Yeah… that doesn’t seem like a reliable site. Seems like the owner just reads the labels and assigns a rating based on their own undocumented scoring system. They also have no particular qualifications for the work they’re doing and make several clerical errors due to their own bias. For example, they don’t count anything listed only as “protein” as protein because you can’t trust the manufacturer to not lie on the label. This site gets literally all of their information from the labels so I’m sure you see why picking and choosing which parts of the label you listen to is a bad thing.
For the record, I don’t feed my cat Royal Canin, I was only commenting on the smell. Nevertheless, I would advise everyone to steer away from that site.
To add to this, the reason I don’t feed my cat Royal Canin is because it’s universally criticized by experts for being high in carbohydrates and this site says it has “significantly lower carbohydrates”.
It’s legit. Her only fault is the data is always slightly out of date because pet food manufacturers are always changing their recipes, which change the dry matter basis values and warnings about ingredients.
It’s all explained on her about page, but basically she has painstakingly built up the database by sourcing everything herself and accepting some community input. I personally have emailed to have things updated.
True but Royal Canin’s beef mix does smell tempting.
Royal Canine is a cat food horrible brand. https://catfooddb.com/brand/royal canin

What exactly is this website? I’d never heard of it. It seems legit, but I’m curious about their sourcing.
