Ingredient Review
Our review of Purina Pro Plan Vital Systems Sole Entree in Wet Cat Food Gravy begins with a detailed look at the food’s ingredients.
The first ingredient is Water. Water is added to pet food as a blending agent, or as a thinning agent. It is typically found in wet or moist foods rather than in dry kibble.
The second ingredient is Sole. Sole is meat from any type of sole flatfish. When added to pet food, sole can be an excellent source of protein, amino acids, vitamin B-12, vitamin D, phosphorus, and many other important nutrients to support your companion’s well-being.
The third 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 fourth 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 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 Vital Systems Sole Entree in Wet Cat Food Gravy, we found that most of the protein is derived from meat based sources.
