Ingredients Analysis
The first ingredient is chicken breast. Chicken is considered “the clean combination of flesh and skin derived from the parts or whole carcasses of chicken”. 1
Chicken is naturally rich in the 11 essential amino acids required by a cat to sustain life.
The second ingredient is chicken broth. Broths are of only modest nutritional value. Yet because they add both flavor and moisture to a cat food, they are a common component in many wet products.
The third ingredient is rice. Is this whole grain rice, brown rice or white rice? Since the word “rice” doesn’t tell us much, it’s impossible to judge the quality of this item.
Nutrient Analysis
Based on its ingredients alone, Applaws Chicken Breast in Broth looks like an above-average wet product.
The dashboard displays a dry matter protein reading of 100%, a fat level of 0.7% and an estimated carbohydrate level of 0%.
