The “health rating” (1–5) in my list is subjective, based on publicly available information (ingredient marketing, brand reputation, and typical product lines), not on independent lab testing or full nutrient analyses.
The meat percentages are estimates, because many brands do not publicly disclose the exact “% meat vs by-product vs water” for every canned variant. Also, “meat” can mean different things (fresh meat, meat meal, by-products).
Popularity is inferred from market presence (major Turkish pet shops, e-commerce sites, local “best brand” lists) rather than from a public market share report (since such recent detailed public reports are limited).
