What's the difference between a cat staple food can and a snack can?
Canned staple food: most of them tend to be meat sauce and mousse texture, which can replace dry food as the staple food of cats, with balanced nutrition and no grain, starch and additives, but the price is relatively expensive.
Snack cans: most of them are soup cans, large pieces of meat and shredded pork, and some of them have obvious gum. The nutritional value is not high, it can only be used as daily water supplement, not as staple food, and the price is relatively cheap.
How to choose canned staple food?
Look at the ingredient list
Meat (the higher the content, the better): the muscles, heart, lungs, stomach and sandbags of poultry.
Viscera (proper amount of viscera, containing more phosphorus than meat, but some canned food will contain viscera because it is cheap): liver, kidney, spleen, brain and pancreas.
Waist: Not the best, because cats can't digest it. Be careful that aspic is not glue.
Grain, starch: there is no best.
Vegetables: The less, the better. Nothing is the best.
Water content: water content ≤75% is large, 80% is medium, and > 80% is excessive water.
Look at the nutrients:
Crude protein dry basis ≥ 50%, wet basis ≥ 10%, and the higher the protein, the better. The lower the crude fiber, the better. A small amount of crude fiber can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, and too high will make the stool soft.
The following are six canned evaluations, which are for personal use only and represent personal views:
Chunfu
Beef formula:100g
Sense of personal use:
No glue, no starch, safe and clean ingredients. The meat is firm, so it can be seen that the materials are solid. Lactobacillus acidophilus is also added, which is better for the cat's stomach. Both cats in my family love palatability ~
Shi Lan
Duck bullfrog formula:100g
Sense of personal use:
There are four special flavors, all of which are rare meat sources, and their palatability is particularly good. A whole CD is in action! The aluminum film for canned food is easy to tear, and the texture of meat sauce is very dense, which is very suitable for "licking strange". Add extra Cordyceps sinensis to improve the immunity of cats.
Chongwangfu
Duck Sydney Formula: 80g
Sense of personal use:
Six flavors, a box containing more than 50 kinds of high-quality ingredients such as venison, turkey and salmon, a variety of meat sources imported from New Zealand, no food and no glue, very palatable, and a lovely cat claw spoon!
Brand soft can
Partridge flavor: 100g
Sense of personal use:
The meat content is as high as 98%. Cooking only uses pure fresh meat, without adding internal organs. The meat is dense, the palatability is excellent, and there are many flavors. To meet the needs of picky kitten taste buds, the soft bag design is convenient for feeding and carrying.
Mi Miao yanjiu she
Turkey formula: 85g
Sense of personal use:
A single meat source is not easy to be allergic, and cats with glass stomachs can rest assured of the texture of mousse. Add extra collagen and various nutritional factors (taurine, vitamins, calcium, iron and zinc) to nourish long meat!
Hemp ball theory
Tuna formula:100g
Sense of personal use:
A formula with bones, flesh and viscera and comprehensive nutrition. The meat is loose and soft. It's dense, and it's more convenient for cats to lick it. No additives, no meat powder and no grain, which will not increase the gastrointestinal burden of hairy children.
