Born Carnivore - Herring With Salmon
Summary
Schesir Born Carnivore – Herring With Salmon is a grain-free, oven-baked dry food for adult cats that emphasizes high animal protein (43%) with a stated 12% minimum carbohydrate content to align with feline carnivorous needs.
Fresh herring (33%) is the first ingredient, supported by dehydrated herring and dehydrated salmon, making fish the primary protein source to support lean muscle and provide marine omega-3s.
At 20.5% crude fat, the recipe is energy-dense—well suited to active cats—so portion control may be important for indoor or less active cats.
Egg powder and hydrolyzed chicken protein add highly digestible amino acids and enhance palatability to help sustain muscle maintenance.
A targeted fiber blend—tomato pomace (0.75%), inulin (0.1%), pumpkin (0.1%), and legumes—supports stool quality, regularity, and gentle digestion.
Omega-3 (5.2%) and omega-6 (2.9%) fatty acids from fish, flaxseed (3%), salmon oil (0.1%), and canola oil (4.7%) help nourish the skin and coat while supporting a healthy inflammatory balance.
Key micronutrients include added taurine (493 mg) for heart and vision function, vitamin A (30,590 IU) and vitamin D3 (547 IU) for immune and bone support, and vitamin E (60 mg) for antioxidant protection.
Sodium (0.62%) and potassium (1.16%) contribute to electrolyte balance, and natural antioxidants (mixed tocopherols, rosemary extract) help protect fats from oxidation.
The grain-free carbohydrate sources—peas, chickpeas, and tapioca—provide structure and energy while helping keep overall starch lower.
Made in Canada and oven-baked to help preserve vitamins and minerals, the kibble offers a crunchy texture that many cats enjoy.

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.
