Summary

Carnilove ACTIVE Dry Food Made with Beef & Venison for Sterilised Cats is a complete dry food for sterilised adult cats of all breeds, including indoor and outdoor cats, designed to provide a meat-focused daily diet after sterilization.

The first ingredient is fresh beef at 26%, and it is backed by beef protein at 24% and venison protein at 14%, so beef is clearly the primary protein source while venison adds a second highly digestible meat source.

This red-meat-forward protein setup offers variety for owners looking beyond poultry-based formulas while still keeping the recipe strongly animal-focused.

With 38% crude protein and 80% of total protein coming from animal sources, the food is strongly aligned with supporting lean body condition and everyday muscle maintenance in adult cats.

Its 13% crude fat and metabolizable energy of 3579 kcal/kg create a moderate energy profile that suits many sterilised cats better than an especially rich, high-fat formula.

Lignocellulose and pumpkin contribute functional fiber within a 4.3% crude fiber formula, which can help support stool quality and give meals a more filling feel.

Beef fat, salmon oil, and linseed supply a mix of animal fat and essential fatty acids that support skin condition, coat quality, and everyday energy needs.

Overall, this recipe is best suited to adult sterilised cats whose owners want clearly named beef and venison ingredients, strong animal-protein emphasis, and no soy or unnamed meat sources.

Pros
Expand All
1

Taurine fortification

Added taurine at 2,500 mg helps support normal heart function, vision, and bile acid metabolism, all of which are essential in cats.
2

Urinary-support amino acid

L-methionine at 5,000 mg is a useful addition for sterilised cats because it is commonly used to help maintain a more acidic urinary environment.
3

Antioxidant support

Vitamin E at 720 mg, together with sea buckthorn, blueberries, cranberries, ginger, and rosemary, helps protect cells from oxidative stress and supports immune resilience.
4

Digestive microbiome ingredients

Brewer's yeast provides mannan-oligosaccharides and chicory root provides fructo-oligosaccharides, two prebiotic compounds that help feed beneficial gut bacteria.
5

Clearly defined mineral balance

Calcium at 1.2% and phosphorus at 0.9% provide a transparent major-mineral profile that supports bones and teeth while keeping phosphorus below calcium.
6

Hydrolysed liver inclusion

Hydrolysed liver can improve taste and is generally easier to digest than intact organ tissue, which may help with food acceptance.
Cons
Expand All
1

Higher ash level

At 8.8%, the ash content reflects a fairly notable mineral load, which may be less attractive for cats on mineral-conscious feeding plans.
2

Not a low-sodium formula

Sodium is listed at 1.0%, so owners who have been advised to watch sodium intake will want to take note.
3

Legume-heavy carbohydrate base

Yellow peas and chickpeas appear high in the ingredient list, meaning a meaningful share of the non-meat portion comes from legumes rather than animal ingredients.
4

Low moisture typical of dry food

With 10% moisture, the food contributes limited hydration on its own, so water intake still needs close attention.
5

Multiple animal ingredients

Beef, venison, hydrolysed liver, salmon oil, and egg shells make the recipe less suitable for cats that need a very simple limited-ingredient food trial.
6

Magnesium not declared

Because magnesium is left blank on the label, the full urinary mineral picture is harder to evaluate from the available data.

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.
