Get Dehydrated Foods for Cats in Merrimack

How do you know your cat is receiving the nutrition they really need? You're bombarded with cat food commercials, each saying that their product is better than the others. Pets Choice in Merrimack, NH can help reduce the confusion. We stock a wide array of cat foods and can assist you in finding the one that is just right 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 on what they could capture. But your domestic cat counts on you to feed them. Pets Choice 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 supply energy and help absorb vitamins like A, D, B1, B2, B3, and B6. Additionally, some cat foods consist of carbohydrates, which are digestible and offer 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 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 advice takes precedence.

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