Most cats are being fed the wrong food — and their owners have no idea.

Feeding Your Cat by Tend & Tails Co. is a 50-page veterinary nutrition guide that cuts through pet food marketing to give you the science-backed facts your cat's health depends on. Written in plain language and grounded in guidelines from WSAVA, AAFP, and AAFCO, it's the guide every cat owner should have read before they bought their first bag of kibble.

What's inside:

  • Why cats are obligate carnivores — and why most commercial dry food works against their biology
  • How to actually read a pet food label (the product naming rules manufacturers count on you not knowing)
  • The water problem: why chronic mild dehydration is the most common and most overlooked feline health issue
  • Wet vs. dry vs. raw vs. fresh-cooked — an honest, evidence-based breakdown of every format
  • How to feed through every life stage, from newborn kitten to senior cat
  • How to calculate the right portion size using body condition, not just weight
  • 8 nutrition myths worth retiring — including grain-free, fish as a natural diet, and dry food cleaning teeth
  • When food becomes medicine: obesity, kidney disease, diabetes, urinary issues, and food allergies explained
  • A 7-day protocol for picky eaters
  • A printable cheat sheet designed to live on your fridge

Who it's for: New cat owners who want to get it right from the start. Experienced owners who suspect they've been doing it wrong. Anyone whose vet has recommended a diet change and wants to understand why.

Always consult your veterinarian for cats with diagnosed medical conditions. This guide is an educational resource, not a substitute for professional veterinary advice.

Format: PDF, 50 pages — instant download.

Is this guide for all cat breeds?

Yes. The nutritional principles apply across breeds. Where breed-specific differences exist — such as certain sensitivities in Persians or Siamese — they're clearly noted so you can apply what's relevant to your cat.

What format is the guide?

PDF. Opens on any device — phone, tablet, or laptop. No app required. You can save it, print it, or read it on the go.

How do I get it after buying?

You'll receive an email with a download link instantly after purchase. If you don't see it within a few minutes, check your spam folder.

My cat seems healthy — do I still need this?

Most nutritional deficiencies don't show obvious symptoms until they've been building for years. This guide helps you get ahead of the issues before they become vet bills — and gives you the confidence to know you're actually feeding your cat well.
