How Do I Choose the Right Cat Food?

As owners, we always want to give the best for our cats. It is important to choose cat food products with complete and balanced nutrition that fit the specific needs of your cats. Here are some tips to consider when choosing food for your cat:

  1. Match the food to your cat’s life stage (kitten, adult, senior). Cats of different life stages have specific nutritional requirements, and the food you’re feeding should help support them in these stages.
  2. Check ingredient quality. Ensure that the food you’re feeding contains essential vitamins, minerals, and omega fatty acids. These are essential to your cat's development, supporting their overall health.
  3. Provide both wet and dry formats for hydration and texture variety.
  4. Be aware of any potential allergies your cat may have. Always monitor your cats' health if you are introducing a new source of food to them.
  5. Additionally, depending on your cat's feeding schedule, specific foods may be more suitable for them. Free-feeding cats should only be fed dry food to ensure freshness. If you are not sure what feeding schedule to use, find out more from our cat diet guide(open in new tab).

 

Essential Nutrients in Cat Food

To ensure your cat gets the best support from every meal, keep a lookout for these crucial nutrients in cat food:

  1. High-Quality Animal Protein: As carnivores, cats need protein to build and maintain muscles, skin, fur, enzymes, and hormones. Look for real meat, fish, or poultry listed among the top ingredients.
  2. Taurine: An essential amino acid that cats can’t produce enough of themselves. Thus, it should be supported as an ingredient in their foods. It supports heart function, vision, digestion, and reproduction.
  3. Healthy Fats (Omega-3 & Omega-6): These vital fats promote healthy skin, shiny coats, joint health, and cognitive function.
  4. Vitamins & Minerals: Nutrients like vitamins A, D, E, B-complex, calcium, phosphorus, and zinc are essential for vision, immune health, bone strength, and overall vitality.
  5. Fiber: A great additional ingredient to aid with your cat's digestive system.
  6. Water / Moisture: Staying hydrated is critical. Wet food not only provides nutrients but also supplies up to 80% of a cat’s daily water needs, an important factor in urinary and kidney health.

Wet and Dry Cat Food

High moisture content helps with hydration. It’s easy to eat and packed with savory sauces; ideal for fussy or senior cats.

Bite-sized kibbles designed with satisfying textures help support dental health while keeping your fur friend well-fed. 

Most cat parents achieve the best results with a combination of both wet and dry cat food, balancing hydration and convenience. If you are not sure what to feed your cat, try considering other factors such as their age and feeding style.

Cat food for different life stages

Life Stages

Cats’ dietary needs change as they grow up and get older. Our meals will support your cat at every stage in their life.

Kittens grow fifteen times faster than human babies and are full of energy! During this time, kittens need a lot of protein, fat, calcium, vitamins and minerals to support their rapid growth and boundless energy. Our WHISKAS® 2-12 months range has the right amount of all the necessary nutrients for them to grow up big and strong.
Adult cats (1+ years) need nutritious, high-quality food to maintain their health and keep them strong and active. WHISKAS® 1+ range provides the right amount of nutrients and energy they need to stay lean, strong and healthy.

Can I Feed Home-cooked Food to My Cat?

Serving a home-cooked meal may feel like love, but it may not provide all the vitamins and minerals your cat needs. Compared to humans, cats require 4x more protein and over 41 essential nutrients to stay healthy and obtaining that balance in homemade meals can be difficult. For optimal cat nutrition, serving WHISKAS® is the much better choice since it's carefully formulated to provide complete and balanced nutrition!
