VegeCAT Supplement 190g Vet approved (USA) powdered vegan supplement for use in home made cat foods that has been in use since 1986.
Provides essential nutiritients for healthy Vegan cats. Simply add to food to ensure cat has all essential nutrients. The enclosed (vegan) recipies, used with Vegecat, meet nutritional levels established by the Association of American Feed Controls Officials's (AAFCO) Cat Food Nutrient Profile for Maintenance of adult cats. Amino Acids Cats need dietary taurine, but significant quantities naturally occur only in animal tissues. A shortage causes blindness and heart disease. Vitamins Most mammals biosynthesize Vitamin A from the yellow pigment (carotene) found in vegetables. Cats lack this ability, making a dietary source of this vitamin, found naturally only in animal tissues, essential. Vitamin D is another essential vitamin, found naturally only in animal tissues as D3. Fatty Acids The essential fatty acid Arachidonate is rare in non-animal sources. Cats require it for numerous vital metabolic processes including reproduction. Vegecat products contain the rare nutrients mentioned above derived from non-animal sources, such as D2 from yeast. Optimum Nutrition For optimum health on the vegan diet, consider adding enzymes as well to each meal.
