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.
The fourth ingredient is carrots. Carrots are rich in beta-carotene, minerals and dietary fiber.
The fifth ingredient is green beans, a healthy vegetable notable for its vitamin, mineral and natural fiber content.
Nutrient Analysis
Based on its ingredients alone, Applaws Broth Pots look like an above-average wet food product.
The dashboard displays a dry matter protein reading of 83.3%, a fat level of 0.8% and an estimated carbohydrate level of 7.8%.
As a group, the brand features an above average protein content of 83.2% and a below average fat level of 2.3%. Together these figures suggest a carbohydrate content of 10.6%, alongside a fat to protein ratio of 3%.
This means that Applaws Broth Pots contains higher than average protein and lower than average fat when compared to typical wet cat food.
Final Word
Applaws Broth Pots offer cats an excellent source of high quality protein and essential fatty acids, made with natural, wholesome ingredients, free from grains, carrageenan, artificial colors, flavors or preservatives.
