The main thing is to make sure that the food packaging says that the food is “balanced” or “complete”.

In the inexpensive category, the best known are Kitekat, Friskies, Whiskas and Felix. At the same time, Whiskas offers an expanded line of wet foods: jellies, cream soups, pieces in stews, mini fillets and pates. In the premium and super-premium segment, you can find food that suits not only the age, but also the lifestyle of the pet, its breed and even the characteristics of the digestive system.
