明明渣古都只係一歲多一點,已經肥得要食老貓糧/減肥糧，因為他們實在是太‧肥‧了!!
今次介紹的是渣古吃了數個月的老貓糧。
NOW 是加拿大出產的。 包裝如圖:
通常我會三分二老貓糧, 三分一成貓糧這樣餵。
Ingredients:
De-boned turkey, potato flour, peas,
pea fibre, whole dried egg, potatoes, tomato, flax seed, apples, canola oil (preserved with mixed tocopherols), alfalfa, de-boned salmon, de-boned duck,
natural flavour, coconut oil (preserved with mixed tocopherols), lecithin, carrots, pumpkin, bananas, blueberries, cranberries, raspberries, blackberries, papayas, pineapple, grapefruit, lentil beans (小扁豆), broccoli, spinach (菠菜), cottage cheese, alfalfa sprouts,
dicalcium phosphate, calcium carbonate,
phosphoric acid,
sodium chloride, potassium chloride, DL-methionine, taurine, vitamins (vitamin E supplement,
L-ascorbyl-2-polyphosphate (a source of Vitamin C), niacin, inositol, vitamin A supplement, thiamine mononitrate, d-calcium pantothenate, pyridoxine hydrochloride, riboflavin, beta-carotene, vitamin D3 supplment, folic acid, biotin, Vitamin B12 supplement), minerals, (zinc proteinate, ferrous sulphate, zinc oxide, iron proteinate, copper sulphate, copper proteinate, manganese proteinate, manganous oxide, calcium iodate, sodium selenite), dried kelp,
L-lysine, dried chickory root, dried Lactobacillus acidophilus fermentation product, dried Enterococcus faecium fermentation product, dried Aspergillus niger fermentation product, dried Aspergillus oryzae fermentation product, yucca schidigera extract, yeast extract (酵母抽提物),
L-carnitine, marigold, dried rosemary.
... 還是一大埋的不知名成份...
然後, 在查資料途中, 給我找到這個網, 希望對大家有用。好像主要是for dog food 的, 但對貓糧來說也有參考價值。

今次抽數個 2 星成份出來解釋一下, 星數是根據網頁的:
L-ascorbyl-2-polyphosphate - Cheap, feed-grade source of Vitamin C, used as supplement, non-assimilated (found in 10% of pet food products analyzed)
L-carnitine - Supplements poor meat source diets, a B-vitamin factor naturally found in meat, important in regulating fat metabolism (found in 16% of pet food products analyzed)
L-lysine - Source of Lysine (essential amino acid found in meat), needed to use for food enrichment for grain-based foods (found in 8% of pet food products analyzed)
Vitamin B12 & D3 supplements - indicates lack of well rounded supplements aids immune function and encourages calcium and phosphorous to build bone and teeth
然後比我發現幾隻一星的ingredients 出現:
Dicalcium phosphate - can become toxic to body (found in 26% of pet food products analyzed)。但四分一的寵物食品都有這種成份, 除了自己煮東西給渣古吃, 很難避免。只好再細仔找糧。相信不過量應該沒害。
Phosphoric acid - a sequestering agent for rendered animal fats - implies poor quality fats are used, source of phosphorous (found in 12% of pet food product analyzed)。雖然如此, the use of poor quality of animals fat 只係可能性。
總結成份表來說, 除了以上兩隻成份外, 其他都是正常無害的。唯一要說的是, 第二成份就是photato flour, 計算下來, 碳水化合物的數值會很高。
再來看一下 guaranteed analysis:
Crude protein (min.) 30%
Crude fat (min.) 14%
Crude fiber (max.) 5%
Moisture (max.) 10%
Ash (max.) 6.5%
Phosphorus (min.) 0.6%
Magnesium (max.) 0.1%
Taurine (min.) 2800mg/kg
Omega 6 (min.) 2.6%
Omega 3 (min.) 0.52%
Microorganisms (min.) 90 000 000 CFU/lb
因為是老貓糧, protein 同fat比起成貓糧低很多, 相對的fiber高一點。我比較在意的是phosphorus % 比起其他貓糧低很多, 通常的是1%以上。而且omega 6 也是比較低。
貓糧的size 是超級細。應該是為了老貓不用咀嚼那麼多吧。
嗅起上來比較淡, 近乎沒有香味。
其實渣古不太愛吃, 總是留到最後才吃。
另外, 價錢實在是太貴 7.3kg 賣693, $95 / kg。感覺上性價比有點低。不過在找到別的老貓糧前先吃著吧。
每日每隻$5.7。
