Request for Donations
Welcome to the updated Food Chart! Over the past 6 years, this chart has helped countless cat
caregivers navigate the wide array of cat food choices but now I am asking folks to ‘pay it forward’ to
help homeless cats & kittens that are less fortunate than the ones with a roof over their head and
someone to love and care for them. As a veterinarian heavily focused on rescue work, I have
witnessed significant suffering of these animals and I want to do all that I can to help them whenever
possible.
The information on this chart and on my website at catinfo.org continues to benefit many felines but I
would love to see the lives of homeless cats & kittens improve also.
If you find this chart to be of help to you and your four-legged family members, please consider a
donation to FixNation which is a wonderful non-profit organization that focuses on spaying/neutering
of homeless and owned cats. Considering that 1 female cat and her offspring have the potential to
produce 420,000 kittens in 7 years, one can see the tremendous amout of suffering that can be
prevented by spaying/neutering.
This chart took a tremendous amout of time to compile and I can’t think of a better way to be
compensated for my time than to have my efforts result in getting more help for homeless cats and
kittens. They will appreciate any donation, no matter how small! FixNation’s website is FixNation.org
if you would like to learn more about this great organization.
No Dry Food on this Chart
There is no dry kibble included here. See the Urinary Tract Diseases and Diabetes webpages at
catinfo.org for specific reasons why dry food is not recommended for cats. The main reasons are:
1) Water-depleted diets do not promote urinary tract health and they signifcantly increase your cat's
risk for very painful and potentially fatal urethral obstructions, as well as other urinary tract
problems. Please see Opie’s pictures for a good look at the tremendous amount of suffering that dry
food often causes. Cats have a low thirst drive and consume ~50% more water when on a wet diet
versus a dry diet. This is considering all water sources: food + water bowl
2) Dry kibble is typically higher in carbohydrates than wet food. Carbohydrates negatively impact the
blood sugar level of many cats and diets that are high in carbs are not species-appropriate. The insulin
needs of diabetic cats nearly always decrease signifcantly when their dietary carbohydrate load is
decreased. A serious hypoglycemic state can occur in diabetic patients receiving insulin when this is
not recognized. Please note that even some canned foods (e.g., Hill’s Rx diets and their retail
“Science” diets) are species-inappropriately high in carbohydrates.
3) Cats are obligate carnivores and are designed to get their protein from animal sources, not plants
(grains and vegetables - including potatoes).
If your cat is addicted to dry food, see Tips for Transitioning Dry Food Addicts to Canned Food.

NOT RECOMMENDED
Compiling the Chart
The following is a list of
companies that were not
forthcoming with TNA data
for their products. Given
that there are plenty of
other choices on the
market, the consumer
should not support
companies that do not
respect the consumer’s right
to quickly and easily obtain
vital nutrition information.
(More comments can be
found at the bottom of the
chart.)
The data used to calculate the values on this chart are from Typical Nutrient Analysis (TNA) data -
not the Guaranteed Analysis (GA) data which is listed on the product’s package (can/pouch/bag). GA
values are reported as minimums and maximums and are, by definition, inaccurate since there is no
ceiling or floor, respectively.
Also note that phosphorus values are not listed on the package and this value is important for cats
with kidney disease. (The lower the phosphorus level, the better.)

The listing of fat as a “minimum” instead of a “maximum” is especially problematic because fat is
cheap and protein is expensive. Allowing pet food companies to list fat as a minimum instead of a
maximum gives pet food companies free rein to produce high fat (and, therefore, low protein)
diets which serves to enhance their bottom line but, on a good note, also provides a more affordable
price point for the consumer.
Nutrisca (Dogswell
brand)
When animal by-products are used as a source of protein, the consumer often gets more bang for
their buck and the cat is fed a more species-appropriate composition - i.e., higher protein/lower fat
diets at a lower price. Please see the comments at catinfo.org regarding by-products. The ‘anti-by-
product’ movement has been taken to an extreme.
Party Animal
Feline Natural (K9
Natural)
Data accuracy: Even though TNA data are more precise than GA data, the values on this chart
should be taken as very loose approximations. All foods vary in their nutrient composition and,
therefore, commercial food formulations will vary from batch-to-batch.
Blackwood
The bottom line is - this chart is the best that we can do but it is important to understand that these
values are not ‘etched in stone’ and will also change if a company alters its formula. If you are
concerned with having the most current data on the food that you feed to your cat, you will need to call
the company periodically to see if the formulation has changed.

