Dry food recommendation

juliannesmom Jan 05, 2012 05:45 AM

I am looking for a carb free (not only grain free, but carb free) dry food for my adult cat. Quality is imperative. I would not mind having to mail order it. Thanks.

Hi There,

I've done some research and have not been able to find a carb-free dry cat food. I'm pretty sure that some kind of carbohydrate is necessary to manufacture dry food.

You can probably find a carb-free canned food, which would be a more natural diet anyway, if that is why you are seeking a food made without carbs. It is true that cats do not require carbs in their diet, however a small amount in their diet is ok. In the wild they do ingest carbs in the stomach contents of their prey.

Please feel free to post again with any additional questions.

Regards,
PHKitkat
