Nutritional outline??

Hey guys!

Does anybody know of some sort of outline that's on the internet that says what percentages of various vitamins/minerals/protein, etc. cats should get per day?

Thanks!

try AFFCO they make the Minum standards so to speak

Hmm...what does that stand for? I tried Googling it, and only got the American Felt and Filter Company. Hehe...

This is probably the most comprehensive listing I have bookmarked, it lists it's sources so take those into consideration!

This site lists the minimum requirements for cats: http://www.serve.com/BatonRouge/nrc1.htm

The information comes from several different sources, including AAFCO.

www.AAFCrg determines the nutrient requirement breakdown for all pet food manufacturers. You have to be careful in how you interpret % of ingredients if you are reading a label. Protein and fat %'s can be deceiving because compromised nutrition sources are used in foods to meet AAFCO requirements. If you are looking to see about feeding your cat out of homemade ingredients, I would highly recommend books by CJ Puotinen including Natural Remedies for Dogs and Cats and many more.

Thanks for the sites, guys!! Those are exactly what I've been looking for, especially the one you posted, momto3cats!

Thank you!!

Oh, btw...I'm not looking to do a homemade diet, I just want to be able to find the right balance of nutrition in dry food, since my girl, Sunny, REFUSES to eat wet food of any kind.

Thank you, guys!!
