Order Raw Food for Cats in Washington

How do you know your cat is getting the nutrition they require? You're bombarded with cat food commercials, each claiming that their product is better than the others. CB Pet Market in Washington, NJ can help reduce the confusion. We carry a wide variety 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 variety of nutritious food, based upon what they could capture. But your domestic cat relies on you to feed them. CB Pet Market 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 can 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 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 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 contain feeding instructions, but they're a guideline and not a "one size fits all." Your vet's recommendations takes precedence.

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