If you get frustrated with commercial cat food options and you desire more control over ingredient
quality, source, composition, and phosphorus content of your cat’s food, see Making Cat Food.
(Compostion = caloric distribution of protein/fat/carbohydrate.)
Using the Chart
Cats are obligate carnivores and are metabolically designed to consume diets with the following
general composition:
1) animal (not plant)-based protein (>50% calories)
2) moderate fat (~20-40% calories)
3) very low carbohydrate (1-2% calories)
4) water-rich (~70%)
Keep this in mind when choosing food for cats but also understand that pet food ingredients are proft
margin-driven. Protein is expensive. Fat and carbohydrate sources are cheap. This fact often results
in the production of high fat/high carb/low protein diets as you will notice below. High-fat meat
trimmings from the human market, not lean muscle meat, are what make their way into the pet food
chain, and grains are less expensive than meat.
“95% Chicken” does not mean 95% chicken meat. A “95% Chicken” diet can be extremely high in fat
and low in protein because “Chicken” can be mostly fat.
On a good note, in general, most cats handle high fat diets better than they do high carbohydrate
diets. They are designed to eat protein and fat, not carbohydrates. Therefore, cats often do quite well
on the relatively low protein/relatively high fat commercial diets. (“Relative” to what they would
consume in the wild.)
Grain-Free: Please be aware that this marketing phrase is often used to influence pet owners to think
that a diet carrying this distinction is automatically a healthy diet for their cat. Unfortunately, pet food
companies often just replace grains with carbohydrate-laden peas and potatoes resulting in a diet that
is not low-carbohydrate. Please replace the phrase “grain-free” with “low-carb” in your vocabulary
when shopping for cat food. Some “grain-free” products are low in carbs but many are not so shop
wisely.
Carbohydrates: Choosing diets with 10% or less carb calories is a good goal but, unless the cat is
diabetic, sticking with less than 15% is also reasonable.

“Gravy” foods are often high in carbohydrates due to the starch thickeners (e.g., rice flour) that are
sometimes used to make the gravy. Some ‘gravy’ is made with gums (e.g., guar or xanthan) and those
substances are soluble fibers (which may actually promote intestinal health) and do not contribute to
the carbohydrate fraction in the same way as starches do. In short, I would rather see guar or
xanthan gum thickeners than starch (‘flour’) thickeners in gravy foods.
Liver: I like to see “liver” on the label; it is a very good source of vitamin A and D, as well as copper
and zinc. I would much rather see vitamins coming from whole foods rather than out of a laboratory.
When vitamins are listed on the label separately, those are not coming from whole foods but are
manufactured in a laboratory. If you feed a product without liver, please incorporate one with liver a
few times each week.
Users of the old chart will notice that dry matter values (the weight of a nutrient) have been removed
in order to streamline the chart and to make it look less overwhelming. The other reason is because,
nutritionally-speaking, looking at the composition (the distribution of protein, fat, and carbohydrate) of
food is best done on a calorie (energy) basis not a ‘weight’ basis.
Except as otherwise noted, the products listed are considered to be complete diets, rather than for
supplemental or intermittent feeding only. That said, double check the label of any diet that you are
feeding (if used as a sole diet) to make sure that it does not use the words “supplemental” or “for
intermittent feeding” since these products are not balanced for use as the only diet that is fed.
Applaws, Evangers, and Wysong are examples of companies that manufacture diets that are for
supplemental use only. In general, “supplemental” diets do not contain enough nutrients such as
calcium, B vitamins, iodine, etc. These unbalanced diets should not make up more than 15-20% of the
cat’s total caloric intake. Stated another way, if you feed your cat 21 meals per week, you could use
these supplmental diets for ~4 meals per week as stand-alone meals or mixed with a nutritionally
balanced product.
Inclusion of a product in this chart does not imply any endorsement. The chart is simply a compilation
of data for many commercial options.
If a cell is blank, that means the information was not provided.
If you are interested in obtaining TNA data on a product not found on this chart, you will need to call the
company. See Commercial Canned Cat Food for some help with the dialog to use. If you obtain
some usable data, you can send it to me via my Contact form at catinfo.org and I will add it to the list
when I find the time.

This company does not make any balanced diets for full-time use. The Cans, Layers, Pots, and
Pouches are intended to be fed only as a supplement to a balanced diet. “Supplemental” diets do not
contain enough calcium, etc. These unbalanced diets should not make up more than 15-20% of the
cat’s total caloric intake. Stated another way, if you feed your cat 21 meals per week, you could use
these products for ~4 meals per week as stand-alone meals or mixed with a nutritionally balanced

Restricted Diet
Please note that Dave’s Chicken in Sauce - low protein & and low phosphorus product mimics Hill’s k/d
renal diet which is one that I would never feed to any cat in my care - including patients with kidney
disease. It was a very sad day when protein became the enemy of the feline kidney. Please do not
feed diets that are this low in protein.

