Order Raw Food for Cats in Luzerne

How do you know your cat is getting the nutrition they really need? You're bombarded with cat food commercials, each stating that their product is more effective than the others. Village Pet Supplies & Gifts in Luzerne, PA can help reduce the confusion. We carry a wide range of cat foods and can help you in choosing 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 catch. But your domestic cat depends on you to feed them. Village Pet Supplies & Gifts 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 could 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. Also, some cat foods incorporate 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.

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 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 precedence.

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