Cat foods and treats
You can’t talk about animal food without mentioning cats. Cats are not just pets, they’re family members and we all want to take care of them the best way possible! That’s why it’s important to know what you’re feeding your cat. Do you know which types of cat foods are out there? In this blog post, we answer some common questions including what good cat food is, how much it costs, and how you will know the correct food for your pet.
Cat foods come in different textures and flavors, from wet food to dry kibble. Wet cat food is usually canned or pouched, while dry cat food can be either “wet” (pouches) or dried out until crunchy. Treats are also available for purchase at pet stores as well which your feline friend may love! Some examples of treats include rawhide chews, biscuits that contain omega fatty acids, or even freeze-dried meat with a poultry flavor.
Difference between natural and processed
Processed foods typically have more preservatives added than natural ones do because they’re less shelf-stable. Processed foods will stay fresh longer if not opened whereas natural diets tend to spoil quicker.
Processed foods are typically more expensive. Prices can range from ₦123 to over ₦6,000 per pound!
Some processed cat foods have meat by-products as the main ingredient, which is bad for your feline friend because it’s full of fillers and additives that they don’t need in their diet. In contrast, natural diets provide much more protein daily so you won’t see any filler ingredients listed such as corn or soybean meal! It also has fewer preservatives since this type of food spoils faster when left out at room temperature than dry kibble does.
Why you should be careful about your cat food
Being careful about your cat’s food will help prevent many troubles in the future. Dry kibble is not a complete diet so it needs to be combined with wet food, which has more moisture. Cats also need taurine and arginine for eye health and polyunsaturated fatty acids in their diets for heart health. If you want your cat to live long into old age without any serious diseases or conditions, this should be an important consideration when choosing what type of food they eat!
How cat food is made
The first step in the process of making cat food is harvesting. This includes grinding raw meat, cooking, and mixing it with vegetables or fruits for wet foods. Dry kibble goes through a long list of ingredients to become what you can buy at stores and feed your cats!
The required nutrients in good cat food
The basic requirements for cats’ nutritional needs include protein, fat, vitamins, and minerals which they can get from their food if it’s well-balanced. Protein provides amino acids that help with muscle growth and tissue repair as well as hairballs by giving your furry friend some roughage to chew on! Fat is important because it helps keep them warm alongside vitamin D so be sure to use a healthy oil or butter when making homemade treats for your kitty; this will also give you more time before spoilage happens (because these ingredients go rancid quickly). There’s not much point in feeding any kind of supplement if they’re getting all of their essential dietary information from their food, but if you’re feeding wet or dry foods then there are certain supplements that can be added to ensure your pet is getting all of the vitamins and minerals they need.
It’s important to make sure that a cat has access to clean water at all times! Cats get most of their fluids from the moisture in their diet so it’s best not to give them any other kind of liquid besides water (or milk). This helps keep cats hydrated as well as protects against kidney disease and diabetes, both of which will come on gradually by drinking too much sugar-laden liquids.
What is the average cost of cat food?
The average cost of cat food ranges from about ₦246 to ₦330 per day for a single animal, or up to ₦165,000 per year if you have two cats that eat the same diet.
How do I know the correct food to feed my cat?
You should consult with your veterinarian when it comes time to choose what type and brand of cat food are best suited for your pet’s needs! Your vet will be able to advise on any possible allergies in addition to making sure they’re getting all essential nutrients needed by their body and mind.
Dangers of feeding your cat the wrong food
Your pet can develop hairball issues which cause them pain as well as discomfort while eating, so it’s important to choose the right food for your cat. It can also lead to obesity and cause other illnesses if they’re eating something that their body isn’t designed for.
