Ingredient Review

Our review of Weruva Green Eggs & Chicken with Chicken begins with a detailed look at the food’s ingredients.

The first ingredient is Chicken Boneless. Chicken boneless refers to boneless chicken, which is chicken meat with the bones removed. In pet food, boneless chicken is a valuable source of protein.

The second ingredient is Skinless. In pet food, the term skinless generally refers to poultry meat that has had the skin removed. Skinless meats are often found in lower-fat recipes. They provide protein and amino acids, along with many essential vitamins and minerals.

The third 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 fourth ingredient is Egg. In pet food, egg serves as a source of high quality protein, vitamins, and minerals. The simple term “egg” can refer to any part of the egg or any combination of egg parts including yolk, white, and shell.

The fifth ingredient is Potato Starch. Potato starch is a grain-free, gluten-free carbohydrate. The potato starch in pet foods also contributes to texture.

When we analyzed the ingredients in Weruva Green Eggs & Chicken with Chicken, we found that most of the protein is derived from meat based sources.
