Go! Solutions Carnivore Grain-Free Chicken, Turkey + Duck Puppy

Editor ingredient insight

Go! Solutions Carnivore Puppy stacks chicken meal, turkey meal, salmon meal, chicken, turkey, and trout with high protein and minerals. I would use it for energetic puppies tolerating mixed proteins, not for allergy workups or mineral-sensitive large-breed pups.

Logic-based verdict

This food can stay in comparison, but ingredient quality still needs a more conservative read.

Protein source

Ingredient guide

Whole plant protein source observed early

Animal protein

chicken meal (#1), turkey meal (#2), salmon meal (#3), de-boned chicken (#4), de-boned turkey (#5), de-boned trout (#6), duck meal (#12), whole dried egg (#15), herring meal (#17), de-boned duck (#21), de-boned salmon (#22)

Plant protein

peas (#9), lentils (#11), chickpeas (#13)

The protein number may include influence from whole plant ingredients.

This is not treated like processed protein boosting, but it is worth checking.

There is enough public data to keep this food in comparison, but the top ingredient structure does not support a stronger positive claim yet.

Nutritional strengths

  • Crude protein is on the higher side.
  • Nutrient disclosure is broad enough to compare real numbers directly.

What still needs work

  • Phosphorus is 1.4% on the label, at or above 1%. Senior dogs or dogs with kidney concerns should have phosphorus restriction reviewed with a veterinarian before using it as a staple food.
  • Whole plant protein sources can contribute to crude protein, so the animal-protein share still needs a closer read.
  • Top ingredients include an FDA-investigated non-hereditary DCM ingredient profile, so this part deserves a more cautious read.
