FreeStyle Perfect Purées Treats Tuna & Crab Recipe for Cats ingredients, explained

The recipe is built on crab, listed fourth on the label. Common dog food allergens on the label: tuna.

What this food is made of

Tuna

A fish used mostly in cat foods, where its strong flavor is the point. Tuna is a good protein and a source of omega-3 fats. Two cautions apply to tuna fed often: it is higher in mercury than smaller fish, and cats can become fixated on it and refuse other foods. Both cautions apply to the cat eating tuna every day, and much less to tuna as one ingredient in a complete food fed in rotation.

Chickpeas

A legume used as a carbohydrate and plant protein, common in grain-free foods. Chickpeas supply fiber, folate and protein that lifts the number on the bag without adding meat. Legume-heavy grain-free foods were part of the FDA's 2018 to 2022 look at diet-associated heart disease in dogs, which did not establish a cause. A food that lists chickpeas or peas in the first few ingredients is leaning on plant protein.

Vitamins, minerals and additives (2)

The nutrient pack nearly every complete food carries. Expand to read what each one does.

Guar gum

A thickener from the guar bean, used to give wet food its texture and hold gravy together. It is a soluble fiber, and in large amounts it can soften stool. Not an allergen of note. Its presence tells you about texture, not nutrition.

Chicory root

A root added for its inulin, a fiber that gut bacteria ferment. A prebiotic feeds the beneficial bacteria in the gut, and the pet gets the benefit second-hand. Studies in dogs show modest changes in gut bacteria and stool quality at the levels used in food. It is safe, and in large amounts can loosen stools, so it appears near the bottom of the list.
