Canned Cat Food Review

Nowadays, the shelves of specialized stores are replete with a large selection of cat food. As a rule, such food is not just nutritious, it is also enriched with a number of vitamins and microelements necessary for the normal life of the animal. Every caring pet owner should study the modern cat food market in order to know what to feed their pet.

It is worth noting that the cat’s daily menu should include dry food and canned food. It should be borne in mind that there are certain rules that must be followed every time you go to the store for food.

Despite the large number of attractive advertisements, quality food is not so easy to find. It is not necessary to test different foods on your pet, this can undermine his health and disrupt the gastrointestinal tract. It is best to choose a proven manufacturer’s brand recommended by experienced breeders.

After the choice is made in favor of one or another canned food, you need to carefully read the rules for its storage. As a general rule, an opened food tin should be stored in the refrigerator for no more than two to three days. There are canned foods that, even in their entirety, can deteriorate if they are kept at room temperature for only a couple of hours. In any case, read the label carefully before you carelessly leave the purchased food on the table. It is important to understand that ignoring such simple rules can cause pet poisoning.

If the animal’s diet consists of dry and canned food, choose the same manufacturer’s brand. Thus, you will provide your pet with a balanced diet, enriched with essential vitamins and minerals.

However, the main thing here is not to overdo it, experts recommend not giving both dry and canned food at the same time, since the digestion of each of these types of food takes place in different ways.

Another important point is the dosage. Again, for this you need to carefully study the label, which indicates the portions needed for the animal. If you do not follow the dosage, you can provoke obesity or malnutrition in the animal.

And finally, before you buy food, do not forget to look at the expiration date.

If you really care about the health of your pet, before choosing any food, consult a veterinarian to be sure not only of the quality of the purchased product, but also that your pet will not suffer from the hands of unscrupulous manufacturers.

Canned food must also meet certain standards. There are several indicators that you need to pay attention to first of all: the mass fraction of crude protein per 100 grams of product should be 10-12%. Also pay attention to the presence of cereals, their proportion should be minimal, or absent altogether. Dyes, preservatives and soy are the first enemies for your pet’s health, so make sure that they are not in canned food.

It is also worth noting that canned food is approximately 80% liquid, which means that a cat eating wet food consumes less water. Therefore, if you transferred your pet to canned food, do not worry that he began to drink little.

Before making the final choice of food, it is advisable to compare several manufacturers on the market and, according to the results, choose the product that will meet all the standards and requirements. But first, you need to familiarize yourself with these rules.

The composition of canned food for cats must necessarily include the following components: minerals, liver, organ meats, at least 25% beef, vitamins A, D3, E. As for nutrients, these are: 15% crude protein, 3% crude ash, about 7% fat, 0,2% taurine, 0,5% fiber and 80% water. In no case should the composition contain harmful and synthetic components, in the form of dyes, preservatives, soy.

But, unfortunately, as with all other products, so with cat food, the same pattern takes place: when any new product appears on the market, in this case, a new cat food, its quality exceeds all expectations. But over time, the quality deteriorates, and you have to again beat the thresholds of specialized stores in search of quality products.

Among the best brands that currently offer their products in the form of canned food are Hill`s, Leonardo, Sheba, Iams. Foreign manufacturers are really trustworthy, as their product is fully certified, and their products do not pose any danger to the health of cats.

You can also pay attention to the products of a domestic manufacturer, which guarantees a quality product for four-legged friends. Among such suppliers are the following trademarks: Maks`s, Four-legged gourmet, Vaska, Zoogurman.

Even more attention should be paid to the so-called “black list” of manufacturers, whose products are better not to choose in order to protect your pet from all sorts of health problems. So remember: KiteKat, Darling, Friskies, Gourmet, Whiskas, Katinka, Dr. Clauder’s, Dr. Alder`s, Edel Cat, Oscar, MonAmi.

In any case, the composition of the right canned food should include the MacroGard immunostimulant, thanks to which the animal’s body becomes strong and able to resist various diseases.

And in order for your pet to get a really balanced and nutritious diet, do not limit his diet only to canned food and dry food, make sure that a variety of products are included in the daily menu of the animal: meat, fish, dairy products, valuable cereals, vegetables and even fruits . Study and consider the taste preferences of your pet.

And most importantly, remember that we are responsible for those we have tamed. A healthy and prosperous life of animals depends on their owners, and proper and balanced nutrition is one of the most important factors affecting the life of a pet.
