Cats need different things at different stages in life. These tips will help you choose the right type of food, regardless of your cat´s specific needs.
Things to Consider:
Dietary Benefits – While it may seem economically smart to buy less expensive cat food, studies have shown that cats will eat as much as they need to in order to get their necessary nutrients. Buying a cheap cat food could become more expensive, because your cat may end up eating nearly twice as much.
Amount of Fillers – Though things like rice and corn are often used as fillers in cat food, cats don´t actually need carbohydrates. You need to be sure to read the labels before you buy and select a cat food with the least amount of these fillers.
High in Meat/Protein – You need to be sure the food you buy has some meat listed as one of the first ingredients. Cats cannot live healthy lives on vegetarian diets.
