Yesterday I was checking Applaws dry cat foods. Since they are grain-free and have high meat content and at an affordable price comparing to most of the grain-free foods, I thought we might try it.
However, when I checked the calcium and phosporus levels, I was suprised how high they are!
In chicken formula there is 2,3% calcium and 1,5% phosporus.
In chicken-lamb formula there is 2,7% calcium and 1,6% phosporus.
In chicken-salmon formula there is 2,8% calcium and 1,6% phosporus.
The ratio is between 1,53 - 1,75. Isn't it too high? Isn't the ideal calcuim/phosporus ratio in cat food 1.1/1?
I freaked out these high levels of calcium may cause bladder stones. What do you think?
