Go! Solutions Skin+Coat Care Chicken Recipe with Grains (ALS) is a complete and balanced dry cat food designed for kittens, adults, and seniors, supporting optimal skin and coat health.

Chicken meal, a high-protein dehydrated source, is the first ingredient, complemented by de-boned chicken for fresh meat benefits.

It contains whole brown rice, white rice, and oatmeal as digestible carbohydrate sources, along with chicken fat and salmon oil to deliver essential fatty acids.

The guaranteed analysis ensures a minimum of 32% crude protein and 20% crude fat, meeting the high-energy and protein needs of cats.

Omega-6 (4%) and omega-3 (0.4%) fatty acids enhance skin health and coat quality, while chelated minerals and probiotics improve nutrient absorption and digestion.

This food is formulated to maintain overall health with added taurine (0.21%) for heart and vision support.

Pros:

• High Protein Content: With 32% crude protein, sourced primarily from chicken meal and de-boned chicken, it supports muscle maintenance and overall health.
• Healthy Fats for Energy: At 20% crude fat, including chicken fat and salmon oil, it provides a concentrated energy source while supporting skin and coat health.
• Digestible Carbohydrates: Whole brown rice, white rice, and oatmeal offer easily digestible energy suitable for active cats.
• Rich in Essential Fatty Acids: Omega-6 (4%) and omega-3 (0.4%) fatty acids contribute to a shiny coat and healthy skin.
• Chelated Minerals: Includes zinc proteinate and other chelated minerals for better nutrient absorption and support for vital bodily functions.
• Probiotics for Digestion: Added Lactobacillus acidophilus and Enterococcus faecium promote a healthy gut microbiome and improve digestion.

Cons:

• Moderate Carbohydrate Content: The inclusion of grains like rice and oatmeal raises carbohydrate levels, which may not align with the natural low-carb diet of obligate carnivores.
• Ash Content: A maximum of 8% ash might concern cats with urinary or kidney sensitivities, as excessive minerals can increase risk for certain conditions.
• Limited Taurine: Taurine is included at 0.21%, which meets requirements but could be higher for specialized heart and eye support.
• Plant-Derived Protein: Ingredients like flaxseed and alfalfa contribute plant-based proteins, which are less bioavailable than animal proteins.
• Salmon Oil at a Lower Level: Though present, the omega-3 content (0.4%) is on the lower side compared to other skin-and-coat-focused formulas.
