Ingredient Review
Our review of Wellness Sliced Chicken Entree Grain-Free Canned 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 Broth. Chicken broth is made by boiling chicken meat, skin, and bones to obtain nutrients including fat, vitamins, and minerals. In pet food, chicken broth increases moisture and improves flavor.
The third ingredient is Water Sufficient. In pet food, the term water sufficient typically refers to the amount of water that is needed to process the rest of the ingredients.
The fourth ingredient is Dried Ground Peas. Dried ground peas are dehydrated seeds from any edible pea plant species, which have been processed into small fragments to provide better digestibility. The dried ground peas in pet food are typically ground to provide a source of plant-based protein, fiber, and other important nutrients.
The fifth ingredient is Dried Egg Whites. Dried egg whites are the dehydrated “white” or clear portion of an egg. In pet food, dried egg whites are used as a source of high-quality lean protein.
When we analyzed the ingredients in Wellness Sliced Chicken Entree Grain-Free Canned Cat Food, we found that most of the protein is derived from meat based sources.
