Buy Grain Free Cat Food Online (Hong Kong)
Grain free cat food is usually high in meat and protein content and is preferred by many cat owners. These foods do not contain grains such as rice, barley, wheat, corn but they still contain a certain percentage of carbohydrates in the form of vegetables such as potato, sweet potato and tapioca. A high protein, low carbohydrate diet is important for diabetic cats and those suffering from cancer. To find out the percentage of carbohydrates in the diet, you can check the guaranteed analysis. The percentage of carbohydrates is roughly equal to 100% - % protein - % fat - % fibre - % ash - % moisture.
Grain free dry food that is high in meat content may taste better but also cost more than cat food that is high in grain content. In nature, cat's ancestrial diet is made up of moist food (the fresh meat and blood provide enough water to the cats). Unlike dogs, cats have less tendency to drink water by themselves. In some cases, insufficient water intake will cause urinary tract problem such as crystals and recurring urinary tract infection. Although feeding dry food is very convenient, we do recommend cat owners to add canned / moist cat food to the diet. Preferrably, moist / canned cat food should make up 50% of food intake. You can also entice your cat to drink more water using a pet fountain.
There is no "best" cat food but we do choose products that are made of natural human grade ingredients without artificial color, flavors and chemical preservatives. Rotating the cat food once in a while (2-3 months) is also beneficial as a variety of food can provide more diverse nutrients and may prevent food allergies in the long run.
