Authority brand cat food is marketed by the company “PetSmart”, as their higher grade store-brand pet food. PetSmart also markets their “Sophisticat” brand , though Sophisticat is considered to be of lower quality than Authority cat food. PetSmart was first founded in 1986, and was originally based in Phoenix, Arizona. By the 1990's, PetSmart had expanded across the United States, and even opened a few stores in Canada. Technically, PetSmart was named PETsMART at the time, though soon changed their name to “PetSmart”, to emphasize their dedication to pet care. In addition to selling pet food, PetSmart also sells a variety of products for caring for pets. Authority brand cat food was one of the brands that was involved in the recent pet food recall, having three canned cat food formulas on the recall list. However, no Authority brand dry cat food formulas are currently affected by the recall.

Authority Dry Cat Food Review

Authority brand cat food is currently available in eight different dry cat food formulas. In general, Authority brand cat food has a protein-based first ingredient, though is not currently available in a low-carbohydrate or grain-free formula.
