Ingredient Review

Our review of Authority Catfish Entree Adult Pate Canned Cat Food begins with a detailed look at the food’s ingredients.

The first ingredient is Salmon Broth. Salmon broth is made by boiling salmon to obtain nutrients including fat, vitamins, and minerals. In pet food, salmon broth increases moisture and improves flavor.

The second ingredient is Catfish. Catfish is a general term to describe any freshwater or saltwater fish with barbels that resemble a cat’s whiskers around the mouth region. In pet food, catfish can be a good source of protein, amino acids, omega-3 fatty acids, and many other essential nutrients.

The third ingredient is Animal Liver. Animal liver is a general name for a protein-rich organ meat from any animal. The liver in pet food can be a source of important minerals including zinc, copper, iron, and selenium. Depending on its source, animal liver can be of either high or low quality.

The fourth ingredient is Chicken. Chicken is meat from the domesticated bird of the same name. In pet food, chicken is used as a primary protein source.

The fifth ingredient is Dried Egg Product. Dried egg product can refer to dried or dehydrated egg white, yolk, or shells, or a combination of all three. The dried egg product found in pet food is a good source of healthy, easily digested protein.

When we analyzed the ingredients in Authority Catfish Entree Adult Pate Canned Cat Food, we found that most of the protein is derived from meat based sources.
