White fish

Why this ingredient is used

White fish (cod, haddock, pollock, whiting) is a lean protein used for sensitive stomachs and weight management formulas. At under 1 percent fat in raw form, white fish delivers protein without the calorie density of salmon or chicken. It is also a good option for cats prone to pancreatitis who need ultra-low-fat diets. The main drawback is the vague label: 'white fish' does not commit to a species, which means the actual fish changes based on market price. Premium brands that specify 'Alaskan pollock' or 'North Atlantic cod' score higher on our transparency sub-score.
