5 pts

Below-threshold protein density (dry matter), elevated ash, or insufficient moisture for wet food.
