Carnilove Active Beef & Venison Grain-Free Dry Cat Food for Sterilised Adults 2kg

Carnilove ACTIVE Beef & Venison Grain-Free Dry Cat Food for Sterilised Adults – 2kg

Of the three sterilised recipes Carnilove make, this is the only one with no poultry in it anywhere — no chicken, no turkey, no duck. The protein is beef and venison: 26% fresh beef, 24% beef protein and 14% venison protein, and 80.0% of the total protein comes from animal sources.

It is also the lowest-calorie of the three at 3,579 kcal/kg, which is the point of a neutered-cat food — a cat's energy requirement drops by roughly a quarter after neutering while its appetite does not. The 2kg bag is about seven weeks for a 4.5kg cat on 55g a day.

Performance & Benefits

• No chicken, turkey or duck in the composition — the only poultry-free recipe in the Carnilove sterilised cat range.
• 38.0% crude protein with 80.0% of it from animal sources.
• 13.0% fat and 3,579 kcal/kg, the least energy-dense of the sterilised recipes.
• Crude fibre at 4.3% from lignocellulose and pumpkin, which helps a hungry cat feel fed.
• Taurine at 2,500 mg/kg and L-methionine at 5,000 mg/kg.
• Grain-free and potato-free; 2kg bag for regular feeding.

Suitable For

• Neutered and spayed adult cats of any breed.
• Cats that have reacted to poultry in other foods.
• Multi-cat households where a 400g bag disappears in days.
• Sodium is 1.0%, so if your cat is on a veterinary diet for heart or kidney disease, check with your vet before switching.
• An entire, lean or very active cat generally does better on the higher-fat Carnilove ACTIVE Salmon & Turkey for Adult Cats.

Feeding

• Carnilove's daily amounts: 2–3kg 30–45g, 3–5kg 45–65g, 5–7kg 65–80g, 7–9kg 80–90g.
• Weigh the portion on kitchen scales — a neutered cat's whole margin for error is about 10g a day.
• Split it between two or more servings, or leave it in a puzzle feeder to slow the eating down.
• Change over across a week, mixing a rising proportion into the old food.
• Fresh water beside the bowl and, ideally, a second bowl elsewhere in the house.
• If your cat is already overweight, work to a vet's target weight rather than the table.
