Carbohydrates in Edgard & Cooper cat food
Our dry cat food contains around 34–37% carbohydrates, while our wet recipes contain approximately 2.5%.
Cats are obligate carnivores and naturally thrive on animal-based ingredients. However, they are also able to digest and utilise carbohydrates efficiently as a source of energy.
Importantly, a significant proportion of the carbohydrates in our recipes comes from dietary fibre. Fibre supports digestive health, helps maintain healthy stool quality, and contributes to overall gut balance. It can also promote satiety, which is particularly beneficial for indoor and neutered cats.
We carefully select our carbohydrate sources to suit different lifestyles from very active cats to indoor and neutered cats ensuring each recipe remains balanced, functional and appropriate for their needs.
Calculate the carbohydrate content of your cat's food
Carbohydrate percentages are not listed directly in the ingredient list, but you can calculate the percentage for any recipe easily.
Subtract the following percentages of recipe ingredients from a total of 100. Percentages will vary depending on the recipe:
Dry cat kibble
6% moisture (this is the same for all of our cat kibble recipes)
X% crude proteins
X% crude oils and fats
X% crude fibre
X% crude ash
Wet cat food
X% moisture (this can be found in the ingredients list)
X% crude proteins
X% crude oils and fats
X% crude fibre
X% crude ash
The remaining percentage will be the carbohydrate content. Our kibble also contains a vital mixture of minerals that contribute to a complete nutritional profile to ensure your cat's needs are met.
