Ooo what brand may that be.
And thanks for sharing the vet.
For more detail of ingredient used for pet food, you can google. I just roughly explain here.
I dont listen to pet shop/ sales ppl marketing, they will say this food is premium, this is super premium.
Example, screen shot below is from happy cat website.
Happy cat atlantic salmon.
Ingredient list for a product, is listed according to the amount (weight) used.
Look out for the first 5 ingredient.
1. Poultry protein.
This is the new term they use to make it sound better/nicer to consumer. Protein can be obtained from many parts of living things, including hair/ feathers.
Yes wild predator animals eat this, eg cat swallow whole bird / rat, but these are cheap/ by products of food production.
Happy cat atlantict salmon is Not cheap as supermarket brand.
So actual fact this could be just rendered by products.
2. Poultry fat
Again they get it from multi source, which is cheaper.
3. Salmon meal.
Ok. Single source,
4. Rice flour
5. Maize flour
6. Corn.
Maize = corn, both is the same thing. Means corn and more corn.
7. Meat meal.
Unknown source. Meat can be pork, horse, etc etc.
The supplier dont have to tell them what it is.
A very cheap ingredient.
8.Potato flakes
9. Cellulose - fibre
10. Haemoglobin
= blood
11. Beet pulp - fibre

Atlantic Salmon = name of product.
Could be the rice + corn + corn is more than salmon already.
Made in germany? I did not check the packaging to see if they put the address of the company or factory.
Could not find any german address on the website - means it is questionable.
Why hide??
Alot of EU pet food sold here, you will only find ' made in EU ' on the packaging, they dont have to state the country or the address of the factory.
Royal canin is one example.
