Water is the most important nutrient of all and essential for life. Animals can lose almost all their fat and half their protein and still survive, but if they lose 15% of their water, it will mean death.
Learn what to look for in healthy pet food & nutrition, including ingredients, quality of the manufacturer, your pet's age, and any special needs they have.
Where you store your cat and dog food can make a big difference in the quality and freshness once it is opened. Here are some common questions and recommendations for optimal storage for all of Hill’s dry and canned cat and dog food.
Nature has equipped your cat with special powers refined by countless generations of chasing, hunting and surviving. Five senses uniquely define your pet as a cat. Each one plays an important role in how the world is perceived.
So many sounds are beyond the capacity of your ears, but your cat picks up on them with no problem. Cats even hear better than dogs. A range of 48 HZ to 85 kHz gives felines one of the broadest hearing ranges among mammals.
Your cat’s sense of smell is critical to learning about the environment. About 200 million odor-sensitive cells are found in a typical cat’s nose. Humans only have five million. Cats not only use their noses in conjunction with eating, they also rely on sense of smell to communicate with each other.
Whiskers and paws do the investigative work in a cat’s environment. Cats have whiskers on the backs of their front legs in addition to their face. They use whiskers to feel out objects around them and determining things like whether they can squeeze through a narrow opening. Certain whiskers help cats stalk prey in dim light.
Your cat’s sight is extraordinary, especially peripheral vision. A cat’s pupils can dilate wider to capture a panoramic view of the landscape. They are also specialists in detecting movement, a trait honed over thousands of years of hunting. It’s interesting to note, however, that cat’s do have a blind spot right under their chins. Despite their amazing sight, they can literally overlook something within reach.
There’s a reason cats won’t necessarily eat just any cat food you put in front of them. They only have about 470 taste buds. That sounds like a lot, but compare it to your own mouth that includes more than 9,000. Not only do cats have fewer taste buds, they’re also not as sensitive. That’s why they rely more on their sense of smell when it comes to choosing food.
