Canned Cat Food

Canned cat foods are high water content foods specifically formulated to meet the dietary requirements of cats at their different life stages.

High quality canned cat foods seek to provide a complete and balanced diet for cats. It is essential that owners feed their cat with a food specifically manufactured for cats and formulated to meet the appropriate life stage of their animal. Since cats have very specific dietary needs to provide optimal nutrition to support optimal growth and development, owners must not feed cats with dog food.

Canned cat foods come in a wide variety of flavours, textures and moisture levels. Some canned cat food products will be presented as a solid mass inside the can which contains all the ingredients and moisture mixed and then formed into the can. Owners can serve out the required volume of food and return the remaining portion to the refrigerator to keep fresh for later use. Other canned products may have ingredients that are mixed with other ingredients in a gravy slurry. Many of these types of products come in single serve portions to help remove the difficulties associated with storing unused portions.

Cat Food Options for Fastidious Cats

Some cats can be fastidious eaters which can cause great distress for owners. Canned cat food manufacturers generally offer a wide range of flavours in their products to help owners overcome this issue. Whilst fish and chicken varieties may be favoured by some animals, beef and lamb products are also readily available.

Benefits of Canned Cat Food

Some of the benefits of canned cat food include:

  • High palatability
  • Variety of flavours and textures available
  • Single-portion packs in some brands
  • Ability to heat canned cat food to enhance palatability through smell for unwell animals
  • High water content supplements the water intake in animals fed canned diets
  • Long shelf life whilst unopened
  • Soft consistency for animals with oral conditions.

Canned cat foods are also available for cats with specific medical conditions and illnesses. Your veterinarian will advise of whether or not these diets are of use for your animal. These products (for example Hill's Prescription diets) are available to purchase in bulk so that owners will always have the product available as needed to best ensure that the ongoing dietary management of their cat's ailment is not suddenly stopped.

Canned cat foods do not provide the dental benefits that are afforded by dry cat foods so the provision of other dental care products for these cats is recommended.

Owners should always consider their individual cat's needs when deciding on which type of cat food to choose. Adequate supplies of fresh water daily should always be provided.
