Go! Solutions Carnivore Grain-Free Chicken, Turkey + Duck Adult Recipe Dry Dog Food
The first five ingredients are Chicken Meal, Turkey Meal, Salmon Meal, De-boned Chicken, De-boned Turkey. 5 of them are a named animal protein. We put the starch at 34.4%, below the 38.51% average across the foods we hold.
High protein once the water is taken out, and a low share of the bag left over as starch.
How we got to 85
Five things, one hundred points, and the reason for every one. We would rather show our working than ask you to trust a number.
26-32% dm reads typical mainstream.
Estimated, 6% ash assumed.

Manufacturer, not recipe.
The numbers, without the water
Percentages on a bag include the water in the food, so a wet food always looks lower than a dry one. Taking the water out puts any two foods on the same footing. This one is 90% dry matter.
That is 4.1 points below average, so proportionally less of the bag is starch.

What those first ingredients actually are
The top of the list is most of the food by weight, so it is worth knowing what each one is. Green marks a named animal protein.
Chicken Meal
Chicken that has been cooked, dried and ground into a concentrated meal, with most of the water and fat removed.
Turkey Meal
Turkey that has been cooked, dried and ground into a concentrated meal with most of the water removed.
Salmon Meal
Salmon that has been cooked, dried and ground into a concentrated meal with most of the water removed.
How much of this to feed
A starting point, worked out from the resting energy formula vets use and this food's own calorie density. Every dog is different, so watch their weight and adjust. Your vet's advice beats a calculator.

Recall history
Recalls are matched to the manufacturer, not this exact recipe. A recall on a different product still tells you something about the plant it came from.
We have not matched any FDA recall to Go! Solutions. We check the feed daily and this page updates when that changes.
