Ingredient Review
Our review of Vetdiet Salmon Rice Formula Adult Indoor Dry Cat Food begins with a detailed look at the food’s ingredients.
The first ingredient is Salmon. Salmon is meat from any fish in the salmon family, and in pet food, salmon might also refer to other parts of the fish including skin and organs. Salmon is an excellent source of protein, and it is a good source of Omega-3 fatty acids.
The second ingredient is Menhaden Fish Meal. Menhaden fish meal is dried, ground tissue from menhaden fish. In pet food, menhaden fish meal serves as a source of protein, amino acids, and essential fatty acids to help keep your companion’s skin and coat healthy.
The third 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 fourth ingredient is Dehulled Barley. Dehulled barley is a cereal grain that has had its tough outer hull removed. This ingredient finds its way into many foods meant for human consumption. In pet food, dehulled barley serves as a source of carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals, as well as a source of fiber to support good digestion.
The fifth 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.
When we analyzed the ingredients in Vetdiet Salmon Rice Formula Adult Indoor Dry Cat Food, we found that most of the protein is derived from fish based sources.
