Born Carnivore - Chicken With Herring & Salmon
Summary
Schesir Born Carnivore – Chicken With Herring & Salmon is a grain-free, oven-baked dry cat food made in Canada that emphasizes high animal-protein nutrition.
Fresh chicken (20%) is the first ingredient, supported by dehydrated chicken protein and marine fish (herring and salmon) plus egg to deliver dense animal amino acids for muscle maintenance.
The first six ingredients are animal-sourced, aligning the recipe with feline carnivorous needs and prioritizing meat over plant matter.
At 45% crude protein and 20% fat, the formula provides a robust protein-to-energy profile aimed at supporting lean muscle and fueling active cats.
Carbohydrates are kept low at a stated 11.3% (minimum), reducing reliance on starches while still providing structure through tapioca and legumes.
Omega fatty acids are prominent, with omega-3 at 3.57% and omega-6 at 2.86%, contributed by salmon, herring, salmon oil, and linseed to support skin, coat, and a healthy inflammatory balance.
Targeted fiber sources—such as inulin (0.1%), tomato pomace (0.5%), pumpkin (0.05%), peas, and chickpeas—promote stool quality and gentle digestive regularity.
Key electrolytes and minerals are declared, including magnesium at 0.14%, potassium at 0.85%, sodium at 0.47%, and ash at 10.9%, allowing informed monitoring for cats needing mineral oversight.
Micronutrient fortification includes taurine (493 mg) along with vitamin A (30,590 IU), vitamin D3 (547 IU), vitamin E (60 mg), and B‑complex vitamins to support vision, heart function, metabolism, and antioxidant protection.
Oven baking is intended to help preserve vitamins and minerals compared to more intensive processing methods.

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.
