Many cats suffer from digestive problems. The reason for this may be the presence of hidden diseases of the digestive tract or indigestion as a result of the use of poor-quality food. As a rule, owners purchase food for pets from store shelves, completely not paying attention to the composition of the product.
Features of animal nutrition
Today in stores you can find a wide assortment of pet food in both price equivalent and taste. In addition, varieties of modern nutrition take into account even the individual characteristics of the animal. However, most of them are addictive in the cat, so we can assume that the composition contains not only natural ingredients, but also chemical additives. Some owners prefer to switch from fodder to natural products such as sausages, raw or cooked meat, milk and, of course, fish. It is worth noting that the most useful product for a cat is not even meat products, namely fish. Therefore, special foods for cats often contain the taste of fish, but are there really pieces of fish there? This remains a mystery.
Choosing a quality product for their favorite pets, many people look not only at the untwisted brand, but also at the composition itself. It would seem that the choice of food for cats is not difficult, but in reality this is not so.
Proper nutrition for cats
Food for cats with sensitive digestion should be selected based on their individual characteristics. Of course, it is better to consult a veterinarian who has the necessary knowledge and experience with various kinds of animals. After all, it is a specialist who can advise a feed that is ideal for a pet with digestive problems.
On the shelves of shops you can find a fairly extensive assortment of food for cats, including pets with individual characteristics. When choosing a product, people often do not come from the composition, but its value. For many, there is a rule according to which the higher the price, the better the product. Such an opinion is not considered correct in all situations. Of course, experimenting with the cat's digestive system is highly discouraged. However, you can purchase several small and inexpensive sachets of wet cat food with sensitive digestion. Then, according to the reaction of the cat, determine which brand is best suited for the gastrointestinal tract of the pet.
There are several varieties of food for cats with sensitive digestion:
- wet food;
- dry food;
- pate;
- food designed for cats with individual characteristics.
Dry food
If the cat has good and strong fangs, and also does not have problems with the stomach and digestion in general, then it can be offered a dry option. As a rule, cats are particularly addicted to such food and quickly eat them. This is due to the fact that the food, entering the body, swells from the fluid that is contained in the stomach. As a result, the cat has a feeling of satiety.
If you feed a cat with sensitive digestion with dry food, you can face serious consequences. The cat may well choke due to the filling of the stomach with swollen food. As a result, severe pain occurs in the projection of the stomach. This amount of food can not be digested immediately. Therefore, if the cat is experiencing digestive problems, it is advisable to forever refuse dry food.
Wet food
Wet food is considered the most favorable for cats with sensitive digestion, since it does not contain elements that cause rapid saturation. Among the main advantages, it can be distinguished that such a variant is absorbed by the body and is well digested. However, you should be careful with portions so as not to cause serious health problems in the cat. In a similar way, the “training” of the digestive tract will take place, and the cat will be full and healthy.
Pate
The paste is made with meat, fish and other ingredients. For cats with sensitive digestion, paste is an ideal option, because such food is quite easily digested and digested. Therefore, many experts advise to include paste in the diet of pets, especially with rabbit and fish.
