What to eat our cat?  

Today, a lot of people know about the "right" food. Theme of healthy nutrition there is a long time, but in recent years - is particularly relevant. Thanks largely to advertising, we have changed our attitude toward food. First, unsophisticated consumers of advertising, with joy and enthusiasm to buy all the food advertised. Then it turned out that  advertised goods does not necessarily have to be high quality and useful.  Yes, today we have very carefully read the label on the beautiful packaging to determine what we actually eats called "creamy yogurt".

 

Later, after the invasion of foreign foods, we learned about a huge range of pet cats. At first, we are proud to buy your pet overseas, "snacks", believing that this is a very useful and proper food for him.

, but only much later, we realized that even if the cat is with great pleasure eat their crackers, they  not always useful to him.

 

It should be understood that  choice of food for your pet - it is extremely important and responsible.

 

Only at first glance all the cat food (dry and in the banks) the same! In fact, they  differ from each other in composition and, consequently, its effect on the body.  To understand cat food labels can help us, the information on which, according to Russian law, must be in Russian.

 Advertising fodder enough distort our notions of diet cat.  Now we know that cats are "necessary" cereals. But the cat - this is meat-eating predator that can not become a vegetarian as simply can not die without meat (read more about this article vegetarian diet).

 

In addition,  to understand what must consist cat food,  let's remember that part of the diet of rural cats. The basis of nutrition in the wild cats - small rodents. Muscle (meat) - a protein and various amino acids of vegetable origin, bone and skin - calcium and phosphorus, also in the stomach of rodents contains a small fraction of dietary fiber (grain); blood - and minerals. Separately, cats instinctively eat grass rarely and in small quantities to meet the needs of their health. In fermented milk products they encounter in nature (just as the kittens).

 

Consequently, the  good cat food should contain all the elements listed above to be the same  useful and nutritious.  

Ideal for the composition of feed, unfortunately, does not happen. On the scale of large-scale production, they would cost too much. But let us imagine  of the ideal food for cats.  

Eating this food,  proteins, proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins, amino acids.

 

But, unfortunately,  not everyone can boast of good food composition.

 

Now let's see what can be included in cheap low-quality forage.

 Chemicals, low quality by-products and dyes  contained in the cat food, not only do not benefit the animal, but  can cause serious diseases such as cancer. And fillers, though not harmful to health, but good does not bring.

 

If the presence of chemicals in cat food yet somehow reflected on the labels, then this is the case with by-products is more complicated. According to the laws of many countries  cat food manufacturers are not required to list on the label list of ingredients.  This means that the definition of "offal" does not just "traditional interior" (stomach, intestine, kidney, liver, heart, brain).

 

Typically, the labels of low-quality cheap cat food, we find an inscription - "by-products of animal and vegetable origin." What hides behind this name manufacturer? Often this means that  used in the feed by-products were very poor quality.  Therefore, buy only high quality food, with a full list of ingredients on the label.
