Cat Food Recommended by our Veterinarians
Cats can be sometimes be picky eaters, however, it is still important to provide them with a healthy diet. When buying cat food, it is important to remember that cats are obligate carnivores. Foods that are heavy in grains or vegetables might contain empty calories your feline doesn't need. While dry cat foods are not necessarily unhealthy, they are heavier in calories, so it is important to keep this in mind when selecting your cat’s diet.
