Feeding Grain Free Cat Food to maintain your cats health





Why feed Grain free cat food? Many health problems in dogs and cats are the result of high carbohydrate content found in grains such as rice and wheat, which promote obesity, diabetes, kidney stones/struvite crystals, behavior problems, allergies, skin/coat problems, dogs and cats have a short gastrointestinal system and is short of the enzymes needed to breakdown the cereals and carbohydrates.



In short dogs and cats are as nature intended them to be meat eaters, who stay healthier on a high protein diet of meat, vegetables and fruits and not the grain stuffed convenience food that has been the cause of so many pet food recalls and pet deaths over the last decade. Feed your pet wisely and you will avoid costly visits to the vets.



Giving your pets tinned food as part of a regular diet or occasional meal will be beneficial to their health, as a way to increase their liquid intake, this is important for those pets that suffer with urinary/bladder infections and kidney stones.

As an alternative to commercially produced cat food many owners are turning to making their own cat meals.
