Ingredient Review
Our review of Nulo Freestyle Senior Alaska Pollock begins with a detailed look at the food’s ingredients.
The first ingredient is Pollock. Pollock is a general name for two species of white-fleshed marine fish of the Pollachius genus. In pet food, pollock can be a good source of protein, amino acids, omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, and many essential vitamins and minerals.
The second 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.
The third ingredient is Turkey Meal. The turkey meal in pet food is typically a byproduct of turkey meat production. Turkey meal is high in protein, and is easy for pets to digest. It is a good source of B vitamins and amino acids to support your pet’s overall well-being.
The fourth ingredient is Yellow Peas. Yellow peas are a grain-free, gluten-free source of protein, fiber, and carbohydrates. In pet food, yellow peas serve as an energy source as well as a supplementary source of vitamins and minerals.
The fifth ingredient is Green Lentils. Green lentils are legumes. In pet food, green lentils are a source of protein, fiber, and nutrients including a number of essential vitamins and minerals.
When we analyzed the ingredients in Nulo Freestyle Senior Alaska Pollock, we found that most of the protein is derived from meat based sources.

Nutritional Analysis
As opposed to formulas intended for growth (kitten) and maintenance (adult), there are no special label requirements or legal definitions for “senior” diets. Senior diets are actually only required to meet the same nutritional needs as for adult diets. This means that there can be a lot of variation and interpretation by different food companies on what makes up a senior diet. Senior diets can have varying amounts of protein, fat, carbs, phosphorus, sodium, and fiber.
The assumptions that all senior pets need low protein, low fat and carbs, low phosphorus and sodium, and high fiber across the board are incorrect. The need for higher or lower levels of these nutrients varies greatly from cat to cat. That’s why it’s very important for senior pets for their pet parents to work with their veterinarian to decide what type of diet is most appropriate. For many young senior pets, the adult diets they’ve been on may be just fine to continue.
