How to choose your cat’s food? Choosing the best food for your cat is essential to ensure its health and well-being. Here are some important points to consider:
1. Type of Feed
Super Premium ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ → Best option! Made with high quality ingredients, rich in proteins and without dyes.
Premium ⭐⭐⭐⭐ → Good alternative, has higher quality than common foods, but may contain some by-products.
Standard (Common) ⭐⭐ → Cheaper option, but usually has fewer essential nutrients and more additives.
2. Important Ingredients:
Animal protein as the first ingredient (chicken, fish, beef).
Low carb (avoid excess corn, wheat and soy).
Taurine (essential for cat heart and eye health).
Fatty acids (Omega 3 and 6) (important for healthy skin and hair).
3. What to Avoid?
❌ Artificial colors and preservatives.
❌ Animal by-product flours without specification.
❌ Excess grains such as corn and wheat (cats are carnivores and need more protein).
4. Dry or Wet Food?
Dry food: More practical, helps clean teeth, but has little water.
Wet food (sachet or can): More hydrating, great for cats that drink little water.
The ideal is to combine both types for a balanced diet.
5. Age and Special Needs:
Puppies (up to 12 months) → They need specific food for growth.
Adults (1 to 7 years) → Balanced food to maintain health.
Seniors (+7 years) → Food with fewer calories and ingredients for joints.
Neutered cats → Options with weight control and minerals to avoid urinary problems.
Health problems → Consult a veterinarian for special foods (renal, urinary, hypoallergenic, etc.).
6. How to Choose the Best Brand?
✅ Read the label and look at the ingredients.
✅ Choose trusted and well-reviewed brands.
✅ Choose Super Premium or Premium foods.
✅ Consult your veterinarian before changing food.
