The formula features 28% reindeer meat meal and 28% wild boar meat meal as primary protein sources, offering a nutrient-dense profile rich in natural antioxidants and unsaturated fats.
This food delivers 41% protein and 19% fat, supporting high energy demands and maintaining lean muscle mass in active cats.
Salmon oil (2%) and flaxseed (1%) contribute 0.34% omega-3 and 2.35% omega-6 fatty acids to skin and coat health.
Joint support includes glucosamine (from crustacean shells) and chondroitin (from cartilage extract).

Cons
Expand All
1

Low omega-3 levels

Despite fish oil inclusion, the omega-3 content is relatively low at 0.34%, which may be insufficient for cats with inflammation or skin conditions.
2

Moderate fiber level

With only 2.5% crude fiber, it may not be ideal for indoor cats or those needing additional digestive support.
3

No live probiotic cultures listed

The formula uses prebiotics but lacks guaranteed probiotics like Bacillus species.
4

Limited phosphorus control

0.9% phosphorus may not be suitable for cats with early kidney disease or requiring mineral-restricted diets.
5

Single-source animal fats

Chicken fat is the only primary fat source, which might not appeal to cats with specific sensitivities.
6

Contains common allergens

Although grain-free, ingredients like chicken liver and chicken fat may not suit cats with poultry allergies.

Provide as many details as possible about Carnilove: Reindeer – For Adult Cats with access to Outdoors so we can make it better!

How the score is calculated?

The actual calculation of the score is based on sophisticated and advanced algorithm that takes into account multiple parameters.

To simplify the explanation, the calculation is based on three main criteria:

(1) Amount of protein (more is better)

(2) Amount of carbohydrates (less is better)

(3) Quality and source of ingredients.

Based on that 3 main criteria, 9 score calculation rules are used to compare the different foods.

One major assumption is that the closer an ingredient is to the top of the ingredient list, the greater its relative weight and contribution to the food.

In general, cat food is composed of protein, fats, carbohydrates, fibers, vitamins, and minerals.

Protein is the most important component in a cat's diet, and cats primarily get their protein from animal meat.

Fat is a primary source of energy and essential fatty acids.

Carbohydrates are controversial in a cat's diet, as cats are obligate carnivores and typically consume very few carbohydrates.

Fibers play an important role in digestion and food absorption, and vitamins and minerals are essential for different organism functions.

Dry matter values are used to compare the amount of nutrients in different cat foods. This means that moisture is excluded from the equation to provide a more accurate comparison.

Putting all of these and more into a formula results in a product score.

The maximum score a cat food can receive is 100. Points are added or removed based on the score calculation rules.
