Macro-Nutrient Profile (MNP)

The relative levels of Macro-Nutrients (protein, fat and carbohydrate) play a pivotal role in the leading edge nutritional studies from Waltham - the driving force behind the science of the PERFECT FIT™ range. The unique Macro-Nutrient Profile (MNP™) of the PERFECT FIT™ range is designed to deliver the balance of protein, fat and carbohydrate that your cat will instinctively prefer, and that suits her specific dietary needs.

Cats are obligate carnivores which means they have evolved as meat eaters and are not suited to eating cereals or sugars.  Now that we are responsible for feeding our cats we must choose their diet carefully to provide healthy energy levels and maintain superior health.

Over twenty years of research into the feeding behaviour of cats has shown that cats prefer products that are:
- “high in protein”
- “low in starch or carbohydrates”

IDEAL MACRO NUTRIENT PROFILE (MNP):

  • Cats prefer products with less than 25 % of the energy coming from carbohydrates
  • Cats prefer products in which more than 40 % of the energy comes from protein

 

PROFILE for Perfect Fit:  
% Energy coming from Protein 40
% Energy coming from Fat 35
% Energy coming from Carbohydrates 25
