What is the main ingredient in dry cat food?

The main ingredient in dry cat food is usually corn, followed by meat by-products and animal digest. Corn may be listed last on the ingredient list, although it has many carbohydrates, which can be hard for your cat’s body to process.

Animal digest comes from unspecified parts of unspecified animals – yuck! It does not even have to be healthy or clean meat. When cats are in the wild, they will eat the entire animal – including the liver, kidneys, and other organs which help them digest their food.

Cats can’t digest plant material well, so it’s best to keep things simple for your pet. This is why a cat food recipe that you prepare at home will contain only the primary meat source and a little bit of additional nutritional supplement.

This is much easier for your cat’s body to process than a corn-rich diet, leading to digestive problems. Plus, you will ensure that your feline has all of its necessary nutrients with homemade food instead of relying on animal digest (um).

How old should cats be before switching?

You should never switch your cat’s food abruptly. It would be best if you made the transition gradually over time. Start by mixing a small amount of new food with their old food and slowly increasing this ratio until you only feed them the new diet.

This process can take a few weeks to complete, or even months, depending on how diligent you are. Adult cats have a harder time digesting new foods than kittens, so take your time and make the process easier for everyone.
