Real meat
Purina Chow stands out from other brands of cat food by using real meat as its primary ingredient, meaning it’s high in protein and low in carbohydrates.
This is beneficial, as it provides cats with essential nutrients for growth and reduces their likelihood of becoming overweight.
The Real Meat Company is a pet food manufacturer that promises to offer affordable meat-based cat food at lower costs than other options. They do this by air drying meat, organs and bone to preserve nutrients while eliminating pathogens.
They offer several recipes. Some include chicken by-product meal as the primary ingredient, while others incorporate meats and grains.
This dry cat food aims to address two common issues indoor cats face–hairballs and weight gain. It begins with chicken by-product meal, then contains a blend of grains such as whole wheat flour, corn gluten meal and rice, followed by beef fat for protein sources. Plus it’s formulated for all life stages with added vitamins and minerals for added nourishment.
Omega fats
Omega fats are essential nutrients for your pet’s wellbeing. Not only do they promote healthy skin and coat, but they reduce inflammation, support joint health and provide immune system protection as well.
Polyunsaturated fats can be obtained from fish oil or some plant sources such as hemp seed oil. Both sources are high in omega-3 fatty acids, with fish oil being the preferred option since it’s easily absorbed by your cat’s body.
To ensure your cat receives essential fatty acids in their diet, feed them a high-quality food that contains them. Alternatively, fish oils and hemp oil supplements have been specifically formulated for cats to provide additional nourishment.
If you’re thinking of adding fish oil to your pet’s diet, be sure to select a reliable company known for their high quality products. Your cat’s wellbeing depends on the quality of fish oil they receive. If unsure how much is appropriate, consult your veterinarian for guidance.
Taurine
Taurine is an essential amino acid that must be provided by your cat’s food supply. It supports normal heart muscle function, eye health and reproductive development in kittens.
Cats need taurine in order to produce bile salts which aid digestion, so providing them with a diet rich in taurine is important. Whether your cat is on commercial food or homemade meals, be sure to check the label for taurine levels.
An inadequate supply of taurine in your cat can have serious consequences. The most prevalent issue is central retinal degeneration, which could ultimately result in blindness for cats.
Degenerative vision loss in cats is caused by a lack of taurine in their retinal rods and cones as well as in the tapetum lucidum tissue which reflects light to the brain. If caught early enough, supplements can be given; however, if left untreated, damage to these structures is irreversible. For this reason it’s best to have your vet check your cat’s blood for taurine levels regularly.
Vitamins and minerals
Purina cat food is packed with essential vitamins and minerals for every stage of a cat’s life. These include essential fatty acids for her skin and coat, healthy carbs for energy, as well as high-quality protein to build strong muscles.
Your cat’s health is of the utmost importance, so it’s essential that you provide her with proper nutrition. That’s why each of our Cat Chow recipes has been specifically created with your feline friend in mind.
At 3-4 weeks of age, provide moistened Purina Cat Chow Complete to kittens at all times. At 6-8 weeks old, kittens usually enjoy eating either dry or moistened food at their discretion.
Adult cats require a different diet to promote healthy weight. That is why this delicious dry cat food includes fewer calories than our regular formula to help your feline achieve her ideal weight. Plus, it features an all-natural fiber blend which helps control hairballs and provides 100 percent complete and balanced nutrition for your furry friend.