Delights with Cheddar
The relatively low phos value of 265 for the Turkey was obtained from Purina’s Veterinary Product
Guide. It was based on TNA dry matter basis. The other 3 phos values came from what appear to be
GA values (not accurate) obtained from a phone call to Purina. I suspect that the phos values for the
chicken, tuna, and whitefish are actuallly lower than shown below.

WYSONG
IMPORTANT: Please note that the Wysong Epigen (formerly “Au Jus”) diets are not complete and
balanced for use as a sole diet unless the Wysong Call of the Wild supplement is added. The Epigen
canned foods do not contain enough calcium and other nutrients to provide a nutritinally balanced diet.
If you want to feed these diets as a stand-alone meal a few times/week, or mix 10-15% of this
unbalanced diet with 85-90% of a balanced diet then that should be fine.

List of Shame
Companies varied widely in how readily they provided their Typical Nutrient Analysis (TNA) data. A few
companies actually refused to provide it saying that it is “proprietary” which is utterly ridiculous. Any
company that considers this type of very basic data to be “proprietary” is exhibiting a complete lack of
respect for the consumers that they are expecting to purchase their products.
Several companies had to be called 4-5 times before they would provide any data. I had to be
extremely persistent (to put it mildly) with some of them. If a company does not have the information
readily available….and if I have to badger the company to get the data…..it is hard to trust it once it is
provided.
On the other hand, several companies actually have this valuable data right on their website (100 Gold
Stars for them!).
Suffice it to say, the consumer should never have to beg for the basic nutritional information
found on this chart.
The worst company to deal with has been Petsmart. I will not bore the reader with the details but the
bottom line is that this company has been a nightmare to deal with. Their lack of respect for the
consumer is abundantly clear and I strongly recommend that you spend your hard-earned dollars
elsewhere.

The Petsmart brands that I urge you to not purchase are: Authority, Good Natured, Grreat Choice,
and Simply Nourish. There are plenty of other choices on the market made by companies that have
more respect for the consumer and the deeply loved family members that are consuming their
products.
At this time, I also recommend that the reader NOT purchase: Addiction, Nutrisca (Dogswell), Party
Animal, and Feline Natural (K9 Natural). I will consider removing them from the NOT
RECOMMENDED list if I ever receive TNA data from these companies.
Additional Comments
Water is my favorite word when feeding cats. I will not feed any dry food to any cat in my care. Cats
have a low thirst drive and are designed to get their water needs met by their prey or food bowl.
Canned food (vs dry kibble) promotes urinary tract health and optimal systemic hydration which is
especially critical for cats with kidney insuffciency.
Please see Urinary Tract Diseases including Opie’s pictures for a look at the tremendous suffering
that water- depleted diets very often cause. Please do not fall into the trap that so many people do
by engaging in wishful thinking and assuming that your cat makes up the water defcit at the water bowl
when fed dry food. Studies have shown that when all water sources are considered (food and water
bowl), cats eating dry food – even the “good drinkers” - consume ~50% the amount of water that a cat
on canned food consumes. This is in spite of the fact that cats on water-rich diets rarely go to the water
bowl.
Composition: The caloric distribution of protein, fat, carbohdrate content of a diet. 100% of a diet’s
calories come from protein, fat, and carbohydrate. Therefore: % protein calories + % fat calories + %
carbohydrate calories = 100% This means that if, for example, a diet is appropriately low in
carbohydrates, the diet will be higher in protein, fat, or both. It is like a three-way teeter totter - if one
fraction goes up or down, one, or both, of the other two must increase or decrease accordingly to add
up to 100%.
Carbohydrates: This is an important area of consideration – especially for diabetic patients. I often
see diabetic cat caregivers taking this value far too literally…assuming that 6% vs 9% is statistically
significant when it is not. Unfortunately, this macronutrient is not actually measured in a lab. Instead, it
is calculated by subtraction. In other words, we add up the moisture + protein + fat + fber + ash and
subtract that value from 100% leaving us with the carbohydrate fraction. However, any error in those
Big Five values will result in an error (usually an overage) in the carbohydrate value.
Stated another way: The carb values noted on this chart are probably higher (overestimating) than they
actually are. Even a value of 10% carbs could actually be closer to 0% carbs. Therefore, stick with the
directive to stay below 10% carbohydrates but do NOT get caught up in whether a diet says
10%...or 5%....or 0% because these numbers are just not that accurate.

