Cat food is a staple of your cat's daily diet and is the most important thing for your cat. There are many different kinds of cat food, so how do we choose cat food for our cats? You can start from these 5 aspects!

1. Observe the surface of the cat food

Look: A good cat food, the grains are intact, the size is uniform, and the surface is rough and there are traces of meat fiber.

Smell: Good quality cat food usually has a slight meaty smell.

Taste: You can also judge whether the cat food is salty or not by the way you taste it. If the cat eats too much salt, it is prone to problems such as black chin and long lumpy, so you should choose the light taste.

Touch: grab a hand on the heart, see the cat food oil is not greasy, if too greasy, do not choose!

A good cat food is no oil, no fishy, no salty, no additive taste.


2.Cat food formula table
The top of the list of good cat food recipes must indicate the amount of protein (chicken, beef, fish, etc.). The higher the number, the higher the number. Cats need to get enough animal protein daily, so choose a diet high in meat to meet their nutritional needs.


3. Look at the data in the cat food ingredient list
① Crude protein: between 37% and 40%, cats can only meet their growth and development needs with a certain daily intake of animal protein. This range is appropriate, too low will cause malnutrition, while too high will cause pancreatic problems.

②crude fat: 14%-20%, too little easy constipation, too much easy soft, obesity.

③crude fiber: between 1%-8%, higher than 8% is the best not to choose. However, it also needs certain crude fiber, which can promote the peristalsis of the cat's stomach and intestines, facilitate the discharge of hairballs and improve constipation.

④water-soluble chloride: about 0.3%, to meet the daily salt needs of cats, but not too salty, leading to tears, black chin, hair loss and other problems.

⑤ Taurine: between 0.2% and 0.25%, the cat itself can not synthesize taurine, so it is best to have taurine in the cat food, otherwise it will affect the cat's vision.

⑥mineral content (mainly calcium, phosphorus) : at about 1%, the cat needs to supplement a certain amount of minerals, nutrition will be balanced, when too high is easy to affect bone development.


4.Look at palatability
After all, cat food is what cats eat every day. In addition to ensuring adequate nutrition, it is even better to satisfy their taste buds. Pet owners can choose a cat food that uses fresh meat crushing and drying methods to retain the natural meat flavor. Not only rich in animal protein, nutrition is guaranteed, but also picky cats love to eat.

5. After eating
The best way to buy cat food is to buy those that come with a tasting pack so that the cat can try them first and return them if they don't. With a good food, your cat's poop tends to be granulated and striped, dark brown in color, and not overly flavorful. After cats eat bad cat food, their feces are sticky, smelly, and shapeless.

What brand of cat food is good?
The more expensive the better. The best cat food is the one that suits your cat. According to the above five methods, you can usually pick the right cat food.

To sum up, it is recommended that "natural cat food is not tired of cravings", which is a cat food with fresh chicken, sea fish and beef as the main source of protein.
