Summary

Carnilove Salmon & Turkey For Kittens Healthy Growth is a grain-free dry food formulated to support the rapid development needs of kittens through a high-protein, nutrient-dense recipe based on animal ingredients.
The first ingredient, salmon meal, provides a concentrated source of high-quality protein and omega-3 fatty acids, which are essential for brain development, skin health, and immune function in growing kittens.
Turkey meal complements the salmon by offering lean, easily digestible protein that supports muscle growth and overall body development.
With a crude protein level of 40% and fat content of 20%, the formula delivers the high energy density required for kittens’ fast metabolism and active growth phase.
Chicken liver and hydrolyzed chicken protein enhance palatability and provide additional amino acids, vitamins, and minerals critical for organ development and immune support.
Salmon oil contributes to the 0.6% omega-3 content, supporting cognitive development and anti-inflammatory balance during early life stages.
Fruits like cranberries, blueberries, and raspberries, though present in small amounts, offer natural antioxidants that help protect developing cells from oxidative stress.
Functional ingredients, such as glucosamine and chondroitin derived from crustacean shells and cartilage extract, support joint and skeletal development.
Prebiotics from chicory root and brewer’s yeast promote healthy gut flora, aiding digestion and nutrient absorption.
Essential micronutrients including taurine (2,500 mg/kg), vitamin A (25,000 IU/kg), and vitamin E (750 mg/kg) are included at levels that support vision, immune function, and cellular protection in kittens.

Pros
Expand All
1

High protein content

At 40%, the protein level supports rapid muscle and tissue development in growing kittens.
2

Rich in essential fatty acids

including omega-3 (0.6%) and omega-6 (2.7%) fatty acids from salmon oil and chicken fat, these ingredients promote brain development, skin health, and a shiny coat.
3

Joint and skeletal support

Natural sources of glucosamine and chondroitin aid in the formation of strong bones and joints during early growth stages.
4

Digestive health support

Prebiotics like mannan-oligosaccharides and fructo-oligosaccharides help establish a healthy gut microbiome for better digestion and immunity.
5

Antioxidant-rich fruits and herbs

Ingredients such as cranberries, blueberries, and rosemary provide natural antioxidants that support immune defense and cellular health.
6

Taurine and vitamin fortification

High taurine and vitamin A levels support vision, heart health, and immune system development in kittens.
Cons
Expand All
1

High ash content

At 7.5%, the ash level may be excessive for some kittens and could place strain on developing kidneys if not balanced with adequate hydration.
2

Multiple animal protein sources

The inclusion of salmon, turkey, chicken, and chicken liver may not be suitable for kittens with emerging food sensitivities or those requiring limited-ingredient diets.
3

Moderate carbohydrate level

With 20.5% carbohydrates, the formula includes plant-based ingredients such as peas, tapioca, and chickpeas, which may be less suitable for obligate carnivores.
4

Low fruit and herb inclusion rates

While beneficial, the forest fruits and herbs are present in very small quantities (e.g., 0.0008% for berries), limiting their functional impact.

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.
