ChickenSummary
Go! Solutions Carnivore Grain-Free Chicken, Turkey + Duck Recipe is a high-protein, grain-free dry cat food suitable for kittens, adults, and seniors.
Chicken meal is the primary ingredient, complemented by de-boned chicken, turkey, duck, and various fish meals, providing 46% crude protein for optimal muscle maintenance.
Grain-free carbohydrates, including peas, potatoes, and lentils, offer digestible energy while avoiding common grain allergens.
The recipe includes 18% crude fat, sourced from chicken fat and salmon oil, ensuring energy and support for skin and coat health.
Omega-6 (2.9%) and omega-3 (0.3%) fatty acids promote healthy skin and a glossy coat, with added taurine (0.21%) for heart and eye health.
Chelated minerals and probiotics enhance nutrient absorption and digestion, while fruits and vegetables provide natural antioxidants to support overall health.
Pros:
- Exceptionally High Protein: Contains 46% crude protein, primarily from chicken, turkey, duck, and fish, supporting lean muscle growth and maintenance.
- Rich in Omega-6 Fatty Acids: At 2.9%, omega-6 supports a shiny coat and healthy skin, with additional omega-3 from salmon oil for balance.
- Digestive Support: Features probiotics (Lactobacillus acidophilus and Enterococcus faecium) and prebiotics like dried chicory root for gut health.
- Chelated Minerals: Includes zinc proteinate and other chelated minerals for better nutrient absorption and immune system support.
- Antioxidant Boost: Ingredients like blueberries, cranberries, and pomegranate provide antioxidants for immune system health and cellular repair.
Cons:
- Higher Ash Content: With a maximum of 9%, the mineral load may not be ideal for cats prone to urinary or kidney sensitivities.
- Carbohydrate Sources: Peas, potatoes, and lentils contribute plant-based carbohydrates, which may not align with the natural low-carb diet of obligate carnivores.
- Lower Omega-3 Content: Omega-3 is included at 0.3%, which is relatively low compared to other skin-and-coat-focused recipes.
- Plant Protein Inclusion: Lentils and peas contribute plant-based protein, which is less bioavailable than the animal protein sources.
- Fat Content: At 18%, crude fat is moderate, and cats with higher energy needs may require additional sources of fat.

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.
