Cat Food FAQs

What type of cat food should I buy?

Several types of cat food are available, including dry food, wet, dehydrated, and raw food, each with their own pros and cons. When selecting the appropriate cat food, you should consider your cat's age, health, and preferences.

Is wet cat food better than dry?

Both wet and dry cat food have their advantages and disadvantages. Ultimately, the best option for your cat depends on their individual needs.

How often should I feed my cat?

Most adult cats should be fed twice a day to ensure good digestion and calorie distribution. When feeding high-calorie kitten food, you may be better off feeding small portions 3-4 times per day to provide consistent energy and nutrients for your growing kitten. The exact feeding schedule you choose will depend on your cat's age, weight, and activity level.

What ingredients are good in cat food?

Look for a type of cat food that contains high-quality sources of protein, such as chicken or fish, as well as essential vitamins and minerals. Avoid cat food with fillers or artificial preservatives.

Can I make my own cat food?

While it is possible to make your cat food at home, ensuring that your cat receives all the necessary nutrients can be challenging. It is best to consult with a veterinarian or animal nutritionist before attempting to make homemade cat food.

Can my cat be allergic to cat food?

Yes, cats can be allergic to certain ingredients in their food, such as grains, poultry, or fish. If you notice signs of an allergic reaction, such as itching or gastrointestinal upset, speak to your veterinarian about switching to a hypoallergenic cat food brand.

Many of the best cat food brands in Canada even offer human-grade ingredients, such as chicken, beef, or vegetables, to ensure your kitty receives the perfect diet for all life stages.

Remember, a cat's nutritional requirements change as they age. Kittens require more calories, protein, and essential nutrients for growth, so feeding a high-quality kitten food or an all-life stage diet is recommended for the first year. The extra nutrients in kitten food will help your kitten build muscle and give her the energy needed to stay active.

Senior cats may have specific dietary needs related to aging, such as joint support or reduced calorie intake to maintain healthy weight. Our senior cat foods offer high-quality nutrition to ensure optimal health as your feline pal reaches their advanced years.
