10 best wet cat food

Veterinarians still can not come to a common opinion, which type of food is preferable for cats - dry or wet. Both products have their advantages and disadvantages, so when choosing the best diet for your pet, the advice of a specialist will be optimal. Nevertheless, studies have shown that wet foods are more physiological, they ensure the health of the genitourinary system, are well digested and are popular with almost everyone, even the most whimsical fluffies.

Today, on the shelves of pet shops you can find wet food in two formats - packaged in small sealed bags (pouches), designed for one feeding, or in tin jars (canned food) of various sizes. One of the significant drawbacks of such a menu (of course for the owners, and not for their pets), is the high cost of factory food. And, the better and more balanced the composition, the more natural ingredients it contains, the higher the cost of serving. When compiling the ranking of the best wet food, we first of all studied the authoritative opinions of experts, including professional breeders, and also listened to the reviews of ordinary cat owners. Our TOP-10 includes only proven brands, but do not forget that each home Murka is individual, and before going to the store, it’s worth a while to visit a competent vet.

Top 10 best wet cat food

All manufacturers of animal feed initially divide their products into several classes - economy, premium, superpremium and holistic, which differ in quality and affordability. It is clear that one should not give preference to frankly cheap fodder, but the most expensive options as a permanent ration are not affordable for all buyers. We have chosen the best samples of cat food, which not only fully satisfy the adult purring, but also will take care of her health and well-being at different periods of life.

10 Whiskas

Despite the fact that Whiskas is traditionally considered an economy product with not the best characteristics, it is he, largely due to the active advertising campaign and affordable price, is one of the most popular and purchased in our country. The manufacturer promises an optimal balance of nutrients and a balanced composition with natural meat, cereals, taurine and a vitamin and mineral complex designed to keep the cat healthy.

Advantages:

• inexpensive price;
• widespread;
• a large palette of tastes.

Disadvantages and warnings:

• the presence of flavors, preservatives, dyes and sweeteners;
• "Opaque" composition;
• low protein content.

Despite the rather controversial reputation, we decided to include Whiskas in our rating. Feed produced by a large enterprise (Mars Corporation) with a long history. During production, all sanitary norms are observed and the process steps are monitored regularly.Therefore, it is hoped that this mixture will not be able to cause any special harm to the animal. In any case, the presence of feed of this brand in the diet of adult healthy cats is quite acceptable. One has only not to use them on an ongoing basis, and carefully monitor the status of your pet.

9 Sheba

Exquisite design and inexpensive price - that is, perhaps, the main advantages of Sheba feed that is poured from all screens. Although manufacturers are trying to present this mixture as a meat delicacy, in fact, the percentage of meat in a serving is only 20-25%. This is certainly more than in Wiscas, but still does not reach the daily norm recommended by veterinarians. The producer of Sheba is the same megaconner Mars, the owner of the brands Whiskas, Kitekat, PEDIGREE and many other food products known in our country (including for people).

Advantages:

• vitamins and minerals in the composition;
• minimum of dyes and fragrances;
• convenient format of jars and sachets - per serving.

Disadvantages and warnings:

• meat base is not the best quality;
• not intended for animals under 1 year.

It is noteworthy that under the brand of Sheba only wet food is produced, the company has no production of dry products. Therefore, many owners use their canned food and pauchi not as an independent diet, but as a delicacy, alternating feeding with “crackers” for more correct work of the organism of their pet.

8 Royal canin

Another inexpensive, but very well-known food in our country is the French Royal Canin, which is produced taking into account a variety of physiological characteristics of the animal. The range of the brand can be found as a line of daily feeding, and a special menu for cats with various failures in the work of internal organs. This brand is chosen by owners of fluffy, suffering from high blood sugar, with problems of the gastrointestinal tract or overweight. For example, Royal Canin Ultra Light is an excellent dietary option that can satisfy all the needs of an adult organism, while at the same time strictly controlling weight gain.

Advantages:

• enough protein to maintain muscle strength;
• original vegetarian series;
• good brand reputation.

Disadvantages and warnings:

• contains soy, GMO, dyes and preservatives.

Recently, Royal Canin began to be produced in Russia, which undoubtedly increased the availability of the product, but, unfortunately, negatively affected its quality. Reviews of owners of cats on this feed are ambiguous - some for many years give it to their four-legged pets and do not notice any special problems, while others have abandoned the brand after several feedings.

7 Purina pro plan

All responsible owners know that sterilized animals require special attention to their diet. Purina Pro Plan produces a variety of canned and spider for cats with specific needs, including NutriSavour Sterilised Feline, a low-calorie nutritious food based on poultry meat or beef. Veterinarians recommend regularly entering it into the menu of adult medium-sized cats of any breed, but warned that in some individuals, these preserves can cause allergies.

Advantages:

• contains antioxidants to protect the immune system;
• supports the health of the urinary system;

Also, customers like the pleasant smell and natural consistency of the product.

5 Bozita

The following premium feed from Sweden attracts the attention of buyers with the quality of the products used, which come directly from local farms. Raw materials are not subjected to freezing, and used only in chilled form, which allows you to save the maximum number of useful elements and not to lose taste parameters. The packaging format is also different - the semi-liquid meat mass goes on sale not in the usual paucha or metal jars, but in small tetra-packs weighing 190 g. Besides traditional poultry and pork, Bozita also produces canned food with such exotic meat for our open spaces as venison flavored jelly.

• the presence of natural meat to 95%;

Leonardo's wet food from the German company Bewital Petfood is usually classified as a superpremium class, which means high quality of the raw materials used, natural composition, lack of chemicals and preservatives. The range consists of canned and spider with poultry, fish, rabbit and offal (liver). Veterinarians are favorable to the products of this brand, noting a sufficient amount of animal protein (at least 65%), useful fiber, vitamins and minerals.

• regulates the bowels;
• for a long time causes a feeling of saturation in cats;

Judging by the reviews, the owners like the fact that Leonardo food has a rather low price compared to superpremium products of other brands, as well as the fact that even the most discerning fluffy pickups quickly switch to this type of food, despite the lack of flavor amplifiers in the composition. This is one of the best rations for young and adult cats, combining excellent German quality and affordable price.

3 Applaws

Although in Applaws pies and canned foods, the content of natural meat does not exceed 75%, according to a combination of other criteria, this food can be safely attributed to the elite category.No synthetic components are added to the preforms - there are no taste and smell activators or preservatives. Only natural meat of several varieties, vegetables and probiotics. This is one of the few manufacturers that uses brewer's yeast in a recipe. Being a great source of vitamin B, this valuable biological supplement normalizes metabolic processes in the body and helps prevent skin diseases caused by an allergic reaction.

Advantages:

• grainless composition;
• natural texture;
• different forms of release.

Disadvantages and warnings:

• not all cats like the taste of food.

Surprisingly, not all domestic animals (especially adults, which have long been accustomed to consume cheap food, stuffed with flavor enhancers) come to the delight of natural food, which does not include sugar and other harmful "goodies". Therefore, in the responses of owners, you can often find complaints that their pet refuses to accept Applaws products. But for those who since childhood has taught the cat to the correct diet, these problems do not arise.

2 Grandorf

Domestic brand Grandorf not so long ago appeared on the shelves of pet stores, but quickly became popular with the owners, carefully related to the diet of their tailed pets.

Without a doubt, Grandorf's wet food is the best Russian brand of industrial mixes, which provides not only saturation, but also the full development of a pet.

1 Almo nature

The leader of our rating is the production of the Italian company Almo Nature, which at one time became the first company to use only natural ingredients in the production of pet food.
