Summary
Carnilove TRUE FRESH Beef Dry food for Adult Cats is a complete dry formula for adult large breed cats over 4 kg, built around fresh beef as the first ingredient and main animal protein source.
The stated 70% fresh beef inclusion, together with 80% animal protein from total protein content, shows a strong emphasis on animal-derived nutrition for maintaining muscle mass and overall body condition in adult cats.
With 35% crude protein, 16% crude fat, and 3,750 kcal/kg, the recipe offers a nutrient-dense maintenance profile rather than a specialized weight-control food.
Beef is identified by the product as a rich source of highly digestible protein, iron, zinc, and B vitamins, which support immunity, metabolism, and normal nervous system function.
Species-identified beef fat, plus salmon oil and linseed, broaden the fat sources in the formula and provide the listed 3% omega-6 and 0.3% omega-3 for skin and coat support.
Sea buckthorn is a standout functional ingredient here, and the product specifically links it to antioxidant protection, immune support, heart health, and digestive support.
The food is positioned for both indoor and outdoor adults, making it a broad everyday option for bigger cats rather than a kitten or senior formula.
Overall, it is best matched to adult cats over 4 kg whose owners want a beef-centered diet with clearly named animal ingredients and added botanical functionality.
Pros:
- Controlled mineral profile: Calcium at 1.3%, phosphorus at 0.8%, magnesium at 0.05%, and sodium at 0.2% keep key minerals clearly defined, with especially low magnesium being relevant for urinary mineral management.
- Digestive support blend: Pumpkin, chicory root as a source of fructo-oligosaccharides, and brewer’s yeast as a source of mannan-oligosaccharides add fiber and prebiotic support for beneficial gut bacteria and stool quality.
- Joint-support additives: Hydrolyzed crustacean shells provide glucosamine and cartilage extract supplies chondroitin, adding structural nutrients that can be useful for larger adult cats.
- Taurine and choline fortification: Taurine at 2,500 mg/kg supports heart and vision health, while choline chloride at 4,200 mg/kg helps normal fat metabolism and liver function.
- Added L-methionine: The 5,000 mg/kg inclusion contributes an essential amino acid and supports urinary acid balance.
- High vitamin E inclusion: Vitamin E at 720 mg adds direct antioxidant support that helps protect cells from oxidative stress.
Cons:
- Legume-heavy recipe: Yellow peas appear immediately after fresh beef, and chickpeas plus red lentils increase reliance on legumes for the recipe’s non-meat portion.
- Plant protein concentration: Pea protein is listed high in the ingredient panel, so part of the formula’s protein comes from a plant concentrate rather than animal tissue.
- Fresh meat loses water during processing: The stated 70% fresh beef includes natural moisture, so it does not represent the same percentage of meat solids in the finished dry kibble.
- Energy-dense formula: At 3,750 kcal/kg, portion control may be important for less active cats or cats that gain weight easily.
- Noticeable ash content: Crude ash at 7.9% indicates a meaningful total mineral residue in the final product.

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.
