Find High Quality Dry Cat Food

• Feed your feline friend a high quality dry cat food. Proper diet can reduce or eliminate the need for veterinary care. Healthy cats do not get sick as often. Good nutrition plays a vital role in the longevity of your kitty's health because strong felines live longer. The best cat food is more expensive than cheap brands, but you get what you pay for and you are making an investment in your pet's future. When looking at the list of ingredients look for specific whole foods that say chicken, meat or fish rather than chicken by-product or beef by-product. Buy cat food that does not contain by-products. You want to give your cat the real thing, rather than leftover parts. By-products are not as healthy as the meat in the breast or thighs. See if the cat food contains taurine. Taurine is an essential amino acid that is very beneficial for energy and stamina. The brand you choose should also contain a balance of other foods such as corn, wheat, rice, and healthy fats. Some foods have omega 3 fatty acids added to them. This fat is vital for eye, brain, coat and skin health.
  
  Read cat food labels and ask other pet owners for food recommendations. You want to find high quality food that does not contain additives or by-products.
  
  

Give your Kitty Raw Meat and Eggs

• Feed your cat raw meat and eggs. How often you feed your cat raw foods really depends on your felines individual preference. Some people feed their cats raw foods two times per week. Cats have been eating raw foods for thousands of years. In the wild, felines hunt and eat their food with no cooking involved. Humans feel the need to cook food for cats, but healthy felines can eat raw food without any problems because this is how they have adapted over generations. Feed your kitty raw foods like raw fish, eggs, chicken, and beef.
  
  

Be sure your cat is Hydrated

• Give your cat water every day. Water is an essential component for a healthy diet. Water is needed for transportation and absorption of nutrients. Water carries nutrients to cells and aids in digestion. Just like humans need pure water to drink, so do cats. Municipal water sources from the tap usually contain chlorine which is not good for a cats urinary tract. Your cat needs to drink chlorine free water or water that has been filtered. Chlorine was not found in nature over the last few thousand years so cats have not adapted to ingesting it. To safeguard your cats health, avoid giving him or her water from the tap.
