Cat Food
Why
do all cats need protein like found in Petcurean Cat Food?
Proteins are
necessary for all aspects of growth and development
and are very important in structural make up and the immune
system. In addition, they are burned as calories and can be
converted to and stored as fat.
In
reality, our cats do not need the protein in Petcurean Cat
Food but they need the building blocks that make up the
protein, amino acids. There are 22 amino acids that animals need. Animals can synthesize
12 of them. The remaining ones must be consumed. The
ones that the animals cannot synthesize are called essential
amino acids. They are arginine, histidine, isoleucine, leucine,
lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan,
valine, and in cats, taurine.
Dogs
can synthesize taurine, and therefore, it is not supplemented in their food. This is why there is the old adage that dogs can eat cat food but cats cannot
eat dog food. A deficiency in any of the amino acids can cause
health-related problems.
