Ingredient Review
Our review of Nulo FreeStyle Turkey & Duck Recipe Freeze-Dried Raw Cat Food begins with a detailed look at the food’s ingredients.
The first ingredient is Turkey. Turkey is an easily digested meat that’s relatively low in fat. In pet food, turkey might be the primary protein source or it may be part of a blend made with different proteins.
The second ingredient is Turkey Necks. Turkey necks are necks from turkeys that have been slaughtered for consumption. Meat and bones are typically included. While you might not see turkey necks in pet food often, they are sold as dog chews and as raw meat for dogs. Turkey neck offers a wide range of nutrients including protein, calcium, and amino acids.
The third ingredient is Turkey Liver. Turkey liver is a general term that can refer to fresh, frozen, cooked, or freeze dried liver from a turkey of any breed. The turkey liver in pet food is more than just a source of protein – it’s also a good source of vitamin A, copper, niacin, zinc, and other essential nutrients.
The fourth ingredient is Duck. Duck is meat from any member of the Anatidae waterfowl. In pet food, duck can serve as a primary protein source as well as a source of animal fat, minerals, and amino acids. It is sometimes used as a novel protein, and is often an ingredient in diets formulated specifically for pets with allergies.
The fifth ingredient is Duck Liver. Duck liver is one of a few organ meats that come from a duck. In pet food, duck liver serves as a source of protein, iron, and amino acids. It can be a source of novel protein in recipes formulated for pets with allergies.
When we analyzed the ingredients in Nulo FreeStyle Turkey & Duck Recipe Freeze-Dried Raw Cat Food, we found that most of the protein is derived from meat based sources.
