A guide to choosing dry cat food
Lost in the range of cat food on offer? We'll help you work out where to start, what to look for, and which cats will prefer a shrimp flavour and which might go for pheasant instead.
1) Age matters
The first step in choosing the right dry food is narrowing down the options by age. Kittens need more calories for proper development, along with the right vitamins, and their kibble is often shaped and sized specifically for them. From around age 1 to 7, choose food for adult cats. It's a good idea to vary the protein source in the food from time to time to help prevent food allergies from developing. So offer your cat rabbit one time and perhaps a quail flavour the next. Senior cats tend to gain weight, so they need lower-calorie food. They're also more likely to be dealing with health issues, so their food can be formulated to support things like joints or teeth.
2) Don't underestimate quality
Don't be swayed by advertising or eye-catching packaging. You can spot good-quality food by studying its ingredients list carefully. Ingredients are listed on the pack in descending order, starting with whatever makes up the largest proportion. Meat should, of course, come first.
It also helps to know the difference between premium, super-premium and holistic food. Premium food offers a good balance of quality and price, while super-premium sits a notch higher and usually contains more meat. Holistic, or complete, food is currently all the rage. It contains no grains or other filler ingredients used purely to bulk out the meal. It serves up only what cats actually need – above all, plenty of meat (including less common types, such as duck or reindeer), plus vegetables, fruit or herbs.
3) Flavour isn't just about taste
The flavour you choose doesn't just affect how enthusiastically your cat licks the bowl clean. Each type of meat has a different composition, which makes it suited to different cats.
The meat most commonly used in dry cat food is poultry, particularly chicken, which is low in fat and easy to digest. Turkey is similar in this respect.
Beef-flavoured food is a popular choice. Beef is notable for its high iron, amino acid and unsaturated fatty acid content. If you've taken in an underweight cat, food containing pork, which has a higher fat content, can be a good option.
Food flavoured with game, including options like wild boar, is high in protein and low in fat. It's also popular among cats with allergies.
You're guaranteed to win your cat over with a fish-flavoured food. Cats love the smell, it's high in protein and easy to digest – just keep an eye on the fat content, as this varies depending on the type of fish used. Sea fish tend to be fattier, salmon being a good example.
4) Consider health and lifestyle too
Your four-legged friend's health and lifestyle should also play an important role in your choice. An outdoor cat has different needs to a cat living indoors with limited opportunities to exercise. If weight needs to be managed, a lighter food such as chicken is a good fit. Many pets also struggle with various allergies, which calls for a suitable type of food (popular choices here include lamb or food with insect protein). Special formulas are also made for neutered cats and for pregnant or nursing cats.
