Cat Food

Cats are strictly carnivores and differ from dogs in their nutritional requirements.  As such, they need animal based proteins, such as meat and less of the vegetables or plant based proteins. 

Dry cat food is often more plant based whilst wet cat food is more animal based so a cat will need a balance for a healthy diet.

Types of food

There are three types of cat food available in the pet food industry:

  • Dry or kibble cat food usually found in bags or boxes, but contains only 3 10% of water.  
  • Wet cat food usually sold in cans or pouches which contain around 60 80% water. Contains more protein, fat and water than other types of cat food and is more palatable.
  • Semi moist/pouch cat food similar to dry or kibble food but has a higher water content, usually up to 35%. Usually sourced in pouches but can be found in bigger bags.
