Cat food should be balanced. This is difficult to achieve if you feed your pet only food from your table. In addition, many dishes are not suitable for a cat at all, for example, salty, fried, fatty. But ready-made food is far from harmless for the cat's body.
Instructions
Step 1
One of the most striking indicators of product quality in this case is the price. The cheaper the feed, the more chemicals and flavor enhancers it contains. They cause the appearance of urolithiasis in cats, problems with digestion and excretion of toxins, cause severe shedding and contribute to the rejection of any other food. Experts do not recommend constantly giving the cat those canned food and dry food, which often appear in commercials.
Step 2
Do not buy food that has offal and not meat on the label. Often, the feed contains harmless, but at the same time, substances that do not bring any benefit. They serve to make food seem more satisfying. Have you ever noticed that your cat chews dry food very often? The fact is that these fillers give a short-term feeling of satiety. Therefore, the cat again and again runs to the trough, despite the fact that her stomach is still full.
Step 3
Manufacturers often add various artificial antioxidants and BWG additives to finished feeds. They can cause an allergic reaction. Do not regularly buy your pet food that contains propylene glycol (food additive E1520). The constant use of products with this additive can lead to the development of diseases. There are no such additives in VIP-class products. Perhaps that is why a cat may refuse expensive but balanced food made without flavor enhancers.
Step 4
Monitor your pet's behavior, stool, and general health. Use dry food as an alternative to homemade food, but do not mix both in the same bowl. Do not buy dry food in bulk from an open bag. Supplemented foods tend to have a strong odor and shape. Premium food does not smell so much, but it gives a real, not an illusory feeling of satiety. See your veterinarian for a balanced meal plan for your pet.
