PET FOOD PRODUCTS
Cat food is
formulated to address the specific nutritional
requirements of cats, in particular containing the amino
acid taurine, as cats cannot thrive on taurine deficient
food and can go blind when fed with dog food.
Most store-bought cat food comes in either dry form, also
known as kibble, or wet canned form. Some manufacturers
sell frozen raw diets and premix products to cater to
owners who feed raw.
Major brand-name dry cat food manufacturers often use
primarily grain based ingredients like corn and rice with
meat by products or animal digest making up the meat
ingredients. Some manufacturers offer 'premium',
'natural' or 'holistic' formulas that are by product free
and contains less or no grains. Grain-free dry diets
still contain carbohydrates, from sources such as potato
or tapioca as the starch in those ingredients is needed
to allow the kibble to hold its shape. Cats have no
metabolic need for carbohydrates as the feline system
prefers to create glucose from protein.
