Ingredient Review

Our review of Annamaet Grain-Free Chicken & Fish Formula Dry Cat Food begins with a detailed look at the food’s ingredients.

The first ingredient is Chicken Meal. In pet food, chicken meal is often listed as a source of protein. Chicken meal is produced by baking and grinding chicken meat and skin. As a dry form of animal protein, it is most often found in kibble and treats.

The second ingredient is Whitefish Meal. Whitefish meal is a general term for cooked, dried, finely ground meat from whitefish, which are freshwater and saltwater fish species with light-colored flesh. In pet food, whitefish meal is a source of protein and essential nutrients including Omega-3 and Omega-6 essential fatty acids.

The third ingredient is Chicken Fat. Chicken fat is a good source of omega-6 fatty acids including linoleic acid. In pet food, chicken fat also adds flavor, improves consistency, and serves as a source of the animal fat pets need for overall wellbeing.

The fourth ingredient is Mixed Tocopherols. Mixed tocopherols are a form of vitamin E. These antioxidants are used as a natural preservative. In pet food, mixed tocopherols help to prevent spoilage and oxidization.

The fifth ingredient is Field Peas. Also known as cowpeas, field peas are nutritious legumes that are often grown as cover crops. In pet food, field peas can provide protein, carbohydrates, and fiber, along with iron and many other important nutrients.

When we analyzed the ingredients in Annamaet Grain-Free Chicken & Fish Formula Dry Cat Food, we found that most of the protein is derived from meat based sources.
