(2.0/5) Chicken: Contains water in muscles, adding weight to protein levels. 2 stars
(5.0/5) Chicken Meal: Excellent source of high concentrated proteins for cats. 5 stars
(3.0/5) Cracked Pearled Barley: Nutritive, excellent grain, but it contains gluten. 3 stars

What are the Pros and Cons of Chicken Soup For The Soul cat food?

PROS

  • The formula is made with wholesome ingredients
  • High in proteins (34% min. crude protein guaranteed)
  • With vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and botanical
  • Healthy fatty acids, Omega-3 and Omega-6
  • Taurine for the cat’s eyes and heart health
  • L-carnitine to maintain a healthy weight
  • No artificial preservatives
  • Tasty for cats
  • Reasonable price
  • Made in the USA

CONS

  • It informs some of the 11 essential amino acids cats need in food’s nutritional analysis.
  • Chicken as the first ingredient may add some water when weighed.
  • Turkey meal may include all parts of the turkey
  • Barley contains gluten

CONCLUSION

Chicken Soup For The Soul it is a very good cat dry diet formula that includes crude meats and nutritive sources of fiber. Chicken as the first ingredient and chicken meal as secondary ingredient give crude and concentrate protein from chicken. Cracked pearled barley it is a very nutritive, excellent quality grain. Chicken fat (preserved with mixed tocopherols) it is a good source of energy and flavor, it is preserved with Vitamin E. Turkey meal adds more concentrate protein.

The main part of a cat food formula is the first 5 ingredients. However, I consider the first 3 ingredients to rate a cat food to have a better idea of the quality of proteins. Considering the first 3 ingredients, the average rate of this cat food is 3.3 stars, which is good. Keep in mind that this formula contains gluten.

Very Important: Dry cat foods are not sufficient for a healthy cat diet and they must be mixed with canned wet food and giving your cat plenty of water at all times. The cat’s water intake must come from food and water.

After analyzing these 5 main ingredients it can be concluded that Chicken Soup For The Soul Dry formula is a good quality cat food for a maintenance diet of a very active cat. However, the guaranteed analysis only informs some of the 11 amino acids cats need. Also, if you are looking for a gluten-free diet for your pet, I suggest to research for a different formula.
