Order Pouched Food for Cats in Everett

How do you know your cat is receiving the nutrition they require? You're bombarded with cat food commercials, each claiming that their product is superior than the others. Sam's Cats & Dogs Naturally in Everett, WA can help reduce the confusion. We offer a variety of cat foods and can assist 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 selection of nutritious food, based upon what they could catch. But your domestic cat counts on you to feed them. Sam's Cats & Dogs Naturally 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 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 consist of carbohydrates, which are digestible and provide 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 referred to as "chicken dinner" (or chicken formula) can be anywhere between 25 and 95 percent chicken.

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

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