Product Information

It’s convenient to feed and to store compared to wet foods. You don’t have to carry boxes of canned food, for example. Plus, a bag of dry food doesn’t take up as much space as a dozen cans of food. Dry foods also have a long shelf life. And, they are more economical than wet foods. Though, Justine Shotton, BVA President, does say that diets 'should be adapted to the cat's lifestyle, age, breed and any health conditions.' So it's worth speaking to a vet when you get a new cat. Cat food brands rated by customers Most kittens start to eat food (other than milk) from about three weeks of age. Their first food should be soft and easy to digest and will be supplemented by their mother’s milk. Young kittens need lots of small meals to keep their energy levels stable throughout the day.

Cats are considered to have reached their senior years once they are around seven to ten years old.Cats don’t need fruit or vegetables as part of their diet, but many can be given in very small quantities as an occasional treat.

What's key is the amount you feed your furry companion, as pet obesity is rapidly on the rise. Avoid high fat treats, milk (many cats are lactose intolerant), and raw meat (raw meat can be transmit infectious diseases such as toxoplasmosis).Increase the amount of new food and decrease the old food (Day 5-10): By day five, start increasing the amount of new food and decrease the old food. Keep the food separate at all times as texture is very important to cats. If you mix the food, they might not eat any of it. The whole change-over process might take longer than ten days for some cats - don’t be tempted to skip ahead as your cat may reject the food completely.
