It is best to choose cat foods that contain between 13% and 18% crude fat. Cat foods containing more than 18% fat will be suitable if the cat can accept them. Cats with a weak gastrointestinal tract, prone to loose stools or obese cats. it is better not to choose it.
2. Taurine: Taurine is a gas station for cat's eyes. Cats cannot synthesize it themselves and therefore can only rely on food, conditions permitting.nt. It is better if it is greater than 0.2%.
3. Water-soluble chloride: Content in national standard: ≥0.3% for adult cats and kittens. Cats need a certain amount of salt to sustain their daily lives, but not too much or it will do it. easily lead to cat tears, hair loss, kidney disease, etc.
4. Coarse ash: Coarse ash is the residue after burning cat food, so the lower the content, the better, and it is best not to exceed 10%.
5. Calcium to Phosphorus Ratio: It is recommended that the calcium to phosphorus ratio of cat foods should be between 1.1:1 and 1.4:1. An unbalanced ratio can easily lead to abnormal bone development in cats. .
