Ingredient Review
Our review of Zeal Canada Salmon & Turkey Recipe Grain-Free Gently Air-Dried 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 Turkey. Turkey is an easily digested meat that’s relatively low in fat. In pet food, turkey might be the primary protein source or it may be part of a blend made with different proteins.
The third ingredient is Turkey Heart. Turkey heart is meat from the muscles that form a turkey’s heart. In pet food, turkey heart can be a good source of protein, iron, and other important nutrients.
The fourth ingredient is Turkey Liver. Turkey liver is a general term that can refer to fresh, frozen, cooked, or freeze dried liver from a turkey of any breed. The turkey liver in pet food is more than just a source of protein – it’s also a good source of vitamin A, copper, niacin, zinc, and other essential nutrients.
The fifth ingredient is Bamboo Fiber. Bamboo fiber is an insoluble fiber sourced from bamboo shoots. This dietary fiber is odor-free, natural in taste, and has no fats or calories. It has a high fiber content making it a good source of dietary fiber for lowering blood cholesterol in your pet
