Ingredient Review

Our review of Redbarn Naturals Beef Stew Grain-Free Canned Cat Food begins with a detailed look at the food’s ingredients.

The first ingredient is Beef. Beef is meat from any cattle breed. In pet food, beef can be fresh, freeze-dried, dehydrated, ground, or finely processed into beef meal.

The second ingredient is Beef Broth. Beef broth is the liquid that remains after beef has been cooked. The beef broth in pet food isn’t a major source of nutrients however it does add flavor and aroma to appeal to your companion.

The third ingredient is Vegetable Broth. Vegetable broth is made by boiling vegetables to obtain nutrients including vitamins, and minerals. In pet food, vegetable broth increases moisture and improves flavor.

The fourth ingredient is Beef Pizzle. Beef pizzle is a general term for a bull’s penis. While it isn’t often seen as a primary ingredient in pet food, beef pizzle is often made into dental chews that are also referred to as bully sticks.

The fifth ingredient is Beef Liver. Beef liver is organ meat from any cattle breed. The beef liver in pet food is a source of protein, iron, and many other essential nutrients.
