Ingredients Analysis
18 of 22 matched
-
1 Chicken Breast
Animal ProteinDescription
The dominant animal protein source in pet foods. Other than protein, it is also high in iron, zinc, selenium, and B vitamins.
Why Prefer?
A high-quality animal protein with high digestibility and biological value.
-
2 Duck Breast
Animal ProteinDescription
Breast meat from duck, a lean protein source with rich flavor.
Why Prefer?
A premium lean muscle meat cut.
-
3 Vegetable Glycerine
Food AdditiveDescription
The natural form of glycerin, usually made from soybean, coconut, or palm oil, a food additive for sweetening and binding free water, which improves the taste and prevents mold growth of pet foods. It is formed during the production of soap.
Why Concerned?
A food additive that is likely to be safe but unnecessary.
- 4 Peanut Protein
No match found in database
-
5 Pea Protein
Plant Protein ConcentrateDescription
Extracted protein from pea in a dry process. It contains 45 - 55% protein, which will significantly boost up the overall protein content of pet foods.
Why Notice?
High level of plant-based protein is not easy to digest and offers less biological value. Good quality pet foods should obtain sufficient protein from animal sources.
Digestion Concern
The process will concentrate the level of oligosaccharides, which is a 3 - 5 carbon short-chain sugar that is indigestible by dogs / cats. It offers much less biological value (less absorbed by the body) to pets compared to animal protein.

6 Tapioca Starch
CarbsDescription

Animal ProteinDescription

- Possible allergy triggers: Corn Starch have allergen notes; review them if your pet has sensitivities.
- Possible digestion triggers: Pea Protein, Pea Protein, Pea Protein, and 1 more have digestion notes; watch tolerance if your pet has a sensitive stomach.
