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.

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).

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.
