Carnilove Active Duck & Pheasant Grain-Free Dry Cat Food for Sterilised Adults 2kg

Carnilove ACTIVE Duck & Pheasant Grain-Free Dry Cat Food for Sterilised Adults – 2kg

Duck and pheasant give this recipe its character: 26% fresh duck, 20% duck protein and 14% hydrolysed pheasant protein, both game birds that a cat raised on chicken-and-fish supermarket food will never have tasted. Magnesium is declared at 0.1% and phosphorus at 1.1%.

It is a sterilised formulation, so the fat is held at 13.0% and the energy at 3,557 kcal/kg while protein stays at 36.0%. The 2kg bag is the everyday size; at 55g a day for a 4.5kg cat it runs to about seven weeks.

Performance & Benefits

• 26% fresh duck, 20% duck protein and 14% hydrolysed pheasant protein.
• 36.0% crude protein with 75.0% of it from animal sources.
• 13.0% fat and 3,557 kcal/kg, set for a neutered cat's slower metabolism.
• Crude fibre 4.4% from lignocellulose and pumpkin to help with satiety.
• Taurine 2,500 mg/kg and L-methionine 5,000 mg/kg.
• Grain-free and potato-free. 2kg resealable bag.

Suitable For

• Neutered adult cats of all breeds.
• Cats that have already tried chicken and fish recipes without success.
• Households feeding two or more cats the same food.
• This is not a poultry-free recipe — duck and pheasant are both birds, and there is 4% hydrolysed turkey protein as well. For a cat reacting to poultry as a group, Carnilove ACTIVE Beef & Venison for Sterilised Cats is the one with no birds in it.

Feeding

• Carnilove's daily amounts: 2–3kg 30–45g, 3–5kg 45–65g, 5–7kg 65–80g, 7–9kg 80–90g.
• Weigh the portion on kitchen scales — a neutered cat's whole margin for error is about 10g a day.
• Split it between two or more servings, or leave it in a puzzle feeder to slow the eating down.
• Change over across a week, mixing a rising proportion into the old food.
• Fresh water beside the bowl and, ideally, a second bowl elsewhere in the house.
• If your cat is already overweight, work to a vet's target weight rather than the table.
