Hey guys
So I've been researching a lot about the best qualities of cat food as well as grain-free brands cause one my cats has a really sensitive digestive system. Since I live in Malaysia, a lot of the good brands aren't available in stores here and I'd have to order them online. I wanted to research some more though before I went ahead and ordered anything, and I've come across an available brand called By Nature. Apparently it's grain-free, but I haven't tried it yet and I wanted to see if anybody here has heard of it or tried it before.
On the website it says grain-free for all the ingredients of the food, for example 95% Chicken & Chicken Liver. here are the ingredients
Ingredients: Chicken, Chicken Liver, Chicken Broth, Calcium Carbonate, Sun-Cured Alfalfa Meal, Flax Seed, Salt, Tricalcium Phosphate, Potassium Chloride, Carrageenan, Guar Gum, Choline Chloride, Taurine, Iron Proteinate, Zinc Proteinate, Magnesium Proteinate, Manganese Proteinate, Copper Proteinate, Sodium Selenite, Calcium Iodate, Thiamine Mononitrate (Vitamin B1), Niacin Supplement (Vitamin B3), Vitamin E Supplement, d-Calcium Pantothenate (Vitamin B5), Pyridoxine Hydrochloride (Vitamin B6), Riboflavin Supplement (Vitamin B2), Biotin (Vitamin B7), Vitamin B12 Supplement, Vitamin D2 Supplement, Folic Acid (Vitamin B9).
Calorie Content:1309 kcal/kg (204 kcal/can) (calculated)
here is the website for the company http://www.bynaturepetfoods.com/
Is that considered a good composition? Now I'm not sure about this, but isn't flax seed considered a grain or something? And for other canned foods that aren't under the 95% category, they include things like pea flower, or carrots, or potato starch. Isn't that not good as well?
Any information is appreciated!
