Carnilove Cat Pouch Trout with Echinacea 85g

Carnilove Cat Pouch – Trout with Echinacea, 85g

The only fish recipe among Carnilove's herb-paired cat pouches, and the leanest of them: 7.0% crude protein, 4.5% fat, 2.0% crude ash and 870 kcal/kg. Trout fillets are 14% of the meat content, with 1% dried echinacea.

Carnilove list this one as a gravy pouch for adult cats. The rest of the 90% meat and organ content is turkey at 66% and turkey liver at 10%, so a cat avoiding poultry cannot have it, whatever the name on the front suggests.

Performance & Benefits

• 14% trout fillets, the only fish recipe in this pouch range.
• 90% meat and organs in fillets overall.
• 7.0% crude protein and 2.0% crude ash, the lowest figures of the five pouches.
• 870 kcal/kg on 80.0% moisture.
• 1% dried echinacea and 1% linseed oil.
• Taurine at 1,400 mg/kg; no soy, sugar, artificial colours or preservatives.

Suitable For

• Adult cats of all breeds.
• Cats that prefer fish to meat.
• Adding moisture to a diet based on dry food.
• Cats needing a lower-ash wet food, at 2.0% against 2.5% elsewhere in the range.
• Not suitable for a cat avoiding poultry — turkey and turkey liver are 76% of the fillet content. Carnilove ACTIVE Beef & Venison for Sterilised Cats is the poultry-free food we stock.

Feeding

• Carnilove's guide for adult cats: a 3kg cat 3.5 pouches a day, a 4–6kg cat 4–4.5, a 6–8kg cat 4.5–5.
• Scale it back proportionally where dry food makes up part of the diet.
• Serve at room temperature rather than straight from the fridge.
• An opened pouch keeps in the fridge for up to three days, or can be frozen.
• Feed alongside fresh water; wet food supplies moisture but does not replace a water bowl.
