A good cat wet food is important to keep the cat healthy. Food for cats is different than dry food for dogs. Unlike dogs, cats are not able to digest dry food well, so a dry food for cats may actually aggravate their condition. Make sure that you give your cat the best food possible. They will eat almost anything, so you need to watch what they are eating. This is especially true if the cat has some type of medical condition or is extremely overweight.
The demand for cat wet food is high in the U.S. According to 2017-2018 U.S. Pet Ownership & Demographics Sourcebook of American Veterinary Medical Foundation (AVMF), 25.4% of household in the U.S. owned cats in 2017-18 compared to 30.4% in 2012. If you have questions about which type of cat wet food would be best, contact your local vet. The vet can talk with you about what would be the best type of cat food for your particular pet. There are many brands and types of food on the market and your local vet will be able to recommend the best one for your pet. Another thing that you need to do to make sure that your cat is getting the best nutrition is make sure that you change out the brand of dry food that you are feeding your cat on regularly. Most cats prefer a canned food that is moist. If the dry food is drying out, then it will not be as moist as the canned food that you are feeding your cat on. You want to change out the brands so that your cat will have a variety of moist cat food.
A final consideration when choosing food for your cat is the expiration date on the can. Most cat foods have a limited shelf life. The expiration date will indicate on the can or the package of the cat food. Make sure that you read the expiration date on the can before you put the food down. It is not a good idea to feed your cat food that has ever been exposed to sunlight or air. This can cause a buildup of toxins in the digestive system which can result in illness for your cat.
