Ingredient Review
Our review of Caru Classic Chicken & Crab Stew Grain-Free Wet Cat Food begins with a detailed look at the food’s ingredients.
The first 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 second ingredient is Chicken Broth. Chicken broth is made by boiling chicken meat, skin, and bones to obtain nutrients including fat, vitamins, and minerals. In pet food, chicken broth increases moisture and improves flavor.
The third ingredient is Crab. Crab is meat from any decapod crustacean in the crab family. When added to pet food, crab can be a good source of protein, amino acids, B vitamins, and many other nutrients.
The fourth ingredient is Tapioca Starch. Tapioca starch comes from the cassava root. It is often used as a filler or binder, as well as a source of easily digested carbohydrates. Tapioca starch is typically added to grain-free and gluten-free pet foods.
The fifth ingredient is Egg Whites. Egg whites are the clear portion of an egg. In pet food, egg whites can be a vital source of low-fat protein.
