Support Our Local Pet Supply Store with Your Purchase of Grain-Free Food for Cats

How do you know your cat is getting the nutrition they need? You're bombarded with cat food commercials, each saying that their product is better than the others. Barkley's Pet Market in Hardy, VA can help reduce the confusion. We offer a wide array of cat foods and can help you in finding the one that is right for your precious pet.

Your cat is a hunter, descended from a long line of hunters. Wild felines naturally ate a wide selection of nutritious food, based upon what they could snag. But your domestic cat relies on you to feed them. Barkley's 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 could 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 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.

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 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 advice takes priority.

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