What ingredients should I look for in cat food?

Look for wholesome, healthy ingredients in cat food like real meat, poultry, and/or fish and a minimum of fillers and artificial ingredients. The amino acid taurine is essential for feline health, and most cat foods have some vitamins and minerals added for a complete and balanced diet. Cat foods with grain are okay for kitties as long as they aren’t too high in carbohydrates, but many premium foods are grain-free or use whole grains instead of wheat or corn. Your vet can provide added guidance if you’re unsure which ingredients might be best for your cat.

How do I choose the right food for my cat?

Choose the right food for your cat by taking things like your cat’s age, lifestyle, and specific health needs into account. Your cat may have specific preferences, like wet food over dry food or seafood flavors over chicken, beef, or turkey. Your vet can also guide you in choosing foods tailored to your cat’s specific needs, recommend trusted brands, or tell you what to look for in a cat food formula.

What types of cat food do vets recommend?

Vets recommend a variety of cat foods. What’s best for your kitty will vary based on her specific circumstances, but most vets recommend a complete and balanced, high-quality cat food diet that’s high in real meat protein and lower in carbs. Many vets also prefer wet cat food to dry food, or recommend a mix of the two to ensure healthy hydration. Of course, the best way to know what foods your vet recommends is to visit regularly and ask for tailored dietary guidance.

How long does cat food last?

Cat food lasts until the date of expiration printed on the package, as long as it is unopened and properly stored. Once opened, dry cat food should be used within two to three months, while wet cat food should be refrigerated and eaten within three to five days. For other foods like raw, freeze-dried, fresh, and frozen cat foods, consult the product label for proper storage and serving guidelines. You can leave dried food out for your cat for days without worry, but don’t leave wet food out for more than 30 minutes to an hour.
