Feeding Calculator
Cats are natural carnivores, and they eat a variety of different meats in the wild. At SDT, we believe that every animal should have access to a species-specific diet that matches their natural eating habits.
That’s why, to complement our raw dog food range, we now offer raw cat food for your feline companions. Designed with pet nutrition in mind, our raw cat food provides all the protein, fats, vitamins and minerals needed for healthy development.
Transitioning your cat from wet or dry food to raw can seem confusing, but it’s actually surprisingly easy. Use our raw cat food calculator to work out roughly the amount of raw cat food your pet should be eating.
Make sure you monitor your cat during the transition to raw food to ensure their body adjusts correctly. Our calculator ensures that cats get the calories and nutrition needed for ideal body condition, but for more accurate recommendations, speak to your vet.
How To Use Our Raw Cat Food Calculator
Our cat food calculator is quick and easy to use, helping you work out how much to feed your pet. There are three stages to the process:
- Input Your Cat’s Age: From kittens to adult cats, we can recommend how much to feed per day for your cat’s age.
- Tell Us Your Cat’s Weight: Our raw cat food calculator is designed to help your cat maintain their current body weight and condition, but you can adjust the food portions to take into consideration additional needs, such as if your cat is underweight.
- Get Your Recommendation: In just a few steps, we’ll determine how much raw cat food to feed your cat.
It’s important to remember that our raw cat food calculator is only a guide based on keeping your pet at their ideal weight and body condition. It doesn’t take into account other factors, such as your cat’s activity level, health problems, breed or goals like weight gain or weight loss, although the food intake can be adjusted by you to account for issues such as inactive or high-energy pets.
If you’re looking for a customised feeding plan for your kitten or cat, contact your vet to discuss their needs.
Frequently Asked Questions
Raw cat food is designed to give your cat all the nutrients they need in a tasty dish. Our raw cat food is formulated to be as close to a cat’s natural diet as possible and help them live a healthy, happy life.
When fed raw food, cats won’t usually overeat, as their meal is satisfying to them. However, some cats might be predisposed to being greedy or just eat too much if given the opportunity, especially if you are feeding treats as well as your cat’s main meals. This could lead them to eat more calories than needed and exceed their target weight. As such, you should take into account our recommended food intake and make sure treats do not exceed 10% of your cat’s daily calories.
Use our feeding calculator to work out how much raw cat food to feed your pet. Once you know how much to feed them and you’ve chosen the best food from our range that suits your pet’s tastes, you can start feeding them their new food straight away. If needed, you can mix in a little of their old food to coax your cat to eat, but the delicious taste of raw cat food should encourage them by itself.
Raw cat food should be fed to your cat twice a day, with each meal containing half their daily portion. You can also provide small treats throughout the day to stimulate your cat. If your cat seems hungry, check that you have used the raw cat food calculator correctly and speak to your vet if necessary.
