MORE ABOUT INGREDIENTS

PROTEINS - We believe the primary source of protein in cat food should come from animal protein, not vegetable protein or grains. Look for an identifiable animal protein such as “chicken meal” rather a generic term; such as, “poultry meal,” which can contain any fowl (turkey, chicken, geese, etc.).

CHICKEN MEAL VS. CHICKEN? Some manufacturers use chicken in their pet foods; however, TrilogyOnline prefers to use Chicken Meal. Why? Because chicken meat contains a certain amount of moisture in the flesh; however, chicken meal is a concentrated source of chicken protein because most of the water has been removed. Therefore, it only stands to reason that you get a greater “protein content” in 1 pound of chicken meal versus 1 pound of chicken.

BY-PRODUCTS - Depending on the source, some by-products can be difficult to digest. Low digestibility means less nutrition and more clean up. Some manufacturers consider by-products inferior sources of protein.

GRAINS - Some manufacturers use grains; such as, soy, corn, corn gluten and wheat gluten as protein sources.  Additionally, these grains can be difficult to digest.  Low digestibility means less nutrition and more clean up.  Foods that list 2 or more grains in the first 5 ingredients may have more vegetable protein than animal protein.

VEGETABLES - Provide essential vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and fiber as well as other important nutrients vital for health and maintenance.

FATS - We believe the primary fat in cat foods should come from animal sources.  A cat’s diet must contain animal fat.  Animal fat contains an essential fatty acid called arachidonic acid and cats cannot get this important nutrient from any other source.

FIBERS - We believe a good fiber; such as, “beet pulp” paces the rate of digestion, which helps maintain a healthy digestive tract and promotes normal stools.

PROTEINATED MINERALS - Offer better absorption.

GRAPESEED EXTRACT - A natural source of concentrated antioxidant nutrients.

BACTERIAL CULTURES - Support a healthy immune and digestive system.

RECLOSABLE BAG* - Convenient reclosable bag helps protect against moisture and pests.

FIRST 5 INGREDIENTS - Ingredients in pet food products are listed on the product label in descending order of weight.  This can be deceptive because some manufacturers practice “ingredient splitting” in order to give some ingredients more prominence than others.  For example, chicken meal can appear as the first ingredient in a food even when there are actually more grains in the product, which can total a higher percentage of protein than the chicken meal.  We believe the primary source of protein in all pet foods (except for weight loss formulas) should come from meat or animal, not vegetable protein or grains.  Foods that list 2 or more grains in the first 5 ingredients may have more vegetable protein than animal protein.
