Persian cats are not only docile, but also very smart and clingy. Although they are rarely picky eaters, cat owners still need to pay attention to the health of Persian cats when feeding Persian cats, because only by eating healthily can cats live longer. For a longer time, when you decide to raise a Persian cat, do you know what is better for a Persian cat to eat? How should you choose cat food for a Persian cat? Below, Chongzijun will introduce to you how to choose cat food for a Persian cat!

1. Look at the top five highest ingredients. If there are meat or poultry by-products, grains are the majority (for example, there are 3 items), the meat is not specified, and the preservative is BHA/BHT or Ethozyquin for cats. It is not recommended to buy grain.

2. Try to buy products from big factories and reputable companies. This is the truth. However, it may not be true whether cat food produced by big companies must be healthy cat food. Therefore, cat parents should consider quality. point.

3. Some of the cat dry foods on the market are produced according to the different needs of cats, such as: hair removal formula, gastrointestinal sensitivity formula, skin sensitivity formula, gum health formula, anti-urinary stone formula, long-haired Persian formula, etc. Cat owners can choose from different formulas to meet the different needs of Persian cats.

4. The storage period of general dry food is 1 to 2 years. Please read the last consumption date on the packaging bag carefully and smell the dry food when opening it. If you find that the taste is abnormal or stale, please do not feed it to your cat. , you can ask the manufacturer to return or exchange it.

5. If you want to change the brand of Persian cat food, don't change it all at once in a hurry. First mix one-third of the new cat food with two-thirds of the old cat food, and then gradually increase the proportion of the new cat food every day. Slowly transition until the old cat volume is completely replaced. This is done for the sake of the cat's stomach, otherwise switching to new cat food at once may cause gastrointestinal discomfort (the cat's stomach has adapted to the old cat food).

6. Cats of different ages need different cat food. Persian cats need a variety of nutrients, and minerals are also very important. Calcium and phosphorus play an important role in bone development.

As cats age, the calcium and phosphorus content in their food should gradually decrease. Especially the phosphorus content is in the order of young cats>adult cats>senior cats. This is because the metabolism of phosphorus is mainly completed in the kidneys. The older the cat, the lower the ability of the kidneys to metabolize phosphorus. In this way, if adult cats or even elderly cats are fed kitten food for a long time, it will easily cause kidney problems. , such as kidney failure.

In addition, the sodium content in food should also decrease as the Persian cat ages. The older the cat, the higher the chance of heart disease. Sodium ions place a greater burden on the heart. In order to reduce the burden on the heart, the sodium content in the food should be reduced as the cat ages.

Persian cats can’t spit out hair balls. Compared withHair removal cream, it needs more suitable cat food!

Known as the "Prince of Cats" and "Princess", Persian cats have thick and gorgeous long hair, coupled with a light gait of "tiptoeing", their movements reveal a noble and extraordinary temperament. But while this beautiful long hair adds to their charm, it also makes them more susceptible to hairballs. If owners fail to properly deal with their fur balls, they may also cause health risks to their owners. Some impatient men will also choose to shave their master's hair. This will only treat the symptoms but not the root cause, and will also damage the master's appearance.

Diligent grooming and scientific food selection are the correct ways to avoid hairball problems

After figuring out that Persian masters are troubled by hair balls because the barbs on their tongues bring a large amount of body hair into the intestines and stomach, it is actually not that difficult to solve this problem. On the one hand, the scavenger should be diligent, comb the owners' hair frequently (preferably once a day), and comb out the hair that has fallen off their bodies, so that the amount of hair involved in the body will naturally be reduced. On the other hand, you need to choose suitable cat food to help them smoothly discharge the accumulated hair in their body.

In view of the fact that Persian owners are often troubled by hair balls, the adult cat food for Persian cats developed by the royal family contains soluble fiber psyllium. This fiber will turn into a gel after being absorbed by the owner, absorbing the scattered hair in the owner's stomach and reducing the formation of hair balls. There are also other complex fibers that promote intestinal peristalsis and better expel hair balls. Ensuring the normal discharge of hair balls in the intestines and stomach can not only reduce the chance of owners developing hair balls, but also reduce their gastrointestinal burden, allowing them to better absorb the nutrients in cat food and grow healthily.

In fact, in addition to the problem of hair balls, Persian cats have another special feature compared to other cats, and that is the way they feed. Persian cats have a round head and a flat mouth. The mouth is not as protruding as other cats, so it is not easy to get food. In addition, Persian cats are one of the few cats that feed sublingually. They roll their tongues downward to roll food into their mouths to eat. Therefore, the round cat food pellets commonly available on the market are not easy to roll. It’s actually not very convenient to eat.

In view of this feeding characteristic of Persian cats, Royal Persian cat adult cat food is specially designed with "almond-shaped" grains, which are wide in the middle and pointed at both ends, making it easier for Persian cats to roll up food. This will make it much easier for the masters to eat, and it can also prevent the occurrence of hair ball disease to a greater extent, making the masters' intestines smoother and healthier, and they can continue to play happily with the poop scrapers~

I hope the above little knowledge can help you take better care of your Persian owners, let them show the charm of thick and beautiful hair, stay away from the trouble of hair balls, and become a healthy and elegant beautiful cat.
