Cat food in the test: Which food really makes our pet healthy?

Cat food in the test: Which food really makes our pet healthy?

In an exciting report, Krone+ asks which cat food is actually the best for our beloved whiskers. Many tests produce different results because there is a lack of uniform evaluation criteria. The specialist veterinarian for nutrition and dietetics, Stefanie Handl, gave interesting insights into this. To find out which product is number one, over 20 different cat foods from the market were tested. The analysis illustrates how important it is to make the right choice for the health of our cats.

Recommendations from veterinarians

An interesting aspect is why veterinarians often turn to brands like Royal Canin and Hills. According to an article on mein-katzenblog.de, this is partly due to Royal Canin's strong sales culture, which specifically targets veterinary practices and regularly provides information about innovations. This close cooperation means that veterinary practices are happy to add the products to their range and resell them to their customers. But there are also critical voices who note that many veterinarians need more in-depth nutrition training in order to make well-founded recommendations.

The debate about the quality of cat food is in full swing. While many veterinarians recommend Royal Canin, nutritionist Anifit emphasizes that there are other, healthier options. Readers should also inform themselves about the declarations of food brands and critically consider what is best for their cats, because ultimately the responsibility for ensuring a species-appropriate diet lies in the hands of the pet owners.
