High quality cat food - this is how you really recognize it

Hochwertiges Katzenfutter – so erkennst du es wirklich

You love your velvet paw and want her only the the very best food. But how do you recognize actually high quality cat food? If you are asking yourself this question, we have the answers. Besides a high meat content, you should pay attention to other ingredients. We explain, how to feed your cat species-appropriate and natural.

What nutrients do cats need?

To keep your cat fit, vital and healthy throughout its life, it needs a combination of important nutrients. They get these from their food. What does a complete cat diet look like? A good diet consists of 50-60% high-quality protein as a source of energy. In addition, around 20-30% animal fats and 3-8% carbohydrates and fiber. Good to know: Although cats can only use carbohydrates to a limited extent, they should still appear in small quantities in cat food. This is because they also include fiber, which supports intestinal activity.

There are also vitamins and minerals, such as calcium for healthy bones. Cats need taurine for numerous processes in the body. Also vitamins A, D, E, the B vitamins as well as magnesium, iron, zinc, iodine and selenium.

How to recognize good cat food

High-quality cat food provides nutrients and energy in a perfect ratio. Very important: the high meat content. A good cat food contains at least 60% meat. This includes muscle meat and offal, i.e. heart, liver, lungs, spleen or even rumen. Fish is also easily digestible and provides important amino acids. Tip: Take a close look at the cat food. Can you clearly recognize the individual components? This is a sign of good quality. Also check the list of ingredients on the packaging. Is it very long and filled with unknown ingredients? Then you might find a better alternative for your cat.

And of course the cat must also accept the food. Our Pussy Deluxe88 % RIND PUR with buckwheat, egg yolk & krill oil is just right. Pure meat in pieces with lots of jelly tastes natural to your tiger.

Remember: Because cats absorb liquid mainly through food, wet food is preferable to dry food.

What doesn't belong in cat food?

Plant-based ingredients do not play an important role in cat food. Cats are pure carnivores and excrete the vegetable components of their food undigested. Corn, soy or wheat are also not a good idea in cat food. Digestive problems, food allergies or damage to the liver and kidneys could be the result.

What other ingredients should not be in cat food? Sugar and additives, such as preservatives or colorants and attractants, do not belong in the bowl. If the list of ingredients includes yeast extract, it contains the flavor enhancer glutamate.
