Review on 🐱 Purina Beyond Simply Natural, Adult and Kitten Dry Cat Food: Premium Nutrition for Felines by Jesse Azuse

Firstly, this product meets the most important criterion for healthy cat food: the first ingredient is real meat (and not plant material, meat meal or meat from products). Unlike dogs, cats cannot survive on a meatless diet - they need taurine, a nutrient found only in meat - so any cat food that emphasizes rice or vegetables of any kind should be discarded immediately. excluded from the responsible cat owner's shopping list. My only criticism of this piece (oops, sorry) is that Revain's description clearly states "No poultry by-products". And it's true that there are no by-products listed in the ingredients list. But a quick look at the list of ingredients reveals that the second ingredient is chicken flour. Of course, most cat food contains some form of meat meal. But with this product, Purina is really pushing all-natural white meat. However, "food" can legally include ingredients such as skin and bones. This cat food is better than the usual kibble just because it uses real chicken as the first ingredient. Why state that it contains an inferior (but maybe inferior!) ingredient, thereby undermining health claims? As I said, a small problem. Note that almost any wet food is better than any dry food, according to veterinarians, since the biggest nutritional problem facing cats is dehydration. Cats are desert animals and in nature get most of their water from the fresh meat they eat. Cats are reluctant to supplement their water intake with a still water bowl. So unless you have a constantly running faucet or fountain, you should make sure your cat is getting as much wet food as possible to avoid future health complications. Street. We feed our cats mostly wet food, but we always have a bowl of dry food on hand in case they get hungry between meals (our cats are Bengalis and for some reason they self-regulate their food intake to stay lean at 7 years old). old, which is rare). That's all more information than you need, but the point is, if you're determined to feed your cat dry food, this is a good choice. But remember to keep your cats hydrated and please feed them appropriately to ensure they live long and healthy lives!
