Choosing the right kibble for cats
So how do you feed your cat well? With the variety of brands, compositions, conflicting opinions, and sometimes misleading certifications, it’s easy to feel lost. Should you follow specialized influencers, veterinarians, or forums overflowing with contradictory advice? Often, this only adds to the confusion.
And don’t think you can find THE personalized advice for YOUR cat online, because every animal has unique needs. Therefore, you already know that you can’t rely on a rating given to a brand of cat kibble, as there’s no way to know if it will suit your pet.
A different approach to better feeding your cat
At Petfood Advisor, we’ve made a bold choice: we don’t assign arbitrary ratings to cat food brands. Why? Because no universal rating system can suit all cats. And yet, for over 20 years, countless comparison charts for kibble and wet food have been published, but they are virtually useless!
Let’s not forget that the information on labels is never guaranteed and that compositions can change. In these conditions, you might be making poor decisions based on completely outdated information.
Every cat is unique. Their dietary needs depend on numerous factors: age, activity level, digestive sensitivities, taste preferences, and even medical conditions. And when your pet is sick, you consult your veterinarian—you don’t look for nutrition advice on Facebook!
Should you feed wet food to your cat? Which one to choose?
Traditional scoring methods, like a “Catfood Score ABCDE” or a “Catfood Score 123456,” don’t account for these specificities. Worse, they oversimplify complex decisions to the detriment of your companion’s health. There are even many testimonials from people who made their cats sick by following poor nutritional advice.
Understanding cats’ nutritional needs
Your cat is an obligate carnivore, meaning their nutritional needs are highly specific. Whether it’s kibble, wet food, a carefully prepared homemade meal, or a BARF diet (Biologically Appropriate Raw Food), each type of food has its own pros and cons:
- Kibble: Convenient and economical, kibble helps maintain good dental hygiene, but its quality varies greatly from one brand to another. Kibble offers many advantages.
- Wet food: Rich in water, it’s ideal for cats that don’t drink enough, but you must pay close attention to its composition to avoid excess fat or carbohydrates. Wet food is often given as a complement to kibble.
- Homemade meals: Prepared at home, they can precisely meet your cat’s needs but require expertise in nutrition to avoid deficiencies.
- BARF diet: Based on raw foods, it mimics cats’ natural diet but must be carefully balanced to avoid risks related to imbalances or contamination.
Fact-based and interactive information
Rather than assigning a single rating, we deeply analyze testimonials and feedback from cat owners. This information is enriched by detailed analyses of product compositions and presentations available on the market.
We also know that some foods, even well-formulated ones, may not suit certain cats due to specific sensitivities or allergies. That’s why we provide tools and resources to help you understand your cat’s actual needs.
