Ingredient Review

Our review of I and Love and You Chicky-Da-Lish 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 Vegetable Broth. Vegetable broth is made by boiling vegetables to obtain nutrients including vitamins, and minerals. In pet food, vegetable broth increases moisture and improves flavor.

The fourth ingredient is Chicken Liver. Chicken liver is one of a few organ meats that come from a chicken. In pet food, chicken liver serves as a source of protein, iron, and amino acids.

The fifth ingredient is Dried Egg Whites. Dried egg whites are the dehydrated “white” or clear portion of an egg. In pet food, dried egg whites are used as a source of high-quality lean protein.
