? Phosphorus in food ?

[Gill & Mac (UK)]

Hi
I have been looking at various wet foods on the charts on here and elsewhere and i know that <10% carb is good (ideally 4% - 6% even better) and high protein is good.
I have noticed that the phosphorus % vary a lot between foods even for some of the lower carb foods.
But I don't know anything about the significance of phosphorus levels for diabetic & civvie cats and what effect it has on them or what is considered a good level.
Can anyone enlighten me please?
I've tagged you Eliz (@Elizabeth and Bertie) as you kindly sent me some food related info before which I have been referencing.
Thanks
Gill

Phosphorus is only an issue if they have kidney disease. In that case you try to find a good lower phosphorus low carb food if past beginning stages.
