Do you have a cat? Here are three types of products we recommend giving to your cat for optimal health and well-being:
1. Wet food
Cats are obligate carnivores, meaning they must eat meat (from land animals) to survive. Ziwi Peak wet food is one of the very best options we have found, as it contains a whopping 92% meat, offal and bones. Wet food also has a significantly lower carbohydrate content than dry food, and cats do not need as much carbohydrate as is usually found in dry food. Cats are also naturally bad at drinking water, and should therefore get most of their fluid intake through their food. Wet food contains around 80% liquid, which helps keep the cat hydrated.
2. Bone power
Bone broth is a nutritious liquid that is cooked on animal bones. It contains a lot of protein, B vitamins, minerals and collagen. It is good for digestion, the immune system, joints and bones, skin and fur, and can give your cat more energy due to the high protein content. It is perfect to mix into wet food (or raw food/dry food) if you want to add something more nutritious than water.
3. Heart
Taurine is an essential amino acid that cats cannot produce themselves, so they must get it through their diet. Taurine is important for the heart, vision, and digestion. Products made from animal hearts, such as chicken, duck, beef, and pork hearts, are excellent sources of taurine, and green-lipped mussels actually contain some taurine (in addition to omega-3 fatty acids and glycosaminoglycans).
Extra tip on the tampon: Chew
Dental health is just as important for cats as it is for dogs. Give your cat something to chew on, such as chicken necks, duck necks, or oxtails. This can help reduce plaque and improve dental health, satisfying their need to chew, which can reduce stress and boredom.
All of these products are not only healthy for your cat, but also contribute to a richer and more satisfying diet!
