Ingredient Review
Our review of Purina Pro Plan Veterinary Diets DM Dietetic Management Dry Cat Food begins with a detailed look at the food’s ingredients.
The first ingredient is Poultry By-Product Meal. Sometimes abbreviated as PBM, poultry by-product meal is cooked, finely ground protein made with clean, rendered parts of chicken, turkey, and other poultry carcasses. The poultry by-product meal in pet food can contain bones, internal organs, and undeveloped eggs; it is considered to be of low quality and is less digestible than chicken meat.
The second ingredient is Soy Protein Isolate. Sometimes referred to as SPI, soy protein isolate is protein that has been extracted from soybeans. In pet food, soy protein isolate can be an inexpensive source of protein, however unless it is organic, it’s likely the product of genetic engineering.
The third 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 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 Animal Fat. Animal fat is a general term for fat from unspecified animals that have been rendered. In pet food, animal fat can be added to other ingredients to increase overall fat content and support the absorption of fat-soluble nutrients.
When we analyzed the ingredients in Purina Pro Plan Veterinary Diets DM Dietetic Management Dry Cat Food, we found that most of the protein is derived from plant based sources.
