Get Food Toppers for Cats in The Villages

How do you know your cat is receiving the nutrition they need? You're bombarded with cat food commercials, each claiming that their product is superior than the others. Woof Gang Bakery & Grooming, The Villages in The Villages, FL can help reduce the confusion. We offer a number of cat foods and can assist you in selecting the one that is right for your precious pet.

Your cat is a hunter, descended from a long line of hunters. Wild felines naturally ate a wide assortment of nutritious food, based upon what they could snag. But your domestic cat is dependent on you to feed them. Woof Gang Bakery & Grooming, The Villages 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 can 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. In addition, some cat foods include 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 distinction 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 referred to as "chicken dinner" (or chicken formula) can be anywhere between 25 and 95 percent chicken.

Labels have feeding directions, but they're a guideline and not a "one size fits all." Your vet's advice takes priority.

Search for the nutritional adequacy statement, which reveals whether the food is meant for an adult cat or a kitten.
