How We Rate Cat Food
Customer Satisfaction
We at Catster understand and value the importance of keeping our readers informed, and we place heavy emphasis on customer satisfaction. When reviewing cat foods, we make sure to comb through every piece of information we can find about the company, the product, and the reviews of real-life consumers. This includes reading hundreds of reviews on major retail outlets like Chewy and Amazon, evaluating feedback on forums, and devouring as many user-based articles as we can get our hands on. We even include a section in our reviews that highlights what users are saying about each product for increased transparency.
Analysis of the Primary Ingredients
We gauge the quality of each label’s main ingredients by measuring the proportion of high-quality elements that make up a balanced feline diet. In the best cat foods, we expect to see a surplus of quality-sourced meat with minimal fillers. We scour labels for the inclusion of any harmful additives or controversial ingredients and are sure to disclose all our findings in our reviews.
Recall History
Price
Price plays a fundamental role in feline nutrition, which is why we weigh it as an important component when rating cat food. In order to measure price efficiency, we first analyze the ingredient composition of each recipe, taking into consideration the ratio of low-cost fillers to premium produce. Then we compare its makeup to that of other brands offered at the same price point.
