How do you know your cat is getting the nutrition they really need? You're bombarded with cat food commercials, each claiming that their product is more effective than the others. Ma & Paws Pet Supplies in Hendersonville, TN can help reduce the confusion. We carry a number 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 cats naturally ate a wide variety of nutritious food, based on what they could snag. But your domestic cat is dependent on you to feed them. Ma & Paws Pet Supplies 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. In addition, some cat foods incorporate carbohydrates, which are digestible and offer 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.

Understand 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 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.

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