Wet or Dry food?
Which is the best choice for your cat?
Cats
are lovely and fascinating creatures and selection of best food for your cat is
most challenging now-a-days due to availability of variety of cat foods in
market. The essential requirement is that whichever food you give to your cat
it should be nutritious. Cats have their own preferences, choices and
nutritional needs. So, selection of best food for your cat mostly depends on
the following factors:
1.
Cat’s mood and interest that which food prefers your cat the most.
2.
Cat’s age (kitten, adult, and senior), size and body condition (overweight or
underweight).
3.
Cats health conditions whether it has any disease or not.
4.
Your budget i.e.; which food you can afford easily.
Cats
are carnivores and their protein requirements are exactly the same as humans
and others omnivores do. Proteins, fats and carbohydrates must be in proper
proportion in your cat food. A variety of pet foods are available in market
now, and for the convenience of pet owners these pet food are available into
three categories; grocery store food, premium food, healthy food.
1.Grocery
store food is usually cheaper and don not provide your cat the nutrient
rich ingredients and healthiest food. These are available on grocery stores.
But my suggestion is that you should avoid giving your cat these types of foods.
2.Premium food is
another one, this is rich in nutrients but also contain some artificial flavors
and colors .you can get this food from any grocery stores, veterinarian office
or markets. Although these contain high quality ingredients but are expensive
as compared to grocery store food.
3.Healthiest food is
third one, and in true sense these are high quality healthiest and rich in
nutrients. This is formulated to meet all the necessary requirements of your
cat food. And real meat, fish, rice, barley etc are used in this formula to
make it healthy food. Although it is much expensive but it makes your cat
healthy and active.
Now
if we discuss that whether wet, dry or raw food is best for cat, then it
totally depends on your cat, that which type of food your cat likes the most.
Some cats like dry food, some wet food, others like raw food and some like the
mixture of both wet and dry food. I think wet food is the best choice for your
cats because it also provides the necessary water requirements to cat. Dry cat food
contains very less amount of water and it may causes dehydration and many other
problems. So be careful while the selection of your cat food. When you go to
market to purchase cat food, list of ingredients on the back side of packet can
be very helpful for you. Products that do not use the words “100% nutritious”
or “Complete and Balanced diet” can only be used as supplements and only the
former can fulfill your cat’s needs.
So,
make a wise decision while selection of your cat’s food because it will make
your cat healthy, active and full of life. And when you are sure that your cat
food is a best selection ever, then also check your cat’s healthy after every month.
Shiny bright eyes, strong fur and healthy energy level will make sure you that
you have selected the best cat food.
