Buy Frozen Food for Cats in Wayne

How do you know your cat is receiving the nutrition they need? You're bombarded with cat food commercials, each stating that their product is better than the others. Braxton's Animal Works in Wayne, PA can help reduce the confusion. We stock a wide range of cat foods and can assist you in choosing the one that is 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 on what they could catch. But your domestic cat counts on you to feed them. Braxton's Animal Works 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 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 incorporate carbohydrates, which are digestible and offer 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 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 described as "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 recommendations takes precedence.

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