Ingredient Review
Our review of Kitten Chow Nurture Muscle & Brain Development Dry Cat Food begins with a detailed look at the food’s ingredients.
The first 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 second ingredient is Corn Gluten Meal. Corn gluten meal is produced as a byproduct from the manufacture of corn syrup and other sweeteners made with corn. It contains no wheat gluten. The corn gluten meal in pet food is a source of inexpensive protein, but it has high levels of cysteine, which have been linked to the formation of urinary stones.
The third ingredient is Rice. Rice is a gluten-free cereal grain. In pet food, rice is a source of easily digestible carbohydrates.
The fourth ingredient is Soy Flour. Soy flour is made with ground soybeans and is a source of inexpensive plant-based protein. The soy flour in pet food is often used as a texturizer or bulking agent to increase protein content without adding more meat to the recipe.
The fifth ingredient is Beef Fat. Beef fat is cooked, rendered fat from any breed of cattle. In pet food, beef fat is an inexpensive energy source and flavoring that can also help your companion absorb fat-soluble vitamins.
When we analyzed the ingredients in Kitten Chow Nurture Muscle & Brain Development Dry Cat Food, we found that most of the protein is derived from meat based sources.
