Carnilove ACTIVE Dry Food Made with Lamb & Wild Boar for Sterilised Cats is a complete dry food for sterilised adult cats of all breeds, built around Fresh Lamb 26% as the first ingredient and reinforced by Lamb Protein 26% for a clearly lamb-led recipe.

Carnilove states that lamb is the dominant protein source, while wild boar protein and turkey hydrolyzed protein expand the animal amino acid profile beyond a single-meat formula.

With 39% crude protein and 14% crude fat, the nutrient balance emphasizes protein over fat to help support lean tissue in sterilized adult cats.

The food also declares that 80% of total protein comes from animal sources, which matters because cats use animal protein efficiently for muscle and tissue maintenance.

Pumpkin, lignocellulose, brewer’s yeast, and chicory root add fiber plus prebiotic compounds that can help support stool quality and a healthier intestinal environment.

Added taurine at 2,500 mg and L-methionine at 5,000 mg strengthen the formula for heart and eye function while also supporting urinary goals commonly considered in sterilized cats.

Calcium at 1%, phosphorus at 0.8%, and magnesium at 0.1% give owners a clearly stated mineral profile, and the metabolizable energy is listed at 3613 kcal/kg for daily feeding management.

Because it is positioned for sterilised adults and labeled for both indoor and outdoor cats, this recipe is best suited to everyday maintenance feeding rather than growth or kitten use.

Pros:

• Hypoallergenic lamb foundation: The formula is labeled hypoallergenic, and lamb is described as easily digestible and rich in essential amino acids, selenium, iron, and B vitamins that support muscle and overall vitality.

• Skin and coat fatty acids: Salmon oil at 1% and linseed supply fatty acids that help support skin condition and coat quality.

• Antioxidant package: Vitamin E at 720 mg, plus sea buckthorn, blueberries, cranberries, and rosemary, adds antioxidant support that helps protect cells from everyday oxidative stress.

• Transparent animal sourcing: The main meats and fat are clearly identified as lamb, wild boar, turkey, and beef fat, so the animal sources are not hidden behind vague ingredient terms.

• Free from soy and certain synthetic additives: Detection results reported no soy, food colors, BHT, BHA, or ethoxyquin, which keeps the formula free of several additives many owners prefer to avoid.

• Broad micronutrient support: Choline, B vitamins, zinc, iron, copper, manganese, and iodine help energy metabolism, red blood cell production, skin integrity, and thyroid function.

Cons:

• Multi-protein complexity: Lamb, turkey hydrolyzed protein, wild boar protein, hydrolysed liver, and beef fat make the recipe less suitable for cats that need a strict single-protein or elimination-style diet.

• Legume-heavy carbohydrate base: Yellow peas and chickpeas are the main carbohydrate ingredients, so part of the formula’s bulk comes from legumes rather than animal ingredients.

• High ash level: At 9%, crude ash indicates a notable mineral load that may deserve extra attention in cats already needing tighter mineral management.

• Omega balance leans toward omega-6: The food provides 2.6% omega-6 but only 0.2% omega-3, so the fatty acid profile is not especially omega-3-rich despite the salmon oil inclusion.

• Added salt and sodium level: Sodium is listed at 0.85% and the formula includes sodium chloride, which may be less ideal for cats on sodium-restricted feeding plans.
