Let’s walk this range the way a clinic team and a specialty retailer would: case-first, then formulation—so you can match a clear clinical need to a clear nutrition tool. Carni Vet Diet emphasizes highly digestible bases, defined functional actives (prebiotics, peptides, colostrum, carnitine, citrate, etc.), and transparent analytics to support decision-making in practice and on the shop floor.
Use dietetic foods under veterinary advice where applicable. Fresh water must be available at all times. Transition gradually unless otherwise clinically indicated.
For kittens with developmental challenges or acute absorption issues; supportive for queens during gestation/lactation.
Nutrition strategy (story):
Start with digestibility and density. This recipe drives energy (ME 4,476 kcal/kg) with 25% fat and 34% protein so small stomachs can still meet high needs. Colostrum (0.2%) and salmon peptides support mucosal immunity and gut barrier “training” during vulnerable windows. Fish oil and rice bran oil provide essential fatty acids; sodium tripolyphosphate (0.3%) supports oral hygiene when eruption and teething make mouths sensitive.
Key inclusions (from label): poultry protein meal; rice; poultry oil; chicken meat; pea starch meal; dehydrated chicken meat; beet pulp fibre; hydrolysed poultry liver; salmon peptides; fish oil; rice bran oil; pea fibre; sodium tripolyphosphate 0.3%; brewer’s yeast; colostrum 0.2%; taurine; L-carnitine; glucosamine 375 mg/kg; chondroitin 280 mg/kg; antioxidant.
Analytical (as fed): Protein 34% · Fat 25% · Fibre 1.8% · Ash 7% · Moisture 7% · ME 4,476 kcal/kg.
When this tool fits: small or underdeveloped kittens, poor stool quality from malabsorption, high-demand lactation periods, growth catch-up plans.
For acute digestive disorders and to support intestinal health.
Nutrition strategy:
Keep it gentle and simple: rice-led carbohydrate, high digestibility proteins, and a microbiome toolkit—MOS + inulin + chicory fibre + hydrolysed yeast—to stabilize stools. Fish oil supplies EPA/DHA; sunflower oil supports caloric density without overwhelming bile-dependent digestion. Salmon peptides add small, readily absorbed amino fragments when brush borders are inflamed.
Key inclusions: rice; poultry protein meal; maize protein; chicken meat; sunflower oil; fish oil; beet pulp fibre; salmon peptides; hydrolysed poultry liver; hydrolysed yeast; pea fibre; chicory fibre; MOS; taurine; inulin; L-carnitine; antioxidant.
Analytical: Protein 33% · Fat 21% · Fibre 2.5% · Ash 5.5% · Moisture 7% · ME 4,278 kcal/kg.
Use notes: ideal for acute GI episodes and post-insult reintroduction; typically split into smaller, more frequent meals during stabilization.
For weight reduction and control in overweight/obese cats.
Nutrition strategy:
Create a calorie deficit without sacrificing lean mass. This is high-protein (42%), low-fat (9%), with a functional fibre matrix (10% crude fibre) including cellulose to increase satiety and reduce energy density. L-carnitine supports fatty acid transport; joint nutraceuticals (glucosamine 375 mg/kg; chondroitin 280 mg/kg) acknowledge the mechanical load on joints during reduction.
Key inclusions: poultry protein meal; maize protein; rice; spelt; pea fibre; dehydrated chicken meat; beet pulp fibre; fish protein meal; hydrolysed chicken protein; cellulose; fish oil; chicory fibre; taurine; brewer’s yeast; glucosamine/chondroitin; L-carnitine; antioxidant.
Analytical: Protein 42% · Fat 9% · Fibre 10% · Ash 7.5% · Moisture 7% · ME 3,428 kcal/kg.
Use notes: pair with measured portions; expect improved stool bulk/satiety signals; monitor weight weekly and adjust grams, not brand.
For prevention of recurrence after struvite stones have been eliminated.
Nutrition strategy:
Focus on a favourable urinary environment and hydration behaviors. This formula brings cranberry (urinary wellness narrative) and potassium citrate alongside controlled minerals and moderate fat (16%) to support maintenance. Fish oil contributes anti-inflammatory lipids for lower urinary tract comfort.
Key inclusions: poultry protein meal; maize; chicken meat; maize protein; pea starch meal; poultry oil; rice; beet pulp fibre; fish oil; pea fibre; cranberry; brewer’s yeast; taurine; L-carnitine; potassium citrate; antioxidant.
Analytical: Protein 34% · Fat 16% · Fibre 2.5% · Ash 5.5% · Moisture 7% · ME 4,044 kcal/kg.
Use notes: encourage water intake (multiple bowls/fountains). For post-dissolution maintenance; periodic urinalysis recommended.
To support kidney function in chronic kidney disease (CKD).
Nutrition strategy:
Dial back protein load (23%) while maintaining energy density (ME 4,098 kcal/kg) with 17% fat so cats can eat less volume and still meet calories—key for CKD appetite patterns. Includes MOS, targeted amino supplementation (L-lysine, L-tryptophan, L-threonine) to balance a gentler protein level, and fish oil for omega-3 support.
Key inclusions: rice; maize; maize protein; poultry oil; pea starch meal; poultry protein meal; hydrolysed liver; beet pulp fibre; dried chicken meat; potato protein; fish oil; pea fibre; MOS; brewer’s yeast; taurine; L-lysine, L-tryptophan, L-threonine; L-carnitine; antioxidant.
Analytical: Protein 23% · Fat 17% · Fibre 2.5% · Ash 5% · Moisture 7% · ME 4,098 kcal/kg.
Use notes: transition gently; monitor BCS, appetite, hydration; pair with routine renal monitoring. (Phosphorus not provided on-label here—verify from tech sheet if you need exact mg/1000 kcal.)
For elimination diets, adverse food reactions (AFR), and sensitive skin/coat where immune triggers are low threshold.
Nutrition strategy:
Strip the variable antigens and hydrolyse the protein. Hydrolysed salmon is the primary protein, with rice & potato as typically well-tolerated carbohydrate sources. Keep fats clean (sunflower + fish oil) and microbiome supported (MOS). This builds a controlled-antigen platform for diagnosis or long-term management.
Key inclusions: hydrolysed salmon; rice; potatoes; beet pulp fibre; sunflower oil; fish oil; pea fibre; MOS; taurine; L-carnitine; antioxidant.
Analytical: Protein 28% · Fat 11% · Fibre 3% · Ash 8% · Moisture 7% · ME 3,676 kcal/kg.
Use notes: for strict trials, maintain exclusive feeding 6–8 weeks; manage treats carefully; document pruritus/GI scores.
For helping eliminate existing struvite stones.
Nutrition strategy:
A highly digestible, rice-led base with targeted urinary support components. The inclusion of cranberry and potassium citrate sits alongside controlled mineral delivery; fish oil offers anti-inflammatory support for LUT discomfort during dissolution protocols.
Key inclusions: rice; poultry protein meal; chicken meat; maize protein; pea starch meal; poultry oil; potato protein; beet pulp fibre; fish oil; pea fibre; cranberry; brewer’s yeast; taurine; L-carnitine; potassium citrate; antioxidant.
Analytical: Protein 34% · Fat 16% · Fibre 2.5% · Ash 5.5% · Moisture 7% · ME 4,084 kcal/kg.
Use notes: dissolution programs should be vet-directed with follow-up urinalysis/imaging. Ensure abundant water access and litter box hygiene to encourage frequent voiding.
