The benefits of a dry cat food diet for your feline companion
Aside from being nutritionally balanced and easy to feed and store, choosing a dry food for cats makes sense for many other reasons. Kibble allows cats to graze through the day, which is instinctual for them and similar to how they eat in the wild. Cats generally prefer to have many small meals throughout the day and dry cat food allows them to do that without the potential for food spoiling in their bowl. It also promotes healthy teeth in cats, helping to reduce plaque and tarter buildup for overall better dental health. Cat food toppers and freeze-dried cat foods can be great ways to pique your pet’s interest if it seems like they’re tiring of their daily dry food.
A selection of protein options for your picky pet
Cats can be particular about the type and brand of food they eat. With a wide range of protein options, Pet Valu makes it easy to find the right source of protein for your cat. Choose from beef, chicken, duck, fish, salmon, and turkey—you’re sure to find an option that your cat is happy to eat every day. Finding the right protein and the best dry cat food for your cat ensures they’re getting the right nutrition to help keep them happy and healthy.
Selecting a specialty food for your cat’s individual needs
Your trusted vet may recommend you choose a cat kibble that offers specific health benefits based on your cat’s individual needs. Pet Valu has a range of options to choose from including grain-free cat food, food for aging, allergies, dental care, digestive care, urinary care, weight control and more. Selecting a specialty cat food based on your pet’s needs helps support their long-term health and wellbeing. Your vet may encourage you to add wet cat food as well to help round out your cat’s diet and add moisture to their meals.
How much dry food should I give my cat?
There are several factors to consider when deciding how much to feed your cat, including their age, size, and activity level. Locate the feeding chart on the packaging of your pet’s food. Use this as a starting point, adjusting to meet the needs of your particular pet. A general guideline is to feed kittens about 300-500 calories per day and adult and senior cats approximately 20 calories per pound of body weight. When starting any new food, keep an eye on your pet’s weight over the first few weeks and reassess feeding amounts as needed.
Stages of life
Selecting a dry cat food for the stage of life that your cat is in is very important. Dry food for kittens ensures your kitten has the vital nutrients and protein they need throughout their first year. Pet Valu also has adult cat options and foods specifically formulated to support senior cats as they move into their golden years.
