Your cat’s health and well-being start with a balanced diet, but not all cat foods are created equal. Some commercially available options can be harmful, leading to long-term health issues.
Cats are obligate carnivores and thrive on a protein-rich diet. Avoid foods high in carbohydrates as they can lead to obesity and diabetes.
Look out for foods with artificial colours, flavours, and preservatives. These additives can cause allergic reactions and digestive problems.
Cats don’t need grains like corn, wheat, or soy, which are common fillers. These can cause food allergies and digestive issues.
Foods with vague labels like meat by-products"often contain low-quality ingredients that provide poor nutrition.
While fish can be part of a balanced diet, too much can lead to mercury poisoning and thiamine deficiency.
