Ingredient Review
Our review of Stella & Chewy's Chick Chick Chicken Dinner Morsels Freeze-Dried Raw Cat Food begins with a detailed look at the food’s ingredients.
The first 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.
The second ingredient is Chicken Liver. Chicken liver is one of a few organ meats that come from a chicken. In pet food, chicken liver serves as a source of protein, iron, and amino acids.
The third ingredient is Chicken Gizzard. Chicken gizzard is an internal organ from a chicken. While this might not sound appealing to most of us, it is rich in a number of essential nutrients including iron and zinc. Added to pet food, chicken gizzard is also a source of protein and amino acids.
The fourth ingredient is Pumpkin Seed. Pumpkin seeds are flat, oval, protein-rich seeds from inside of any variety of pumpkin. It’s not common to find pumpkin seed in pet food but when they are part of a recipe, they can increase protein content, add healthy fat, and provide plenty of important vitamins and minerals.
The fifth ingredient is Potassium Chloride. Potassium chloride is a form of potassium, which helps your pet’s entire body function properly. In pet food, potassium chloride supports healthy blood pressure, neural function, metabolism, muscle function, organ function, bone health, and more.
When we analyzed the ingredients in Stella & Chewy's Chick Chick Chicken Dinner Morsels Freeze-Dried Raw Cat Food, we found that most of the protein is derived from meat based sources.
