Order Pouched Food for Cats in Grand Forks

How do you know your cat is receiving the nutrition they require? You're bombarded with cat food commercials, each saying that their product is better than the others. Treat Play Love in Grand Forks, ND can help reduce the confusion. We carry a wide variety of cat foods and can help you in selecting the one that is ideal for your precious pet.

Your cat is a hunter, descended from a long line of hunters. Wild felines naturally ate a wide variety of nutritious food, based upon what they could capture. But your domestic cat counts on you to feed them. Treat Play Love 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 require meat in some form. This may be chicken, beef, lamb, fish, or eggs. They need fats to provide energy and help absorb vitamins like A, D, B1, B2, B3, and B6. Additionally, some cat foods incorporate carbohydrates, which are digestible and provide energy.

Reading a Cat Food Label

Cat food companies are required to put particular 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 described as "chicken dinner" (or chicken formula) can be anywhere between 25 and 95 percent chicken.

Labels include feeding instructions, but they're a guideline and not a "one size fits all." Your vet's guidance takes priority.

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