Food for kittens and cats with sensitive digestion

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.

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.

Only natural ingredients are used as protein without chemical additives.

Manufacturers now offer a wide variety of specialized cat food. The most common type is dry food.

This dietary variety contains only hypoallergenic ingredients. They also contain vitamins, fatty acids and minerals necessary to maintain the health of the animal.

Dry food is a small pellet. They are produced by the action of high pressure and high temperatures. It is quite possible to make such a diet the basis of a cat's diet.

Compared to other types, dry food can be in the animal's bowl for a long time. However, its quality and nutritional value will not change.Therefore, such food is convenient for those owners who leave their pets at home alone for a long time. It is this type of food that helps cleanse plaque from the teeth of the animal.

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.
