Ukraine is a country where statistically the largest percentage of favorite pets are cats and dogs. Today we will talk to you about how to take care of a healthy diet, drinking regimen and healthy functioning of a cat.

Cats are fastidious animals, they are clean-loving, sharp to odors, do not accept poor quality food, dirty food, cats love cleanliness and hygiene. This is a natural factor, as well as a man with his way of keeping an animal has influenced it. Adoring cats, people gave them their apartments, houses and yards. And at the same time, they gave them their place on the “couch”.

The owners, adoring this animal, put a certain budget for its maintenance. Funds are distributed for food and treatment. If we talk about the nutrition of cats, they are usually fed with milk, cottage cheese and sour cream, kefirs, broths and meat (if we talk about natural nutrition) and dry, wet food and meat jellies. Every owner knows and understands what is best for their pet. From some we will hear that the cat adores kefir, and from others we will hear that the cat does not drink kefir at all. Someone will tell about the passion for lamb pate or rabbit pate, and another will tell that his cat likes only dry food.

Speaking of which, is this all normal? – Yes, it’s normal. Is it necessary to change the diet and is it important? – Yes, it is important. All living beings and humans have an internal system called – the body. It is due to the coordinated work of this “organism” and its internal hormonal systems that the human and animal body works. Owners should realize that important is a varied diet for the harmonious work of the hormonal system, which affects the work and health of all organs. Important is a diet full of all vitamins and trace elements. Cats need vitamins such as A, D, E, B vitamins and taurine, omega-3 and omega-6, calcium and phosphorus, biotin and zinc. So why is it so important to change cats’ diets and why is it so important to change from natural food to dry food, and dry food again to another new dry food. And all this is important for the reasons that in different feeds in the composition of different vitamins and it is necessary in order to avoid deficiency of certain vitamins, as well as oversaturation of them.

If your cat eats the same food and there are no irregularities in the diet, this is good. If you notice your cat’s reluctance to eat, it may be because the food is boring. Circumstances may or may not be such that the cat is really sick of the food, but it is better to intervene and change the diet. This is necessary for the sake of the body’s smooth functioning. The best way to change the food is to change the food lines regularly.

A branded line of feed is a set or series of feeds from the same manufacturer that are created according to a specific concept and differ in types, purpose, functionality and flavors. That’s why it’s so important to vary the types, purposes and flavors, because they are full of a variety of health benefits. Here are examples of some of the categories: by age, by breed (each food has a corresponding croquette shape and formula enriched for the needs of the breed. There are veterinary ranges that are therapeutic and supportive diets as prescribed by a veterinarian. If the cat has problems with the urinary system, add Urinary S/O to the diet, for kidney problems switch to Renal, for problems with the gastrointestinal tract – Gastrointestinal. Hypoallergenic for food allergies and Diabetic for cats with diabetes.

For domestic sedentary kitties it is better to give Indoor to improve general health, if you notice that the cat is shedding and there is a suspicion that the hair gets into the mouth when the cat eats, replace the diet for a short period of time with Hairball Care. Appetite Control is for spayed or overeating-prone kitties. If your cat has had digestive problems and is sensitive, when changing the diet add Digestive Care occasionally. Skin and coat – for a shiny coat and healthy skin. Urinary Care – to prevent problems with the genitourinary system.

Changing feeds, lines of feeds of different brands, and sometimes giving natural food is a must. It is important to take care that this does not happen quickly and suddenly, because it will be stressful for the cat and for the digestive system. Mix the previous and new food gradually, increasing gradually the amount of new food and decreasing the amount of old food. Start mixing from 75% of the old food and 25% of the new food and so change the amount until the percentages reach 100% of the new food. For better cat mood and stress relief, use new and different shaped plates and change and always put clean water in a bowl nearby. Take your time and allow your cat to adapt to the new food. Observe your pet’s condition, because even when changing to a high quality and good quality food, they may experience diarrhea, vomiting and constipation. It is also important to consider that the flavor of the feed plays an important role for feed substitution. If you are not familiar with this, you can seek advice from veterinarians and sales clerks in pet stores.
