Ingredient Review
Our review of Iams ProActive Health Adult Indoor Weight & Hairball Care with Salmon Dry 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 Chicken By-Product Meal. In pet food, chicken by-product meal is often listed as a source of protein. Chicken by-product meal is produced by baking and grinding chicken parts that might not be used for human consumption including necks, feet, entrails, and undeveloped eggs.
The third ingredient is Corn Grits. Corn grits are made with kernels from any corn variety, ground into a roughly textured meal with particles larger than those found in cornmeal. In pet food, corn grits can be a filler as well as source of inexpensive protein, carbohydrates, and fiber.
The fourth ingredient is Ground Whole Grain Corn. Ground whole grain corn is made with cooked and/or dried kernels from any corn species. In pet food, ground whole grain corn can be a filler as well as source of inexpensive protein, carbohydrates, and fiber.
The fifth ingredient is Chicken Meal. In pet food, chicken meal is often listed as a source of protein. Chicken meal is produced by baking and grinding chicken meat and skin. As a dry form of animal protein, it is most often found in kibble and treats.
When we analyzed the ingredients in Iams ProActive Health Adult Indoor Weight & Hairball Care with Salmon Dry Cat Food, we found that most of the protein is derived from meat based sources.
