Shop Cat Food for Cats in Austin

How do you know your cat is getting the nutrition they need? You're bombarded with cat food commercials, each declaring that their product is superior than the others. Woof Gang Bakery & Grooming Mueller in Austin, TX can help reduce the confusion. We stock a number of cat foods and can assist you in selecting the one that is just right for your precious pet.

Your cat is a hunter, descended from a long line of hunters. Wild felines naturally ate a wide assortment of nutritious food, based on what they could capture. But your domestic cat counts on you to feed them. Woof Gang Bakery & Grooming Mueller 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 supply energy and help absorb vitamins like A, D, B1, B2, B3, and B6. Additionally, some cat foods incorporate carbohydrates, which are digestible and offer energy.

Reading a Cat Food Label

Cat food companies are required to put certain 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 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 called "chicken dinner" (or chicken formula) can be anywhere between 25 and 95 percent chicken.

Labels contain feeding directions, but they're a guideline and not a "one size fits all." Your vet's guidance takes precedence.

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