Ingredient Review

Our review of Royal Canin Savor Selective Dry Cat Food begins with a detailed look at the food’s ingredients.

The first ingredient is Corn. Corn is a cereal grain that finds its way into countless products. In pet food, corn is usually added as a bulking agent. It is a gluten-free source of carbohydrates for energy and it may offer fiber, vitamins, and minerals as well.

The second ingredient is Brewers Rice. Brewers rice is a byproduct of the beer industry. The brewers rice in pet food has been dried and ground for use as a carbohydrate source, often in gluten-free recipes.

The third ingredient is Chicken Meal. In pet food, chicken meal is often listed as a source of protein. Chicken meal is produced by baking and grinding chicken meat and skin. As a dry form of animal protein, it is most often found in kibble and treats.

The fourth ingredient is Chicken Fat. Chicken fat is a good source of omega-6 fatty acids including linoleic acid. In pet food, chicken fat also adds flavor, improves consistency, and serves as a source of the animal fat pets need for overall wellbeing.

The fifth 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.

When we analyzed the ingredients in Royal Canin Savor Selective Dry Cat Food, we found that most of the protein is derived from plant based sources.
