How do you know which cat foods have what? I've tried looking on the can and can't see anything about carbs. I know I've copied the foods recommended on this forum, but would like to be able to determine myself what is best for my kitty. Can someone tell me how to do this?

Hi,
Here is a link to a really nifty little online calculator (I only came across this version a couple of weeks ago, and it's fab! :smile: )
You enter the values of protein, fat etc from the can label and then click 'calculate'. The figure you'll see in the turquoise box on the bottom right is the percentage of calories from carbs. And for a diabetic we're looking for that figure to be less than 10%, and the lower the better.
