Carny by Animonda
Carny - Chicken + Trout
Summary
Animonda Carny Chicken + Trout is a grain-free dry food formulated for adult cats, featuring fresh chicken and fish proteins in a digestible, meat-forward recipe.
Fresh chicken (35%) is the first ingredient, delivering a lean and digestible source of animal protein that supports muscle maintenance and energy needs.
Additional animal proteins include dried poultry, hydrolyzed poultry protein, poultry liver, and 4% dried trout, offering a multi-meat base with a total of 65% animal ingredients.
Potato starch and pea starch serve as grain-free carbohydrate sources, with peas and beet pulp contributing fiber for digestive function and stool quality.
Salmon oil (1%) is the source of omega-3 fatty acids, helping to maintain a healthy coat and support anti-inflammatory mechanisms.
Taurine is present at a strong 2,200 mg/kg, ensuring proper cardiac and visual support for obligate carnivores.
The recipe includes chicory pulp for prebiotic fiber and avoids all artificial colors, soy, and added sugars, supporting food sensitivity and ingredient simplicity.
The food has a moderate protein content of 33% and 16% fat, providing balanced energy and nutrient density for adult cats aged 1 to 6 years.
Pros:
Fresh meat focus: With 35% fresh chicken and 65% total animal content, the formula delivers a biologically appropriate protein profile.
Multiple protein sources: Chicken, trout, liver, and hydrolyzed poultry protein provide a varied amino acid range for full-body health.
Taurine concentration: At 2,200 mg/kg, taurine is supplied well above the minimum requirement, offering robust organ and eye protection.
Omega-3 source: Salmon oil inclusion provides EPA and DHA, supporting coat health and reducing inflammatory stress.
Free from grains and fillers: No wheat, soy, or added sugar supports digestive tolerance and reduces allergenic risk.
Cons:
No chelated minerals: Zinc and copper are present in basic salt forms, which may limit mineral bioavailability compared to chelated alternatives.
Plant content includes starches: Potato starch and pea starch add carbohydrate weight without contributing meaningful nutrients for carnivores.
High ash level: At 7.9%, ash is elevated and may not suit cats needing restricted mineral intake, especially for urinary or kidney health.
Limited omega-3 quantity: While salmon oil is present, the omega-3 level (0.45%) is modest relative to formulas focused on coat or joint health.

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.
