Carnilove Active Lamb & Wild Boar Grain-Free Dry Cat Food for Sterilised Adults 400g

Carnilove ACTIVE Lamb & Wild Boar Grain-Free Dry Cat Food for Sterilised Adults – 400g

Four hundred grams of Carnilove's highest-protein cat recipe — 39.0% crude protein, four fifths of it from animal sources. It is a small enough bag to test on a cat that has turned its nose up at everything else, and to use up while it is still fresh.

Lamb makes up 52% of the composition between fresh lamb and lamb protein, with 4% wild boar protein alongside. Fat is kept to 14.0% and fibre raised to 4.5%, which is the combination a neutered cat needs if it is to feel fed on fewer calories.

Performance & Benefits

• 400g bag — a week or so, and the cheapest way to find out if your cat likes it.
• 39.0% crude protein, the highest Carnilove offer for cats.
• 80.0% of the protein comes from animal sources.
• 26% fresh lamb, 26% lamb protein, 4% wild boar protein.
• 14.0% fat and 4.5% crude fibre, at 3,613 kcal/kg.
• Taurine 2,500 mg/kg and L-methionine 5,000 mg/kg.

Suitable For

• Testing a high-protein recipe on a fussy neutered cat.
• Single-cat households.
• Cats already tried on chicken and fish foods.
• A short trip, a cattery stay or a cat-sitter's cupboard.
• Hydrolysed turkey protein at 8% means it is not poultry-free; Carnilove ACTIVE Beef & Venison for Sterilised Cats is the recipe with no bird 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.
