GO! Solutions (Petcurean): what is in it, and what we would feed instead
Carnivore, Sensitivity + Shine, Skin + Coat Care · Pet Valu, PetSmart, independents — Petcurean is based in Chilliwack, BC; kibble is made in Elmira, Ontario
Our take
GO! is a well-made Canadian kibble from a company we respect. The format is the limit, not the ingredient list: it is cooked into a pellet and it needs starch to hold together.
What the label says
GO! Solutions is made by Petcurean, a BC-based premium kibble maker. The ingredient quality is genuinely solid — clearly named proteins, real whole foods. But the same format ceiling applies as with any other extruded kibble, and several GO! recipes carry the same pea-heavy concerns as other premium grain-free brands.
- Family-owned (a positive) but still extruded high-heat kibble
- Sensitivity + Shine includes pea protein and pea fibre
- 30–45% carbohydrate, like most kibble
- Protein meals (chicken meal, turkey meal) carry much of the protein
- One formula, fed for years, is the norm
- Fats in the bag oxidize over the weeks it is open
- Whole, named protein
- Moisture in the food (raw is about 70% water; kibble about 10%)
- Protein rotation
- No starch binder
- Fresh fats and omega-3s
Carbohydrate reality check: Even GO!'s "high-protein" recipes calculate to 25-35% carbohydrates after running the math (100 − protein − fat − moisture − fibre − 7%). The kibble format requires starch as a binder; you cannot extrude a kibble pellet without it.
The switch at Barks N Purrs
COEVO FD+K (also BC-made) is the natural step up if you want to stay scoop-and-feed. Perfectly Raw or Big Country Raw is the full move.
