Feeding B.E.S.T food




Food is always important for everyone, including your cats.
Always buy the highest-quality food you can comfortably afford, A cat eating poor-quality food may develop health problems, such as kidney function failure, the most common cause of death in order cats. Feeding a poor quality food save your budget at your cats’ early life stage, but will resulting in increased visits to the veterinarian at their later life stage, and that is going to be more expensive.
Feed your cat the proper food on their menu, NOT yours. There is some food on your menu that have to be avoided, for example, chocolate, coffee, onion, garlic, alcohol, avocado, grapes, raisins, etc. I suggest to leave the following food somewhere out of your cats’ reach. If your cats eat any of the above accidently, you must meet your veterinarian IMMEDIATELY.
When your new cat or kitten just arrive home, it is always good to start offering them the food they used to eat. Mix some new food in with the existing food and gradually increase the portion of the new food, I suggest you to do this: Mix the new food (25% portion) with the old food, keep doing this for a week, in the second week, increase the new food to 50% portion, in the third week, further increase new food to 75% portion, in the fourth week, completely feed new food.
Now, there is a FAQ during my employment at PetsMart, “What’s the Best Cat Food” My answer to that question is always "I am very sorry, but the best cat food does not exist" (Please don’t be sad, keep reading) although there is no such food that is the best, there is certainly B.E.S.T. food.
Better nutrition: better nutrition will offer your cats long and health life
Eat less: just like human, eating too much will result in obesity problem
Stool reduction: huge amount of stool means the food has not been digested properly
Tailor to fit your cats’ need: ingredient must meet what they require
Using B.E.S.T. rules will help you pick the proper food for your best friends.
