Ingredients Analysis
The first ingredient is beef. Beef is defined as “the clean flesh derived from slaughtered cattle” and includes skeletal muscle or the muscle tissues of the tongue, diaphragm, heart or esophagus. 1
Beef is naturally rich in all 11 essential amino acids required by a cat to sustain life.
The second ingredient is water which adds nothing but moisture to this food. Water is a routine finding in most wet cat foods.
The third ingredient is beef tripe. Tripe usually consists of the first three chambers of a cud-chewing animal’s stomach. As unappetizing as it may seem to us humans, tripe is a protein-rich organ meat for cats. The meat itself can sometimes include the stomach’s contents, too.
The fourth ingredient is beef heart. Although it doesn’t sound very appetizing, heart tissue is pure muscle — all meat. It’s naturally rich in quality protein, minerals and complex B vitamins, too.
The fifth, sixth and seventh ingredients are beef kidney, beef liver and beef spleen. These are all organ meats which are low in fat and rich in protein and essential minerals.
From here the list goes on to include a number of other items. But to be realistic, ingredients located this far down the list (other than nutritional supplements) are not likely to affect the overall rating of the product.
This food also contains chelated minerals that have been chemically attached to protein. This makes them easier to absorb. Chelated minerals are usually found in better cat foods.
Nutrient Analysis
Based on its ingredients alone, Feline Natural Beef Feast recipe looks like an above-average wet product.
The dashboard displays a dry matter protein reading of 41.7%, a fat level of 41.7% and an estimated carbohydrate level of 8.7%.
As a group, the brand features an above-average protein content of 48.3% and an above-average fat level of 35.2%. Together these figures suggest a carbohydrate content of 8.5% for the overall product line, alongside a fat to protein ratio of 75%.
This means that the Feline Natural canned range contains higher than average protein, lower than average carbohydrate and higher than average fat, when compared to typical wet cat food.
Final Word
This range of food offers high levels of protein and lists animal meat as the first ingredient. Moisture and fat content is good and with added vitamins, this food offers a good diet option.
