Shop Canned Food for Cats in Port Washington

How do you know your cat is receiving the nutrition they need? You're bombarded with cat food commercials, each saying that their product is superior than the others. One Wag (Natural Pet Supplies) in Port Washington, WI can help reduce the confusion. We carry a variety of cat foods and can assist you in choosing the one that is ideal 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 snag. But your domestic cat depends on you to feed them. One Wag (Natural Pet Supplies) 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 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. Also, some cat foods include carbohydrates, which are digestible and provide 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 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 include feeding instructions, but they're a guideline and not a "one size fits all." Your vet's recommendations takes priority.

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