• A cat’s health depends on how well it eats. This can be determined by their life stage, activity level, digestive health and overall well-being. It’s also important to consider their dietary needs.
• Ideally, a pet owner should choose a food that meets the nutritional adequacy statement. This can be found on the packaging of many pet foods and is a sign that it has been designed to provide the nutrients your cat needs at their current life stage, whether it’s growth (kittens), maintenance or seniorhood.
• Regardless of your preferred food, the most important thing is to ensure your pet’s diet meets their nutritional needs. That’s why it’s important to look at the ingredients on the back of your cat’s food. Look for a ‘complete and balanced’ statement on the label, as well as a guaranteed analysis of protein and fat content. It’s also important to make sure the food you’re feeding your cat is appropriate for their life stage (i.e. kitten, adult or senior).
• While there is no one-size-fits-all answer, some veterinarians recommend specific brands of cat foods, including Hill’s Science Diet, Royal Canin and Purina Pro Plan. These are all considered high-quality brands, and their foods include a range of ingredients to meet your pet’s specific health needs.
• Cats are obligate carnivores and need to get their nutrients from animal sources, such as meat, fish, eggs or milk. They should be getting 60-70% of their calories from these sources, and no more than 5% from carbohydrates. Carbohydrates in the form of grains, vegetables or legumes are not healthy for cats and should be avoided. It is not uncommon for cats to be finicky eaters and will refuse any food they haven’t been fed as a kitten, but this is typical because they have a form of food neophobia, which is thought to be a survival mechanism to prevent them from eating tainted foods in the wild. Changing your cat’s diet slowly, over a while, can help them overcome this.
• The main cause of health problems in pet cats today is obesity, which is related to a poor-quality diet. Many vets are unaware of this and still recommend dry kibble-based foods, and the rate of obesity is rising fast.
• When choosing cat food, it’s important to read the labels and avoid those with fillers or artificial flavours and colours. These can be harmful to your pet, as sulfites can lead to thiamine deficiency and synthetic colourants are linked to liver disease in cats.
• It’s also a good idea to vary your cat’s diet as much as possible, as this will keep their meals exciting and interesting. It’s also a good way to introduce them to new foods, which could help them become less picky in later life.
• The key to great quality cat food is variety and consistency, and avoiding cheap kibble. By feeding your pet a wholesome diet, you can help them live longer, happier and healthier lives.
