Ingredient Review
Our review of Nulo FreeStyle Chicken & Salmon Recipe Freeze-Dried Raw Cat Food 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 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 third ingredient is Chicken Necks. Chicken necks are a byproduct of the chicken processing industry, normally sourced from chickens that have been slaughtered for consumption. In pet food, chicken necks can be a source of protein, amino acids, vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients.
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 Chicken Hearts. Chicken hearts come from chickens that have been slaughtered for consumption. This type of organ meat doesn’t appeal to most people but when added to pet food, chicken hearts can be a good source of protein, iron, and other important nutrients.
