Summary

Schesir Born Carnivore – Chicken With Egg is a grain-free, oven-baked dry food for adult cats that emphasizes high animal protein with minimal carbohydrates.
Fresh chicken is the first ingredient (34%), delivering highly digestible animal protein to support lean muscle maintenance.
Dehydrated, dried, and hydrolyzed chicken proteins further concentrate amino acids for digestibility and palatability, while egg powder contributes a complete amino acid profile.
The recipe lists 45% crude protein and 20% fat, creating a dense, meat-forward nutrient profile aligned with an obligate carnivore’s needs.
A stated minimum carbohydrate content of 11.4% limits reliance on starch in this kibble.
Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids (3.1% and 3.6%) from linseed, canola oil, and salmon oil support skin and coat condition.
Linseed (3.5%), inulin (0.1%), pumpkin (0.05%), and 3% crude fiber provide functional fiber that aids digestion and stool quality.
Brewers’ yeast together with a B‑vitamin premix (e.g., niacin 94 mg, thiamine 17.1 mg, pyridoxine 6.7 mg) supports energy metabolism and nervous system function.
Taurine is listed at 493 mg to support cardiac function and vision, and vitamins A (30,590 IU), D3 (547 IU), and E (60 mg) contribute to immune, bone, and antioxidant support.
Electrolytes are disclosed—sodium 0.36%, potassium 0.68%, magnesium 0.2%—providing transparency on mineral balance, and the food is made in Canada.

Pros
Expand All
1

Animal-protein focused

Top five ingredients are animal-sourced with fresh chicken first and 45% crude protein to support strong, lean muscles.
2

Lower carbohydrate load

The stated 11.4% minimum carbohydrate content reduces reliance on starch in an adult dry diet.
3

Skin and coat nourishment

Declared omega-3 (3.1%) and omega-6 (3.6%)—from linseed, canola oil, and salmon oil—help maintain a healthy skin barrier and shiny coat.
4

Digestive support

Linseed, inulin, pumpkin, and 3% crude fiber contribute fermentable and insoluble fibers that promote healthy digestion and stool quality.
5

Taurine and vitamin fortification

Taurine (493 mg) plus vitamins A, D3, E, and B-complex support heart and eye health, bone metabolism, antioxidant defenses, and energy use.
6

Mineral transparency

Disclosed sodium (0.36%) and potassium (0.68%) provide clarity on electrolyte content relevant to hydration and cellular function.
Cons
Expand All
1

High ash content

At 10.6%, the mineral load is relatively high and may warrant caution for cats with urinary or kidney sensitivities.
2

Magnesium level

Magnesium is declared at 0.2%, which may not suit cats that require tightly controlled magnesium for urinary tract management.
3

Multiple chicken proteins plus egg

The use of several chicken protein fractions and egg may limit suitability for cats with chicken or egg sensitivities.
4

Plant-derived carbohydrates present

Tapioca and legumes (chickpeas, peas) add starch and plant proteins that some owners prefer to minimize.
5

Key minerals not specified

Calcium and phosphorus values—and the Ca:P ratio—are not provided, limiting assessment of skeletal and urinary mineral balance.
6

Energy data missing

Metabolizable energy is not listed, making precise portion planning more difficult.

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.
