Salmon + Cod Grain-Free Dry Cat Food
Summary
Go! Solutions Carnivore Salmon+Cod Recipe (ALS) is a grain-free dry cat food designed for kittens, adult cats, and seniors, focusing on high protein and fish-based nutrition.
The first ingredients are de-boned salmon and de-boned cod, followed by salmon meal and herring meal, ensuring high-quality animal protein sources.
With 42% crude protein and 16% crude fat, this formula meets the dietary needs of obligate carnivores and supports lean muscle maintenance.
Grain-free carbohydrate sources, including peas, lentils, and potatoes, provide digestible energy while avoiding common grain allergens.
Omega-6 (2%) and omega-3 (0.9%) fatty acids, primarily from salmon oil, promote skin health and a shiny coat.
Added probiotics, such as Lactobacillus acidophilus and Enterococcus faecium, along with chelated minerals, enhance digestion and nutrient absorption.
Pros:
- High Protein Content: Contains 42% crude protein from de-boned salmon, cod, and other fish sources, supporting muscle maintenance and growth.
- Rich in Omega Fatty Acids: Omega-3 (0.9%) and omega-6 (2%) fatty acids promote healthy skin, a glossy coat, and overall wellness.
- Digestive Support: Includes probiotics (Lactobacillus acidophilus and Enterococcus faecium) and prebiotics like dried chicory root for improved gut health.
- Chelated Minerals: Zinc proteinate and other chelated minerals are included for better absorption and overall nutrient availability.
- Antioxidant-Rich Formula: Cranberries, apples, and carrots provide antioxidants to support immune health and overall vitality.
Cons:
- Carbohydrate Sources: Ingredients such as peas, lentils, and potatoes contribute plant-based protein and carbohydrates, which may not align with the natural low-carb needs of obligate carnivores.
- Fat Content: At 16%, crude fat is lower than some high-fat options, which might not suit very active or underweight cats needing higher energy intake.
- Ash Content: With a maximum of 8.5%, the mineral content may be unsuitable for cats with urinary or kidney sensitivities.
- Limited Taurine Levels: Taurine is included at 0.2%, meeting minimum requirements but slightly lower than in some other high-protein cat foods.
- Plant Proteins: Peas and lentils contribute plant-based proteins, which are less bioavailable than the fish-derived proteins in this formula.

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.
