Ingredient Review
Our review of Friskies Classic Pate Turkey & Giblets Dinner Canned Cat Food begins with a detailed look at the food’s ingredients.
The first ingredient is Meat By-Products. The meat by-products in pet food may be organs such as liver, kidneys, lungs, heart, and more, as well as meat left over from butchering. While meat by-products include offal that isn’t meant for human consumption, it may not contain hooves, horns, teeth, or animal hides.
The second ingredient is Water Sufficient. In pet food, the term water sufficient typically refers to the amount of water that is needed to process the rest of the ingredients.
The third ingredient is Turkey. Turkey is an easily digested meat that’s relatively low in fat. In pet food, turkey might be the primary protein source or it may be part of a blend made with different proteins.
The fourth ingredient is Poultry By-Products. The poultry by-products in pet food are defined as dry, ground, parts of poultry carcasses that have been rendered clean. Most pet food companies use poultry by-products such as liver, kidney, heart, and gizzard, which are sources of protein and other nutrients. Some do include chicken, turkey, and duck by-products like feathers, bones, and beaks, all ground up and unidentifiable.
The fifth ingredient is Fish. Fish is a general term for meat from freshwater and saltwater fish. In pet food, fish serves as a source of protein. It can double as a source of other nutrients including omega essential fatty acids.
When we analyzed the ingredients in Friskies Classic Pate Turkey & Giblets Dinner Canned Cat Food, we found that most of the protein is derived from meat based sources.
