Shop Cat Food for Cats in Coconut Creek

How do you know your cat is receiving the nutrition they require? You're bombarded with cat food commercials, each declaring that their product is superior than the others. Puppylicious Pet Grooming Salon in Coconut Creek, FL can help reduce the confusion. We stock a wide range of cat foods and can help you in selecting 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 variety of nutritious food, based on what they could snag. But your domestic cat relies on you to feed them. Puppylicious Pet Grooming Salon 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 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 include carbohydrates, which are digestible and offer energy.

Reading a Cat Food Label

Cat food companies are required to put certain 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 big 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 contain feeding instructions, but they're a guideline and not a "one size fits all." Your vet's recommendations takes precedence.

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