Take it one step further and read the label. For example, if you do not see any grains, or “peas,”
“potatoes,” “starch,” or “vegetables” on the label, even if it is listed as 10% carbs, chances are that it is
much lower. Keep in mind that liver does have some carbohydrates since it is the organ that stores
sugar for the body. That said, I DO want liver in the product since it is a wonderful source of nutrients
and it is far better to get our vitamins and minerals from **whole foods** rather than from a bottle
containing vitamins that were synthesized in a laboratory.
“Indoor,” “Weight Management,” and “Light” are all used to describe diets that are usually high in
carbohydrates. The goal of these diets is to make them less calorically-dense. Since 1 gram of a
protein and carb = 4 calories and 1 gram of fat = 9 calories, these diets are low in fat. Keep in mind the
“three-way tetter totter” discussed above in the Composition section. If one fraction (in this case, the
fat) is lowered, either one or both of the other two fractions must be increased. In this case, the pet
food companies *should* raise the protein when the fat is lowered but that would cut into their profit
margin so, instead, they increase the carbs which is a cheaper source of calories.
Biological value of protein: Animal-based protein has a much higher biological value when compared
to plant-based protein. Grains supply both protein and carbohydrate. Therefore, high carb diets often
have much of their protein coming from plants. Consider not only the amount of protein in a diet but
also the source of the protein. Diets using whole grains or glutens (gluten = plant-based protein) have
a portion of their protein coming from low biological value sources. See catinfo.org - Feeding Your
Cat: Know the Basics of Feline Nutrition for a discussion of biological value as it pertains to obligate
carnivores.
Protein source: How do we know how much of the protein is coming from animals versus plants
when an ingredient list includes both animal and plant (grains/potatoes/vegetables) protein sources?
The answer is, we don’t know but we need to be aware of the ‘ingredient splitting’ issue. Ingredients
are listed in descending order by weight. Consider this ingredient list: “Chicken, brewers rice, corn
gluten meal, whole grain corn, wheat gluten.”
Consumers often focus on the fact that “chicken” is the frst ingredient but when the grain fractions are
added together, their contribution to the diet is greater than the meat. Meat is also higher in water than
grains making it less protein-dense. This compounds the problem of grains contributing more to the
protein level than the animal sources. This type of ingredient list does not represent an optimal
carnivore diet. Meat ‘meals’ are a more concentrated source of protein but they are also very heavily
processed which results in nutrient loss.
Liver: I definitely want to see liver in the product since it is a wonderful source of nutrients (vitamin A
and D, copper, zinc, etc.,) and it is far better to get our vitamins and minerals from *whole foods*
rather than from a bottle containing vitamins that were synthesized in a laboratory. That said, not every
meal has to contain liver but I like to see some liver fed several times/week.

Fish: I do not favor feeding fish-based diets for several reasons: 1) allergy potential, 2) toxins/mercury
levels, 3) PBDE levels (fire retardant chemicals with thyroid-disrupting properties), 4) often high in
phosphorus and magnesium, 5) signifcant addiction issues - the cat will not eat anything else.
Soy does not belong in cat food and Purina often uses this ingredient. Cats have a hard enough time
maintaining thyroid health (hyperthyroidism is extremely common in older cats) and soy is a known
thyroid disruptor.
Pouches are typically high in water making them more expensive on a $$/calorie basis. I suggest
looking for products with a maximum water content of 78%, versus 82% or 85%. Pouches do not give
you much ‘bang for your buck.’
Obligate Carnivore: For more information on the diet that obligate carnivores are designed to eat,
see Dr. Zoran’s article entitled “The Carnivore Connection to Nutrition in Cats.”
Product names: You will notice that pet food labels use words such as “dinner” and “with” and
“flavor.” The “with” rule is also known as the “3% rule” meaning that if a label says “with chicken” there
only has to be 3% chicken in the product. If the word “chicken dinner” is used, there only has to be
25% chicken in the product. If the word “flavor” is used, there does not even have to be any chicken
present in the product. If you want to read more about pet food label rules see here.
If you are interested in making your own cat food, see Making Cat Food for a detailed discussion
regarding safe preparation and sourcing, along with a recipe that I have been feeding to my own cats
since 2003. The peace of mind that comes with my control over ingredients, composition, and safety
issues is priceless. I have not fed any commercial food to my cats since 2003.
This chart required hundreds of hours of phone calls, emails, and data entry to compile. Although I
tried to be very careful with data entry, mistakes may have occurred. If a value does not look correct,
contact me. If you do not receive a response, contact the manufacturer for verifcation.
Many thanks to Janet & Binky for their pioneering work in supplying nutrient data for cat owners. I
think that Binky would be pleased that Robbie picked up where he left off.
