Cat Nutrition and Information
With Flint River Ranch Super
Premium Health Food for Cats and Kittens, you will be able to
see an immediate difference in your cat's healthy skin, coat and
energy level. Healthy nutrition can also mean fewer medical bills.
We firmly believe that your cat deserves the best food and a
healthy, long life! Here are just a few reasons why it pays to feed
your cats and kittens Flint River Ranch.
PROTEIN: The most important
ingredient in a cat's diet is Protein. Flint River Ranch GUARANTEES
a Protein analysis of not less than 32%! The amino acids provided by
Flint River Ranch Chicken and Lamb meal are the basic building
blocks of muscle, skin, coat, bone, blood and the immune system.
ESSENTIAL TAURINE: The high quality Chicken Meal provides
TAURINE, an essential Amino Acid for cats, at much higher levels
than the poultry by-products used in most cat foods. Taurine is
extremely important for healthy eyes, heart, nervous and
reproductive systems.
Excerpts from FEEDING YOUR CAT: KNOW THE BASICS OF FELINE
NUTRITION
Lisa A. Pierson, DVM
Cats Need Animal-Based Protein
Cats are obligate (strict) carnivores and are very different from
dogs in their nutritional needs. What does it mean to be an
‘obligate carnivore'? It means that your cat was built by Mother
Nature to get her nutritional needs met by the consumption of a
large amount of animal-based proteins (meat) and derives much less
nutritional support from plant-based proteins (grains).
Do not be confused by the listing of the protein percentages in dry
food compared to canned food. At first glance, it might appear that
the dry food has a higher amount of protein than the canned food—but
this is not true on a dry matter basis which is the accurate way to
compare the two foods. Most canned foods, when figured on a dry
matter basis, have more protein than dry food. And remember, even if
this were not the case, the percentage numbers do not tell the whole
story. It is the protein's bioavailability that is critical.
In their natural setting, cats—whose unique biology makes them true
carnivores--would not consume the high level of carbohydrates
(grains) that are in the dry foods that we routinely feed them. In the wild, your cat would be
eating a high protein, high-moisture content, meat-based diet, with
a moderate level of fat and with only ~6-9% of her diet consisting
of carbohydrates. The average dry food contains 35-50%
carbohydrates. Some of the cheaper dry foods contain even higher
levels. This is NOT the diet that Mother Nature intended for your
cat to eat! A high quality canned food, on the other hand, contains
~3-6% carbohydrates.
Another extremely important nutrient with respect to overall health
is water. It is very important for a cat to ingest water with its
food, as the cat does not have a very strong thirst drive. This is a
critical point. This lack of a strong thirst drive leads to
low-level, chronic dehydration when dry food makes up the bulk of
their diet. Cats are designed to obtain most of their water with
their diet since their normal prey contains ~70% water. Dry foods
only contain ~10% water whereas canned foods contain ~78% water.
Canned foods therefore more closely approximate the natural diet of
the cat and are better suited to meet the cat's water needs.
