Why Choosing Dry Cat Food Matters More Than You Think

Anyone who lives with a cat knows that “cats are not like dogs”, in how they eat and in how they digest. Some are picky eaters, some are sensitive, some have dull skin or shed a lot, and some may have trouble with their litter box habits. That is why choosing a truly good-quality cat food matters so much.

Today, more cat parents are choosing holistic-grade dry cat food (Holistic Grade). Makers use the term for recipes designed with whole-body health in mind, not just to fill cats up (it is not an official grade set by any authority, so check the ingredients and label too). And if you want to choose even better, look for a recipe that uses “fresh real meat as the main ingredient”, another key point pet parents should not overlook. If you are looking for a food that

✔️ uses real meat as the main ingredient
✔️ contains no by-products (animal by-products)
✔️ is easy to digest and gentle on the tummy
✔️ is a holistic-grade dry food
✔️ focuses on whole-body health (skin, coat, gut)

then Deserve Holistic Grain Free dry cat food is one of the choices that fits the bill, because Deserve Holistic Grain Free is a dry food for adult cats of all breeds.

Frequently asked questions

Can cats eat dog food instead of cat food?

Not as a regular diet. Cats need more of, or different, nutrients than dogs — such as protein, taurine, preformed vitamin A and arachidonic acid — so cats fed dog diets can develop nutritional deficiencies.

What is taurine and why do cats need it from food?

Taurine is an amino acid cats must get from their diet, and plant proteins contain none. Taurine deficiency can cause heart muscle disease (dilated cardiomyopathy) and retinal degeneration, which is one reason cats need animal-based protein or added taurine.

What should I check on the label when choosing dry cat food?

Check that it is a ‘complete’ food with an AAFCO nutritional adequacy statement and that it names the life stage it is made for, such as kitten or adult. Reading the nutrition label is the clearest way to compare foods.

How do I switch my cat’s food without causing an upset stomach?

Change slowly: offer the new food next to the old one and gradually reduce the old food as the new one is accepted. This helps avoid digestive upsets. If vomiting or diarrhea happens during the switch, consult your vet.
