Ingredients Analysis
The first ingredient is fish broth. Broths are nutritionally empty. But because they add both flavor and moisture to a cat food they are a common addition component in many canned products.
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 tuna. Tuna is an oily marine fish not only high in protein but also omega 3 fatty acids, essential oils needed by every cat to sustain life.
This item is typically sourced from clean, undecomposed whole fish and fish cuttings of commercial fish operations. 1
The fourth ingredient is salmon. Salmon is an oily marine and freshwater fish not only high in protein but also omega 3 fatty acids, essential oils needed by every cat to sustain life.
The fifth ingredient is green beans, legumes naturally high in dietary fiber and other healthy nutrients.
However, beans contain about 25% protein, a factor that must be considered when judging the meat content of this cat food.
The sixth and seventh ingredients are tilapia and basa. These items are typically sourced from clean, undecomposed whole fish and fish cuttings of commercial fish operations. 2
Although these are quality items, raw fish contains up to 73% water. After cooking, most of that moisture is lost, reducing the meat content to just a fraction of its original weight.
After processing, these items would probably account for a smaller part of the total content of the finished product.
The eighth ingredient is natural flavors. Natural flavors doesn’t give us much information about the particular ingredients included in this cat food for flavoring purposes.
We’re pleased that the flavorings used are natural, but more details are required to give any further information about these natural flavoring ingredients. Flavorings are used to make the foods more appealing and tasty for our cats.
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 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, Catit Fish Dinner Salmon & Green Beans recipe looks like an above-average wet product.
The dashboard displays a dry matter protein reading of 85%, a fat level of 5% and an estimated carbohydrate level of 2%.
As a group, the brand features an above-average protein content of 64.2% and a near-average fat level of 11.8%. Together these figures suggest a carbohydrate content of 16% for the overall product line, alongside a fat to protein ratio of 24%.
This means this Catit range contains higher than average protein, lower than average carbohydrate and near-average fat, when compared to typical wet cat food.
Final Word
This range of food has good quality meat included and offers high protein content. There are plant-based proteins included, so this needs to be considered when evaluating protein levels.
