REGULAR CAT FOOD COMPARISON CHART

ob·li·gate [adj. ob-li-geyt] car·ni·vore [noun kahr-nuh-vohr]

An obligate or a true carnivore is an animal that must eat meat in order to thrive. Just like leopards, lions and tigers, your cat is an
obligate carnivore and has no nutritional requirement for carbohydrates in their diet. True carnivores lack the physiology required for
the efficient digestion of vegetable matter and, in fact, some carnivorous mammals eat vegetation specifically as an emetic (to induce
vomiting). The domestic cat is a prime example of an obligate or true carnivore and has no nutritional requirement for carbohydrates or
other vegetable matter. The excess carbs and plant products found in many leading cat foods may be the primary cause of diabetes,
obesity and UTI in cats today.

Analysis

Protein % 50-54 55 50 thing you’d think of. And you’d be right. That’s
because they all have one thing in common;
Fat % 22-26 24 22 they are made of basically meat and fat and
almost no carbohydrates. The cat food you
Carbs - digestible 3-4% ZERO Less than 5% choose should match Mother Nature’s nutrient
profile for small creatures and should be at least
50% protein (from animal sources not plant proteins), a balanced fat level of 20% - 24% and should contain no more than 5%
digestible carbs. (Diabetic cats should never have digestible carbohydrates in their food.) The body composition of a Juvenile
mouse is what we believe to be the perfect nutrition for your obligate carnivore.

Ingredients in red on the chart below are comprised of cereal grains, fruits, vegetables, grasses, plant proteins, forage material
and/or other ingredients that contain plant protein. Plant based ingredients that are included as sources of non-digestible dietary
fiber are exempt and not shown in red (examples Tomato Pomace, Beet Pulp, Cellulose, Guar Gum and Pea Fiber). Potato Starch,
although a plant material, is not shown in red because it contains no plant proteins. However it is still important that the total amount
of digestible carbohydrates in the diet remains less than 5%, matching the body composition of a juvenile mouse.

YOUNG AGAIN PHILOSOPHY: The Young Again Philosophy is that digestible carbs in excess of 5% should not be fed to obligate
carnivores like your cat. Young Again also believes that you should feed free choice and not have to restrict feed or portion control
your cat to promote proper weight.
