Ingredients Analysis
The first ingredient is chicken thigh. 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 liver, an organ meat sourced from a named animal and thus considered a beneficial component.
The third ingredient is chicken gizzard which is one of several edible by-products of poultry slaughter such as internal organs.
Although the thought of eating an animal’s internal organs may not be appealing to most humans, these unfamiliar ingredients can be considered a natural part of an authentic feline diet.
The fourth ingredient is spinach. Due to its exceptional vitamin and mineral content, spinach exhibits a remarkably high nutrient Completeness Score [1. Completeness Score is a measure of a food’s relative nutrient content and is computed by NutritionData.com from the USDA’s National Nutrient Database for Standard Reference] of 91. For cats who are predisposed to oxalate stones, spinach should be avoided, due to its high oxalate content.
The fifth ingredient is green beans, a healthy vegetable notable for its vitamin, mineral and natural fiber content.
The sixth ingredient is pumpkin. Pumpkin is a nutritious addition high in complex carbohydrates, beta-carotene and dietary fiber.
The seventh ingredient is eggshell, used here as a natural source of dietary calcium.
Recipe star rating 5
