Many pet owners consider natural food to be the only food that is beneficial for the well-being of their animals.
In fact, natural food is full of disadvantages, while pet food has a lot of advantages. And vice versa.
Experts have explained the disadvantages of natural cat food and whether it should be chosen as the main diet.
If we talk about the disadvantages of store-bought food, we can only name the high cost of quality food (premium or super premium), as well as the risk of running into a fake.
Otherwise, it is a balanced food containing all the necessary nutrients and vitamins.
Natural food. Disadvantages
Without experience and skills, it is extremely difficult to create a diet for a cat that will take into account all the features.
But in this case, it is necessary to take into account not only the age and health status, but also the lifestyle and daily needs of the pet for nutrients (for example, taurine).
It is not easy to avoid nutritional deficiencies, even when taking vitamins, or to avoid overdosing.
The next important point is that you will have to prepare the cat food yourself and regularly. It needs to be stored somewhere, but even in the refrigerator, food cannot be stored indefinitely.
Advantages
The only thing that is not in doubt in this case is the quality of the ingredients.
The owner can use the freshest vegetables, meat and other food products.
You can also prepare food taking into account all the specific health conditions of your pet.
But in this case, the cost of feeding a cat can be equated to buying the highest quality food.
