How to choose cat food:

1. First look at the ingredient list. Cats are absolute carnivores, so the more meat in the formula, the better, and the best The good thing is the animal protein in the meat. For high-quality cat food, the first three characters will always be meat, and it will state what kind of meat it is. If it only says poultry and meat, and you don’t know what kind of meat it is, it’s best not to choose it.

2. Look at the nutritional content. The proportion of crude protein in adult cat food should not be less than 26%, that of kitten food should not be less than 30%, and the proportion of crude fat should not be less than 9%, usually between 10% and 10%. 20%, if it is higher than 20%, give up directly. The proportion of crude fiber cannot exceed 7%, and generally 3.5% is optimal. Taurine is a gas station for cat eyes, so you should choose cat food with taurine ≥0.1% at least. If conditions allow, 0.2% or more is definitely the best. Coarse ash is the residue after burning cat food, so the lower the content, the better, and it is best not to exceed 10%. It is recommended that the calcium to phosphorus ratio of cat food be kept within the range of 1.1:1~1.4:1. An imbalanced ratio can easily lead to abnormal bone development in cats.

3. Looking at the price, everyone knows that you get what you pay for. If a cat food costs a few dollars per pound, it is not credible to claim that it is a high-protein cat food. The price directly determines the grade of raw materials used to make dog food. Generally, most of the food with a unit price of less than 10 yuan/jin is low-end. You can choose good cat food at 20-30 yuan/jin. But the more expensive the cat food, the better. The right one is the best.

4. Look at the third-party testing report. Cat food that has been tested and certified by professional organizations is at least guaranteed.

5. Look at the characteristics of the product. First, check whether the cat food is too greasy to the touch. If it is too greasy, do not choose it, because long-term consumption will cause problems such as irritation, soft stools, and black chins in cats. Secondly, check whether the fragrance is too strong and the fishy smell is too strong. If so, it means that this cat food contains a large amount of food attractants, which will cause harm to cats. Finally, taste it to see if it is too salty. If it is too salty, it means the salt content is high. Long-term consumption will cause tears, hair loss, etc. in the cat.
