Ingredient Review
Our review of Dr. Elsey's cleanprotein Grain-Free Duck Recipe Wet Cat Food begins with a detailed look at the food’s ingredients.
The first ingredient is Duck. Duck is meat from any member of the Anatidae waterfowl. In pet food, duck can serve as a primary protein source as well as a source of animal fat, minerals, and amino acids. It is sometimes used as a novel protein, and is often an ingredient in diets formulated specifically for pets with allergies.
The second ingredient is Duck Broth. Duck broth is made by boiling duck meat, skin, and bones to obtain nutrients including fat, vitamins, and minerals. When added to pet food, duck broth increases moisture and improves flavor.
The third ingredient is Duck Liver. Duck liver is one of a few organ meats that come from a duck. In pet food, duck liver serves as a source of protein, iron, and amino acids. It can be a source of novel protein in recipes formulated for pets with allergies.
The fourth ingredient is Egg Product. Egg product is a broad term that can refer to egg yolks, egg whites, whole eggs, eggshells, or any combination of different parts of the egg. In pet food, egg product is typically used as a source of protein, although it also has thickening and binding properties.
The fifth 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.
When we analyzed the ingredients in Dr. Elsey's cleanprotein Grain-Free Duck Recipe Wet Cat Food, we found that most of the protein is derived from meat based sources.
