Premium wet cat foods: ingredients, brands, choices

Today it is wet cat foods, especially premium ones, that are considered the best food option for pets. Such feeds have a convenient dosage, optimal consistency and, most importantly, the most natural composition. This food option is suitable for animals of all ages and breeds. In order not to make a mistake in choosing and purchasing a truly balanced feed of the highest quality, we will study the rating of the best brands, customer reviews, as well as the features of each specific product.

Liquid cat food has some features. When it comes to premium mixes, the main feature is the consistency and ingredients. Wet food is most preferred for domestic cats. And although many owners of these animals believe that it is better to choose dry mixes, veterinarians do not agree with them. According to experts, the consistency of such mixtures, especially with pieces of jelly or meat, is most preferable for pets.

In addition, their composition is carefully controlled and is completely natural. They do not contain additives such as artificial colors, preservatives or flavorings.

The main components of wet feed composition are:

• meat;
• bird;
• offal;
• slices of vegetables;
• mineral supplements and vitamin complexes;

Some manufacturers also include cereals in small quantities in their products.

Like any other feed, wet has its drawbacks. The following points can be singled out as the main ones.

• The mass fraction of each ingredient is approximate. In some cases, this is not enough, especially when it comes to the nutrition of a large animal, in which the diet should be fully balanced in the exact ratio, and not approximately.
• The food is soft, which means it does not help the animal prevent the appearance of tartar. Therefore, the owner of the animal must take care of the additional protection of the oral cavity of his pet.
• Experts say that the composition of the products of some brands is too high in vegetable protein and low in animal. This means that in order to receive a daily dose of all the necessary substances, the cat will have to eat a portion of a larger volume than recommended.

If we talk about the advantages of such a ready-made balanced diet, then there are much more of them and they are more significant than its disadvantages.

• Affordable cost. The price of premium feeds is not too high and almost every owner of a cat or cat has the opportunity to purchase it, and given the economical dosed consumption of feed, such food is also beneficial.
• Balanced and safe composition. There is no need to give your pet any additional vitamin or mineral supplements. And do not have to worry about the safety of the composition of such a liquid feed.
• High content of meat and, therefore, the necessary protein. Compared to analogues of a more affordable price category, premium feeds are more meaty and satisfying for cats.
• Many manufacturers produce entire lines of liquid feed intended for a certain category of animals. That is, their products are presented on the market in a wide range.

This product is today presented in a wide range, which can be divided into several groups.

By this criterion, all wet premium feeds are divided into two large groups.

• Available in cans. These types of food for cats are also classified as liquid, since the percentage of moisture in them is 50-70% of the total mass. Such canned foods are intended for single meals - 1 can for one meal.

• Available in soft packs. As a rule, such a feed has a budget value, and its consistency is thinner than in the first embodiment. On the shelves you can find packs intended for one and several feeding, but veterinarians advise choosing the first option.

There is no significant difference between the two species, except for the density and consistency of their contents. In the first case, the food is more pressed, but the second is soft, as if spreading, with solid particles of food. Which one to choose, each pet owner decides for himself.

Today, some manufacturers produce a whole line of wet food for premium cats, designed for animals of a certain age category and for specific purposes. Most often on the shelves of shops you can see the following feed:

• kitten food for daily feeding;

• standard food for adult cats;

• diet food for pets prone to excess weight;

• food for sterilized animals;

• food for cats over 7 years old;

• food intended for pets with short or long hair;

• therapeutic liquid feed for the prevention of gastrointestinal diseases;

• feed for better cleansing of tartar;

• hypoallergenic wet nutrition.

Not every manufacturer in the product line has all of the above varieties of liquid premium food. Some companies have only 3 such items:

• for kittens;

• for ordinary animals;

• for sterilized cats.

Before buying, you should carefully study the product packaging, since it is on it that the manufacturer indicates information regarding how often a cat can be fed with this particular product. On this basis, all premium wet feeds are divided into two large groups.

• Intended for daily feeding a pet. In such products, the composition is perfectly balanced, as is the consistency. Upon receipt of such nutrition there is no need to search for additional sources of useful substances.

• Wet food as a treat. This food option, even for many experienced breeders, is new. Such products have a unique composition and it is not recommended to feed a cat with such food every day, but giving it 1-2 times a week as a treat for a change is quite acceptable.
