Ingredient Review
Our review of Purina Pro Plan Veterinary Diets DM Dietetic Management Canned Cat Food begins with a detailed look at the food’s ingredients.
The first ingredient is Liver. Liver is a general name for a protein-rich organ meat from any animal. The liver in pet food can be a source of important minerals including zinc, copper, iron, and selenium, but depending on its source, can be of low quality.
The second ingredient is Poultry By-Products. The poultry by-products in pet food are defined as dry, ground, parts of poultry carcasses that have been rendered clean. Most pet food companies use poultry by-products such as liver, kidney, heart, and gizzard, which are sources of protein and other nutrients. Some do include chicken, turkey, and duck by-products like feathers, bones, and beaks, all ground up and unidentifiable.
The third ingredient is Meat By-Products. The meat by-products in pet food may be organs such as liver, kidneys, lungs, heart, and more, as well as meat left over from butchering. While meat by-products include offal that isn’t meant for human consumption, it may not contain hooves, horns, teeth, or animal hides.
The fourth ingredient is Water Sufficient. In pet food, the term water sufficient typically refers to the amount of water that is needed to process the rest of the ingredients.
The fifth 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.
When we analyzed the ingredients in Purina Pro Plan Veterinary Diets DM Dietetic Management Canned Cat Food, we found that most of the protein is derived from meat based sources.
