Shop Freeze-Dried Food for Cats in Normandy Park

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. The Soggy Doggy in Normandy Park, WA can help reduce the confusion. We offer a wide range of cat foods and can assist you in finding the one that is ideal 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. The Soggy Doggy 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 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. In addition, some cat foods consist of 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.

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 described 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 recommendations takes priority.

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