Ingredient Review
Our review of Purina Pro Plan Veterinary Diets OM Overweight Management Dry Cat Food begins with a detailed look at the food’s ingredients.
The first 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 second ingredient is Wheat Gluten. Wheat gluten is a good source of digestible protein. In pet food, wheat gluten is used as a binding agent and texturizer as well as a protein source.
The third ingredient is Soybean Meal. Soybean meal is the pulverized, ground remnants of soybeans after soy oil has been extracted. In pet food, soybean meal serves as an inexpensive source of plant-based protein, along with some carbohydrates.
The fourth 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 fifth ingredient is Oat Hulls. Oat hulls are the oater hulls from oats. The oat hulls in pet food are a source of fiber.
When we analyzed the ingredients in Purina Pro Plan Veterinary Diets OM Overweight Management Dry Cat Food, we found that most of the protein is derived from plant based sources.
