When you find your first kitty, it can be quite hard to choose which type of kitten food is better to give it. Should you walk into a pet shop, you might become confused by the options as there are so many! This article will allow you to select from all of those different types to pick the one which will keep the kitten most healthy.
The most important thing you should do is look at the ingredients of the cat food. Ensure that the initial component is some form of meat. It's alright if it is a meat that seems unappetizing to you-the kitty just wants meat. Make sure there is not a very high proportion of fillers. It is possible to tell by means of if it is early on the list. Fillers will include things like corn or even wheat.
Kittens are by nature carnivores. They consume meat but only meat. Many kitten foods are full of corn or wheat to be able to get them to cost less money, but this is extremely unhealthy for the cat, whose system cannot process carbs properly. Not only will this result in stomach issues, however it may cause diabetes as well as future health issues. It really is worth it to pay a little more for a high quality kitten food.
You will discover a lot of debate over whether dry or wet food is best for kittens. Some people think that moist food is bad for the cat's teeth, while others realize that there is more meat in wet food. You will need to do your own research on this thereby making your own personal conclusion. If you give the kitten wet food then she will not have to drink much because a lot of her fluids comes from the food.
Remember that the food you choose bears a large impact on the present and future health of your cat.
