Wet Cat Food

Why does my cat need wet cat food in their diet?

There are several reasons feeding wet cat food recipes can benefit your feline friend!

Number one is enhanced hydration: some cats dislike still or standing water, so it can be hard for you to convince them to drink regularly throughout the day. Feeding wet cat food, which has a higher water content, will help keep them hydrated.

Another benefit of wet cat food is the high protein content. Wet cat food recipes will generally contain more protein than dry cat food, so they support strong muscles and can help your cat maintain their muscle mass as they age.

As well as more protein, wet cat food recipes can provide your cat with the same necessary levels of iron, zinc, and biotin as dry cat food, but with a more palatable taste to some cats. Promoting good overall health.

Wet cat food is tasty! The strong aromas of wet recipes will tantalise your kitty’s taste buds, and they can enjoy their meals.

Wet cat food also offers a wider variety of recipes than dry food on a meal-by-meal basis. Variety packs are more common and will keep your cat from getting bored and potentially bringing home more tasty prey!

Can I feed my cat both dry and wet food?

Yes, you can; feeding a mixed diet will not only offer your cat the benefits and textures each diet type has to offer but may fit their lifestyles.

For example, cats who love to graze throughout the day may need dry food in their bowls to snack on without overindulging on treats, but they can enjoy a tasty, wet recipe as their main meal of the day.

That is why we can offer you a very extensive selection of wet cat food, which is designed to cater to every stage of your cat's life and a wide range of dietary needs.

As wet cat food is an excellent choice for keeping your feline companion hydrated and ensuring they receive a balanced diet, search through our options above and buy yours today.

Transitioning and Feeding Tips

We know how introducing a new wet cat food to your cat’s diet can be a delicate process, especially for picky eaters.

So much so that when introducing a new food, it's best to combine it with their old food over time. This helps your cat's digestive system adjust and supports a smooth transition. For specific health concerns, a food supplement can be beneficial, but you should always consult with your vet first.

To keep mealtimes exciting and ensure a balanced routine, offer a fresh single-serve pouch each day.

This will then help to prevent digestive upset and also ensure your cat has time to adjust to the new taste and texture.

Try offering a small taste

For particularly fussy felines, try offering a small taste of the new food on its own, or choose a recipe with a tempting texture, such as juicy shreds of chicken in a rich sauce.

As high-moisture foods, including those with added broth, can be particularly appealing.

This also helps boost their overall hydration, which is ideal for urinary tract health as well. You can also encourage your cat to drink more by using a cat water fountain.

Options specifically designed for cats with sensitive stomachs

Our range of wet cat food includes options specifically designed for cats with sensitive stomachs, with some recipes containing ingredients like prebiotics to support healthy digestion.

So, whether you're switching to a new flavour or exploring a specialised diet like grain-free, understanding your cat’s unique nutritional needs is more than a requirement.

So much so that to help manage mealtimes and prevent overfeeding, consider using automatic cat feeders to provide small, regular portions throughout the day as well.
