Can cats digest carbohydrates even though they are carnivores?

Hello everyone,

I have a question about the place of carbohydrates in cat nutrition. Since cats are known to be obligate carnivores, I often read conflicting information about whether they can actually digest carbs properly or not.

Could you explain to what extent cats are able to digest and use ...

Why aren’t carbohydrate levels displayed for pet food?

Hello everyone,

I have a question about how information is shown on pet food packaging. In animal nutrition (for farm animals, for example), carbohydrate values are usually provided in a clear and standardized way, but for dog and cat food these carb levels are almost never displayed directly on ...

I prefer ingredient lists over carbohydrate levels

Hello everyone,

Personally, I do not rely on carbohydrate percentages at all when I evaluate a pet food. I know these values are often estimated and can be quite unreliable, so I do not use them as a real decision criterion.

Instead, I focus on the ingredient list and try to understand the quality ...

Why do people rely on carbohydrate levels if they are said to be unreliable?

Hello everyone,

I often see people comparing pet foods based on their carbohydrate percentage, even though many sources say that these values are not very reliable because carbs are usually calculated “by difference” from incomplete label data. This makes me wonder why carbohydrate levels are still ...

Why create a petfood-score ABCDE if label data are unreliable?

Hello everyone,

I have a question about the petfood-score ABCDE concept. If the information on pet food labels is often incomplete, unclear, or even unreliable, why do we still base an ABCDE scoring system on these data?

Isn’t there a risk that the score itself will be biased or misleading if the ...

What are the rating criteria behind these ABCDE scores?

Hello everyone,

I have seen that there are many different ABCDE scoring systems for pet food, and it looks like each one uses its own method and criteria. This makes it difficult to understand how the final grade is calculated and to compare products fairly.

Could you please explain which criteria ...
