How to choose -made food for cats

It would be wrong to think that truly good pet food is not produced in our country. And when foreign brands either leave the market or raise prices for their products beyond the limit, our pets will not be left without good nutrition. However, when choosing food, you need to look not only at the price, but also at the composition.

It’s no secret that seals are predators, and predators that have not lost their wild instincts. Therefore, of course, the main criterion for a good feed should be a high content of natural meat in it. The more of it, the better.

The second thing you should definitely pay attention to is the absence of artificial flavors and flavor enhancers in the feed. And the point is not only that these substances are harmful in themselves, but in the addiction that they cause in pets. Put yourself in their place: what tastes better – chips or boiled potatoes without salt? But we are still people and we understand that our body will not last long on chips alone, but cats, like children, want something tastier. And now, having tasted food saturated with flavor enhancers a couple of times, they do not want to eat anything else, even if it is thrice healthy. 

Therefore, make sure that your pet does not get hooked on tasty, but unhealthy food, therefore, before you buy food for him, carefully study its composition. And, of course, it is better to check with the store consultant in advance which class the food you have chosen belongs to. It is best to take one that is not lower than the premium class.

As for tastes, as you know, they do not argue about them – each cat prefers something of its own: someone likes fish (most often it is salmon or cod), someone likes poultry, someone likes beef or lamb. Among wet foods, meat or fish pieces in jelly are the most popular, but cats tend to like stews or pâtés less. Although, again, everything is very individual.

Popular questions and answers

We talked about the choice of food and feeding cats with zoo engineer, veterinarian Anastasia Kalinina.

What to do if the cat does not eat food?

Cats are picky, so food needs to be selected. It is better to buy a small package or ask for samples at the pet store. For example, during a promotion. Taking by weight, or mixing food from different companies is a bad idea.

 

From feed to feed is transferred within 5 – 7 days, gradually mixing new feed with the old one and increasing its amount.

What is the difference between wet food and dry food?

The main difference is the moisture content of the feed. If in dry it is no more than 10%, then in wet it reaches 80%. In addition, while dry food always comes in the form of crispy pieces, wet food can be pate, stew (meat pieces in sauce), or meat pieces in jelly.

How often should a cat be fed?

Cats eat little and often. Therefore, it is better that the food is freely available. The remains of food should be thrown away, and the bowl should be washed and wiped dry daily. Cats do not tolerate prolonged fasting very well – they have irreversible processes in the liver.
