Rating of cat food - dry and wet (2014). Best cat food

Natural products are ideal for feeding cats, but there are times when there is no opportunity to buy and prepare a full portion every day. Pets need constant support of the balance of nutrient microcomponents. Therefore, specialized additives and canned food come to the rescue. Choose a suitable option will help rating cat food. It is worthwhile to distinguish between dry and wet additives.

Feed selection rules

A pet is recommended to give the same food with which he began to replenish his diet. Before this, you should identify the cat's preferences, be it meat, fish or poultry.

The type of food is also of great importance. Many owners make the mistake of believing that wet concentrates will be a better option for their pet than dry ones. Each animal in this sense has its own preferences. According to statistics, 40 percent of cats do not tolerate canned food.
The composition of the food should include at least dehydrated meat, rather than concentrated flour. It is worth remembering that potatoes and beans are digested in the body of cats worse than other cereals and even corn. On the other hand, chickpeas and lentils practically do not cause allergies in animals, which can not be said for wheat or buckwheat.

For cats with a light color, it is better to pick up dry food without colored vegetables, like beets, carrots, tomatoes. It is also not recommended to have algae in the product. Cheap feeds may contain various flavors and preservatives harmful to the animal. In addition, it is not recommended to purchase herbal supplements, since they have a disastrous effect on the urinary and intestinal systems.

When choosing food, it is important to pay attention to age restrictions (for kittens, for adults 1-5 years, 5-10 years, etc.). To introduce a new concentrate is only mixed with the old one. Gradually the dose rises to a full portion.
