How to Choose the Right Food for Your Cat

Cats Are Obligate Carnivores

Unlike dogs, cats require animal protein as their primary nutrition source. A good cat food should list meat (chicken, fish, beef) as the first ingredient.

Wet vs Dry Food

Wet food provides higher moisture content โ€” important for kidney health and urinary tract function. Dry food is convenient and promotes dental health. Many vets recommend a combination.

What to Avoid

Avoid foods with excessive fillers (corn, wheat, soy), artificial preservatives, and high carbohydrates. Never feed onions, garlic, chocolate, or grapes โ€” these are toxic to cats.
