Wellness Complete Health Salmon and Deboned Chicken Cat Food Review
As with all cat food recipes the first thing we are going to look at are the first five ingredients. The first five ingredients are a good indication of the quality of the cat food. When looking at the first five ingredients you want to make sure there is plenty of meat and grains are minimal.
Wellness Complete Health Salmon and Deboned Chicken Cat Food First Five Ingredients:
- Salmon
- Salmon Meal
- Whitefish Meal
- Rice
- Ground Barley
Salmon- Salmon is the clean tissue of un-decomposed whole salmon or salmon cuttings. It is an excellent source of high quality protein, calcium, phosphorous and long chain Omega 3 fatty acids, which are critical for healthy skin, coat and proper body function. Wellness uses naturally preserved meat sources.
Salmon Meal- Salmon is cooked down to release all of the fat and water. Creating a concentrated, highly digestible protein and fat source known as salmon meal. For out cat foods we source and select special low ash salmon meal as to control mineral levels that contribute to proper urinary health. It is an excellent source of high quality protein, calcium, phosphorous and long chain Omega 3 fatty acids, which are critical for healthy skin, coat and proper body function as well as the enhanced learning of kittens, puppies and babies. Wellness uses naturally preserved meat sources.
Rice - Unless listed as brown rice, rice is the de-hulled rice kernel, without the bran. Rice is the preferred grain for feline diets as it is low in minerals, specifically magnesium. Controlling the mineral content of a diet is especially important for cats prone to urinary tract disease. Wellness uses some whole rice and some ground rice in the dietary solutions recipes.
Ground Barley - Ground/Pearled Barley is produced from whole barley seeds that have been scoured to remove the seed hull and bran. An excellent choice for specialized obesity and diabetic pet diets due to its unique nutritional make-up, modest amounts of slowly digested starch and the soluble fiber B-glucan. It is more digestible than whole or cracked barley.
Whitefish Meal- Whitefish is cooked down to release all of the fat and water, creating a concentrated, highly digestible protein and fat source known as whitefish meal. For our cat foods, we source and select special low ash whitefish meal as to control mineral levels that contribute to proper urinary health. It is an excellent source of high quality protein, calcium, phosphorous and long chain Omega 6 fatty acids, which are critical for healthy skin, coat and body function. Wellness uses naturally preserved meat sources.
