Order Freeze-Dried Food for Cats in Parrish

How do you know your cat is getting the nutrition they require? You're bombarded with cat food commercials, each saying that their product is better than the others. DOGPerfect in Parrish, FL can help reduce the confusion. We carry a wide range of cat foods and can help you in finding the one that is perfect for your precious pet.

Your cat is a hunter, descended from a long line of hunters. Wild felines naturally ate a wide selection of nutritious food, based upon what they could catch. But your domestic cat is dependent on you to feed them. DOGPerfect has all the foods that will keep them happy and healthy.

What Nutrients Does Your Cat Need?

For starters, your cat is a carnivore. They need to have meat in some form. This can be chicken, beef, lamb, fish, or eggs. They need fats to supply energy and help absorb vitamins like A, D, B1, B2, B3, and B6. Additionally, some cat foods consist of carbohydrates, which are digestible and offer energy.

Reading a Cat Food Label

Cat food companies are required to put specific information on their labels, such as ingredients in descending order of weight, and guaranteed analysis, which tells you the minimum and maximum amount of nutrients like fats, protein, and fiber.

Learn about food descriptions. There's a difference between "chicken cat food" and "cat food with chicken." Chicken cat food must be 95 percent chicken, while cat food with chicken can have as little as 3 percent. Food called "chicken dinner" (or chicken formula) can be anywhere between 25 and 95 percent chicken.

Labels contain feeding instructions, but they're a guideline and not a "one size fits all." Your vet's advice takes precedence.

Try to find the nutritional adequacy statement, which explains whether the food is meant for an adult cat or a kitten.
