Shop Freeze-Dried Food for Cats in Sarasota

How do you know your cat is receiving the nutrition they require? You're bombarded with cat food commercials, each saying that their product is better than the others. Marlin's Raw Superfood for Pets in Sarasota, FL can help reduce the confusion. We carry a wide range of cat foods and can help you in finding the one that is perfect for your precious pet.

Your cat is a hunter, descended from a long line of hunters. Wild cats naturally ate a wide assortment of nutritious food, based upon what they could capture. But your domestic cat relies on you to feed them. Marlin's Raw Superfood for Pets 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 provide energy and help absorb vitamins like A, D, B1, B2, B3, and B6. Also, some cat foods include carbohydrates, which are digestible and provide 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 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 include feeding instructions, but they're a guideline and not a "one size fits all." Your vet's guidance takes precedence.

Try to find the nutritional adequacy statement, which reveals whether the food is meant for an adult cat or a kitten.
