Why Cats Need Protein

High Protein Cat Food: CRAVE™ Protein-Rich Cat Food

High protein cat food is important for providing your pet with essential nutrients for muscle development, aiding in digestion, providing energy and supporting healthy immune systems. During digestion, the body breaks down dietary protein into amino acids. Different species have different daily requirements for amino acids. And cat food should have more protein than dog food (and human food).

Dietary Sources of Protein for Cats

Not all protein sources are equal. Real meat, while highly palatable, is lower in protein density than meat meal. Meat meal is a concentrated protein source derived from cooking away water and some of the fat from real meat. Plant protein is made by removing the starch components of either grains or vegetables. Plant proteins are highly digestible and rich in some essential amino acids to provide a complementary amino acid profile to animal proteins. Providing this kind of protein-rich cat food to your pet is an excellent way to maintain their health and energy.
