Summary

Carnilove Fresh Carp & Trout is a grain-free and potato-free dry food explicitly formulated for sterilised adult cats.
The first ingredient is fresh carp (25%), followed by a high inclusion of dried trout (20%), ensuring a fish-based protein profile.
With 34% crude protein and 14% fat, this food is adapted for the metabolic needs of sterilised cats who may require weight control.
A blend of natural antioxidants, berries, and herbs such as cranberries, ginger root, and oregano supports immunity and anti-inflammatory health.
The food includes glucosamine (from hydrolyzed crustacean shells) and chondroitin (from cartilage extract) to help support joint function.
Controlled mineral content, including 0.9% calcium, 0.8% phosphorus, 1.2% sodium, and 0.04% magnesium, promotes urinary tract health.
The 2.4 g/kg taurine and 65 mg/kg L-carnitine support cardiovascular health and fat metabolism, which is especially important post-sterilisation.
With 3,630 kcal/kg energy content, the formulation supports active cats while avoiding excess calorie density for indoor or sedentary pets.

Pros
Expand All
1

Fish-based protein sources

Includes 25% fresh carp and 20% dried trout, contributing to a total crude protein level of 34%.
2

Urinary health support

Features low magnesium (0.04%) and a balanced ratio of calcium (0.9%) and phosphorus (0.8%).
3

Joint health nutrients

Contains glucosamine (0.026%) and chondroitin (0.016%) derived from crustacean shells and cartilage.
4

Omega-rich profile

Provides 0.8% omega-3 and 1.7% omega-6 fatty acids, plus DHA (0.2%) and EPA (0.1%) for coat and brain health.
5

Metabolic support

Includes 2,400 mg/kg taurine and 65 mg/kg L-carnitine to maintain cardiovascular function and healthy fat metabolism.
6

Natural antioxidant blend

Infused with rosemary, sage, blueberries, and sea buckthorn to promote immune resilience.
Cons
Expand All
1

High ash content

The crude ash level is 9.5% above average and may not suit cats with renal sensitivities.
2

Moderate fiber level

At 3.5%, crude fiber may not be sufficient for cats prone to hairballs or digestive sluggishness.
3

No single protein

While fish is predominant, adding chicken liver and hydrolyzed salmon may not suit strict elimination diets.
4

Higher sodium level

Contains 1.2% sodium, which is relatively elevated and may require monitoring in cats with blood pressure concerns.
5

Absence of full amino acid profile

Only a few amino acids are listed (arginine, lysine, methionine), limiting precision for cats with unique dietary needs.
6

Fixed fat level

14% crude fat may still be too high for some sterilised or overweight-prone cats without activity adjustment.

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.
