Carnilove True Fresh: Cat Turkey Enriched With Sea Buckthorn, Cranberries, and Ginger Root is a grain-free, potato-free formula for adult and sterilized cats.

The first and dominant ingredient is fresh turkey, which comprises 70% of the formula and offers a lean, easily digestible protein source.

It incorporates lentils, buckwheat, and peas as vegetable protein and fiber sources to support metabolism and weight control.

Dietary fiber is present at 4%, and L-carnitine at 100 mg/kg, helping maintain healthy body weight.

Natural functional components like cranberries, sea buckthorn, and ginger root contribute to urinary tract and immune health.

The crude protein content is 34% and fat 13%, suitable for maintaining lean muscle in adult cats.

Omega-3 (0.4%) and omega-6 (1.5%) fatty acids help maintain coat condition, while DHA and EPA support cognitive and joint function.

With 3,560 kcal/kg, it provides a moderate energy profile for cats with normal activity levels.

Cons:

• Moderate fat level: At 13%, may still be too high for overweight or less active cats despite being labelled for weight control.
