Dry Food for Cats

Good nutrition is very important for the overall health of your pet. Dry cat food must therefore contain a good balance of nutrients, vitamins, and minerals, which contribute to a longer and healthier life. Read on to find out what makes dry food different from other types and what parameters are important.

What pros (or cons) does dry food have compared to other types?

When buying the cat food, you have a choice of several options. The main groups are dry and wet food, with each offering different advantages. Pellets are a type of dry food, so let's take a look at their pros and cons.

Balanced nutrient content.
Hard pellets help keep the cat's teeth and jaws healthy.
Dry food has a long shelf life.
Can be stored virtually anywhere.
Doesn't dry out in the air unlike canned food.

Not as fragrant and juicy as wet foods, so some picky cats may not like it.
The food quickly loses its strong scent if you leave the bag open, making it less tasty.

Some cats may refuse dry cat food because it’s not as juicy as the wet food they are used to. This can be solved by pouring a little meat juice or broth on the pellets or mixing them with canned food. So you also change flavours often to make sure your cat’s taste buds don’t get bored.

Consider your cat’s age and size when choosing the right cat food

A cat needs a different ratio of nutrients and vitamins depending on its age, so choose the dry food accordingly. Large and small cats also need a different amount of food to stay healthy.

Dry food for kittens is rich in fats, vitamins, and minerals. The pellets are also smaller.
Dry food for adult cats typically has a high protein content. The pellets tend to be larger.
Dry food for senior cats may contain more minerals and other elements. It also has a lower energy content.

Age	Age Range	Suitable Food Type
Kitten / Junior	under 12 months	Kitten, Junior
Adult Cat	12 months – 7 years	Adult
Elderly Cat / Senior	7+ years	Senior

Neutered and spayed cats need special care. They are more prone to obesity and may have urological problems. Choose dry food for neutered and spayed cats to keep your feline friend healthy.

Read the labels: High-quality dry food has a high meat content

Composition is incredibly important. To ensure your cat gets quality food, choose dry pellets with a high meat content (at least 30%). What else should you look for?

Fats are an integral part of cat food. The fat content should match your cat's activity level—the more active the cat, the more fat it can eat. If you have a lazy kitty, make sure to choose low-calorie cat food with about 9% of fat.
Preservatives should not be in cat food at all. If the pellets do have them, make sure they are natural. It’s usually just vitamin C or E.
Cats should not eat food dyes, period. Choose cat food with a natural colour instead of weird multicolour novelty treats. They are not healthy and could cause bloating.

Buy grain-free cat food to avoid allergies

Grain-free food is suitable for kitties who have any allergies or food intolerances. There’s also a practical aspect, namely that more grain means less meat in the food, making it less nutritious and forcing the cat to eat more. An alternative for sensitive individuals is hypoallergenic cat food.

If you want quality cat food, avoid the cheapest options

Cheap cat food doesn’t contain the proper amount of meat and nutrients your cat needs. The cat then has to eat more and you will have to buy food more often. Don’t try to penny-pinch–save by buying in bulk or products on sale instead.

Buying in bulk–a 10kg bag will save you money and make your life easier

If you want to save money without feeding your cat substandard food, you should buy in bulk. A 10kg bag of pellets will keep your kitty fed for a long time, saving you plenty of shopping time. Moreover, large packs are very easy to store. And if you know what your feline pal likes and he or she is not very picky, just get them a 20kg bag of cat food and you’re set.

If you have multiple four-legged friends in your home, remember that dog food is not suitable for cats. Cats need a different nutrient balance than dogs.
