For owners of cats and cats who are truly attached to their pets, it is very important to responsibly approach the issue of feeding the animal. You can feed your cat with natural products or choose from the assortment of ready-made foods presented in the pet store, which are divided into economy, medium or premium class. Of course, it is preferable to use one of the premium feeds, but how can you choose the best from several of its names?
Instructions
Step 1
Before purchasing food for your pet, read the list of ingredients it contains. Premium foods are considered ideal food for domestic cats because they do not contain any useless (and often harmful) chemicals in their composition. They consist mostly of natural, lean meat, which contains all the proteins and amino acids that a cat needs. In the composition printed on the package with feed, in the first place is the component, the percentage of which prevails in the product, and then in descending order.
If grain components predominate in the composition of cat food, then this indicates that it belongs to the economy class, no matter how the manufacturer calls it in its advertising campaign. Cereals do not bring any benefit to the feline organism; they can only "clog" the stomach of the animal, creating the illusion of satiety. But grain products are much cheaper than meat, especially of high quality, therefore, using them as the main component in the composition of feed allows you to reduce the cost of the finished product.
Step 2
After determining which of the outlets in the range, which are located in your locality, are premium food and will bring tangible benefits to your pet, think about how much you are willing to spend on cat food every month. The cost of feed is one of its important characteristics, but you should not be confused by its higher cost compared to economy class feed. The fact is that premium cat food is absorbed much better than its cheaper varieties, as a result of which the same animal requires significantly less high-quality food than an economy-class product.
Step 3
When you finally decide on a brand of food that suits your pet in terms of composition and the purchase of which does not make a dent in your budget, first purchase a small package of it. Only after making sure that your pet eats this food with appetite, looks healthy and vigorous, and his digestive system copes with such a diet “perfectly”, you can buy a premium cat food “with a margin” that is suitable for you, that is - in large packages.
