Ingredient Review
Our review of Gentle Giants Salmon Grain-Free Wet Cat Food begins with a detailed look at the food’s ingredients.
The first 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 second 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 third ingredient is Liver. 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, but depending on its source, can be of low quality.
The fourth ingredient is Pea Protein. Pea protein is a good source of amino acids, vitamins, and minerals. While the pea protein in pet food isn’t normally a primary protein source, it is easy to digest and it’s also a good source of fiber.
The fifth ingredient is Chickpea. Chickpea is a type of edible legume. Also known as garbanzo bean, the chickpea in pet food serve as a source of protein and fiber, as well as some grain-free carbohydrates for energy.
