Ingredient Review
Our review of Royal Canin Veterinary Diet Feline Selected Protein Adult PD Dry Cat Food begins with a detailed look at the food’s ingredients.
The first ingredient is Peas. Pea is a general term to describe whole, split, or milled peas, which are a grain-free, gluten-free source of protein, fiber, and carbohydrates. In pet food, pea products serve as an energy source as well as a supplementary source of vitamins and minerals.
The second ingredient is Duck By-Product Meal. Duck by-product meal is cooked, finely ground protein made with clean, rendered parts of duck carcasses. The duck by-product meal in pet food can contain bones, internal organs, and undeveloped eggs. It offers a wide range of nutrients.
The third ingredient is Pea Protein. Pea protein is a good source of amino acids, vitamins, and minerals. While the pea protein in pet food isn’t normally a primary protein source, it is easy to digest and it’s also a good source of fiber.
The fourth ingredient is Coconut Oil. Coconut oil is oil extracted from mature coconut flesh. In pet food, coconut oil can be a source of healthy fat and essential fatty acids. It also has natural antioxidant properties.
The fifth ingredient is Natural Flavors. The natural flavors in pet food are added to improve taste, so your companion enjoys their meals more. Natural flavors can be sourced from animal products, plants, minerals, and even natural chemical compounds.
