I have very recently become aware of a company called PawTree that sells dog and cat products through direct sales consultants. I contacted them and was given information about the wet food carbohydrate and phosphorous content. I wanted to post that here in case anyone else is looking for it. I did a search, and very few results for PawTree came up. I copied and pasted this from an email, so I apologize for the formatting. I also felt like some of the percentages didn't add up to 100%, like the Lamb and Turkey Pate is like 117% instead of 100% total.
I am looking for healthy food options to feed my cats to prevent diabetes and kidney disease, which is why I asked about the carbs and phosphorous. Any other input about this brand or others is welcome.
Q. What are the actual amounts of magnesium and phosphorous in each of the canned cat food varieties (nutrient analysis on a dry matter basis)?
A. Morsels and Gravy: Lamb & Turkey Morsels in Gravy — Magnesium: as fed 0.02%; dry matter 0.11% Phosphorus: as fed 0.27%; dry matter 1.34%
Turkey & Chicken Morsels in Gravy --- Magnesium: as fed 0.02%; dry matter 0.10% Phosphorus: as fed 0.31%; dry matter 1.51%
Whitefish, Salmon & Herring Morsels in Gravy — Magnesium: as fed 0.02%; dry matter 0.09% Phosphorus: as fed 0.29%; dry matter 1.42%
Pate:
Chicken & Turkey Pate — Magnesium: as fed 0.03%; dry matter 0.11% Phosphorus: as fed 0.29%; dry matter 1.20%
Lamb & Turkey Pate — Magnesium: as fed 0.03%; dry matter 0.12% Phosphorus: as fed 0.32%; dry matter 1.31%
Salmon & Oceanfish Pate — Magnesium: as fed 0.03%; dry matter 0.11% Phosphorus: as fed 0.29%; dry matter 1.19%
