How We Score Pet Food

Our safety score uses a position-weighted formula: ingredients listed first (higher concentration) receive more weight in the calculation. Each ingredient is scored 1-10 based on published veterinary research and regulatory data. The final product score reflects the overall ingredient quality, with penalties for known carcinogens, artificial preservatives, low-quality fillers, and artificial colors.

What to Look For in Cat Food

  • Named protein first — "Chicken" or "Salmon" is better than "Meat by-products"
  • Minimal fillers — Avoid corn gluten meal, wheat middlings, soy flour as top ingredients
  • No artificial preservatives — BHA, BHT, and ethoxyquin are linked to health concerns
  • No artificial colors — Red 40, Yellow 5, Blue 2 serve no nutritional purpose
  • Taurine listed — Essential amino acid cats cannot produce themselves
