Ingredient Review
Our review of Dave's Pet Food Naturally Healthy Grain-Free Tuna & Salmon Dinner in Aspic Canned Cat Food begins with a detailed look at the food’s ingredients.
The first ingredient is Tuna. Tuna is a general name for one of several saltwater fish species. In pet food, tuna is generally used as a protein source.
The second ingredient is Tuna Broth. Tuna broth is made by boiling any species of tuna fish to obtain nutrients including fat, vitamins, and minerals. It’s often a byproduct of the tuna processing industry. In pet food, tuna broth increases moisture and improves flavor.
The third ingredient is Salmon. Salmon is meat from any fish in the salmon family, and in pet food, salmon might also refer to other parts of the fish including skin and organs. Salmon is an excellent source of protein, and it is a good source of Omega-3 fatty acids.
The fourth ingredient is Natural Flavor. In pet food, natural flavor can come from animal products, plant sources, or even minerals. Natural flavor is added to pet food to increase palatability, helping your companion enjoy their meals more.
The fifth ingredient is Calcium Sulfate. Calcium sulfate is an inorganic calcium salt with the formula CaSO4, that is also known as calcium sulphate. The calcium sulfate in pet food is an additive that is used to stabilize or firm other ingredients, and as a drying agent to prevent excess moisture buildup that could lead to spoilage.
