Nowadays, there is a huge variety of different ready-made cat food. But at the same time, for animals with digestive problems, the appropriate option should be chosen more carefully. Today we will talk about the most popular types of feed that can be used in this case.
Peculiarities
Most often, digestive problems in cats are associated with an individual intolerance to a certain component contained in cat food. Gluten from corn or wheat is often used as such building blocks. In addition, the food may contain a significant amount of chemical additives that cause addiction and problems with the digestive system.
In such cases, specialized food is bought for kittens and adult cats. They are formulated to address digestive problems and food allergies in animals.
Natural ingredients are included in the composition of such feeds. At the same time, grain elements are completely absent.
Only natural ingredients are used as protein without chemical additives.

For the manufacture of dry specialized feed, manufacturers can use various types of fish, meat, vegetables and cereals. But water in such food is almost completely absent.
Another variety is liquid food. It is often mixed with dry. This type is made from frozen raw materials, which are sent for careful processing.
Industrial meat grinders grind the frozen product, and then process it under the influence of high temperatures, which avoids the entry of pathogens into the future feed.
On the processing line, raw materials are converted into a homogeneous mass. Vitamin and mineral supplements, vegetable oils are added to it. Then the mixture is divided into small pieces.
The feed sauce is made separately. At the end, it is mixed with prepared chopped pieces. After that, the food is sent for sterilization.
Today, liquid feeds are produced with different consistencies (thick with dense pieces, more liquid). You can also find a jelly-like mixture for cats in stores.

How to choose?
There are a few things to keep in mind when choosing food for cats with sensitive digestion. So, pay attention to the gluten content in the diet. After all, it is found in many veterinary feeds, and in some pets, this component can cause a strong allergic reaction.
Also, do not forget to take into account the meat content of the product. If it is less than 5%, then the feed may contain more cereals and various additives.
When choosing, carefully study the composition. In good diets, in addition to natural ingredients, mineral and vitamin supplements should be present. They contribute to the normal functioning of the animal's digestive system.
Remember that for a cat with sensitive digestion, masses with vegetables, oatmeal, and maize will be useful.They envelop the walls of the stomach, allowing food bits to be digested more easily in their bodies. Potatoes or egg white can also be a useful component.
