Choosing the highest quality cat food

In recent years, ready-made cat food has become a particularly relevant food for pets. They are not only balanced and very nutritious, but also quite economical, because the owners do not waste time preparing them for their pets. In this article, we will take a closer look at the highest quality cat food, their classification, expensive and budget options, and also get acquainted with the reviews of veterinarians and owners.

Sooner or later, every pet owner begins to think about what is the best way to feed his cats and cats. And the choice is usually between prepared food (dry and wet) and self-prepared food. Ready-made options have a number of undeniable advantages.

• Balance. Such food contains everything that animals need at a given age, namely meat and vegetables in the right dosage, vitamins and minerals.
• Ready feed no need to cook, which significantly saves time.
• Quality dry and wet food can be very helpful for cats. In addition to a variety of flavors, they can help normalize digestion and prevent various diseases in animals. Diet feeds are considered especially relevant, as they are prevention in the fight against excess weight and in the fight against urolithiasis. It recurs especially frequently in spayed and neutered animals.
• Dry food is believed to be more beneficial. However, this is quite contradictory, because if you buy premium feed, then the price of dry products is no cheaper than natural meat, which is prepared by animals on their own.
• Dry balanced foods gently clean the teeth of animals, and therefore serve as an excellent prevention of caries.

The disadvantages include the fact that there is very little moisture in budget feeds, and this negatively affects the health of animals. It is also believed that not all food gently cleanses the teeth, rather, on the contrary, as a result of their use, tartar and caries are formed.

All ready-made feeds are divided into several classes:

• economy;
• premium;
• super premium;
• holistics;
• natural food (ultra-premium).

The most popular are budget options for feed and premium. This is connected, of course, with an affordable price. Super-premium options are considered more expensive, while holistic options are considered the most sophisticated for felines. Usually, Holisticians receive the best reviews from veterinarians and felinologistsas they are considered to be as natural and balanced as possible, and also non-addictive in animals.

The greatest demand in our country for economy class feed. This is due to their very affordable price and active advertising, but at the same time their composition leaves much to be desired, because almost all of them are made not from meat, but from meat waste. Cats "love" them for their excellent aroma and taste, but these are just additives and flavorings.

The top inexpensive feed includes the following brands:

• Whiskas;
• Darling;
• "Our Mark";
• Felix;
• Purina One;
• Perfect Fit;
• Kitikat;
• Sheba and some others.

Consider a comparative table of economy class feeds.

Not all of the foods listed are low-grade - many are fine for feeding animals.

There is also a great demand for premium feed. Usually, they have 20-25% more meat than the economy class options, so they are better suited for feeding animals. Premium brands include the following:

• Purina's Pro Plan
• Hill's;
• Happy Cat;
• Sheba;
• Royal Canin.

All of the above brands have an increased content of cereals and vegetable proteins, as well as the number of allergens. But at the same time, the range presented is very diverse: you can buy canned food in cans, and packaged varieties, and dry food. Moreover, the options for possible tastes are also countless: this is chicken, and fish, and turkey, and beef, and much, much more.

Super premium options even better in quality than economy and premium products. They contain more natural meat and very few offal.

• Leonardo. It is considered one of the best super-premium options, which not only has a natural and balanced composition, but is also available for purchase at very competitive prices.
• Applaws. British brand. With a high meat content and a huge variety of flavors, this species will appeal to many gourmet cats. Its disadvantages include only the high price and not quite balanced composition, according to some veterinarians.
• Bozita. Quite good European meat feed, which does not contain dyes and offal, but contains useful vitamins and minerals. Moreover, it is quite expensive and contains possible allergens.

And also Bosch, Organix, Pronature Original, Gina, Arden Grange, 1st Choice and others.

Some of the high-meat options can be detrimental to the health of animals with gastrointestinal problems. It is recommended to discuss this point with your veterinarian when choosing the appropriate feed. All these brands have a natural composition compared to the previous versions, while they are enriched with vitamins and minerals in the right ratio.

Holistic are considered premium feed of the new generation. Manufacturers do not save on their composition, while using only high-quality products.

• Almo Nature. The best and most useful rulers should be sought from this particular brand.
• Innova Evo. It contains only the best sorts of meat, there are no allergens, and the protein is only of natural origin. This option is not recommended for neutered and neutered animals due to its high protein content.
• Grandorf. European food with natural meat, vitamins and minerals.

The question of which of the options is the best is easy to answer. Choosing food for your pets follows from super-premium and holistic foods. Only they can have a positive effect on the health of the animal. Budget options can only temporarily quench the thirst for hunger, while most of them can harm the health of cats and cats.

When choosing a feed, it is very important to take into account not only its price component, but also its composition. As a permanent diet for adults, and even more so for baby kittens, it is highly discouraged to choose budget food.

Summing up, it should be noted that, despite the brand belonging to one or another class, this does not mean at all that it is suitable for the animal, because some components from the composition of even the most expensive food can cause intolerance or allergies in a cat or cat. Therefore, sometimes food must be selected through trial and error.

Moreover, very often food has to be selected based on certain characteristics of the animal. For example, for neutered or neutered pets, exclusively specialized dietary foods with a moderate protein content are recommended. There are also options for animals that have gastrointestinal disorders.
