Liquid food for cats - rating of the best: Review + Video

What wet food to buy for a cat

The first thing you need to pay attention to when choosing wet food for your pet is its composition. The packaging must list all the ingredients included in the formula. In economy class feed, the protein content is reduced, and in addition to meat, by-products are added to the composition. The higher the protein content and the better its quality, the better the food is considered.

Chicken is not recommended for cats prone to allergies. It is better for them to buy canned fish, turkey or lamb.

Rice is the most common carbohydrate. It is nutritious and has a good effect on the digestive process. But corn, soy, flavorings and flavor enhancers are undesirable. They are difficult to digest and often cause food intolerances. The amount of preservatives is determined by the shelf life of the product. The shorter it is, the fewer stabilizing components it contains.

After castration and sterilization, diets with reduced calorie content are recommended to reduce the likelihood of your pet gaining excess weight. Also in these feeds the amount of calcium, magnesium and phosphorus is reduced, the excess of which leads to urolithiasis.

Owners of long-haired cats are recommended diets rich in fatty acids and aimed at improving the condition of the skin and coat.

Results

From the reviews of veterinarians it follows that an important parameter when choosing wet bark is the country of manufacture (Denmark, Canada, Great Britain, Germany, USA). And it doesn’t matter that most types can be obtained to order and the pet will have to wait until a holistic specialist is brought to him. But this food can be eaten by a person himself, so take it for yourself right away: Cimiao Delicious, Chicken Soup for the Soul, Indoor (Royal Canin must not be produced in Russia), Innova Cat and Kitten. The premium class is represented by Happy Cat, Purina Pro Plan, Akana, Bosch, Hills food.

The customer review site (54 people) recommends “simply wonderful”, “masterpiece”, “the best possible”, “the envy of your pet” among liquid cat food. A rich assortment of canned food and packages, natural ingredients, and a reasonable price (100 g – 100 rubles) will appeal to both picky eaters and as rehabilitation nutrition.

Pros and cons of wet food

There are three types of cat food. One is based on the consumption of natural food, which the person himself eats. The other two are commercial dry and wet food that are sold in pet stores.

Cat health is the result of proper nutrition

Pros of wet food

Main advantages:

• Diet variety. High-quality food can be made from meat, poultry or fish, and also contain additives in the form of crab meat, shrimp, vegetables and fruits. You should only experiment with exotic treats if your cat is not allergic.
• Source of protein and fat. A cat's diet should include plenty of protein and fat to meet the animal's needs.
• Large amount of moisture. Dry food is only 10% moisture, so it is important to make sure your cat drinks enough water. When feeding moist (wet) food, which is 75% water, this is not necessary.
• Nutrients and taste appeal. Liquid cat food is less heat-processed. This retains more nutrients and has less impact on taste.
• Portioning. One sachet of wet product is designed for a single meal for an adult cat weighing 5-7 kg.
• Preventing overeating. Cats eat less when fed high-protein wet food, as it helps keep your pet well-fed.

Cat obesity as a result of overeating

Note! For sterilized cats, the number of kilocalories in the diet changes.

Flaws

There are fewer disadvantages to wet food than disadvantages:

• Price. Costs more than dry.
• Deterioration of the oral cavity. Long-term use leads to bad breath. Because the texture of the food is soft, it does not work as a toothbrush and does not prevent plaque and tartar buildup. In this case, the owner must monitor the cat’s oral hygiene himself using a special toothbrush and toothpaste.
• Perishable product. Wet food in a bag or bowl can stand at room temperature for no more than two hours, after which the contents are no longer suitable for feeding.

Veterinarians do not recommend basing your cat's diet solely on wet food. Only a combination of dry and wet gives a diet as close as possible to natural in nature.

Feeds are ranked by class: from economy to super premium. The difference comes down to the composition of the canned food for cats - the quality rating is presented below.

Important! You should not mix food from different manufacturers.

Comparison of wet and dry food

Wet food is produced in pieces in gravy, which is why it is called that, while dry food is produced in solid form.

Here are the advantages and disadvantages of each type of food:

To summarize, we can say that the best choice would be to alternate between different types of feed. On the road it will be most convenient to be dry, and at home – wet.

Types of hypoallergenic food

Allergies vary from person to person, and cats can react to a variety of foods. Therefore, several groups are distinguished among hypoallergenic foods.

1. Gluten-free or grain-free. Very often, allergies in cats are caused by gluten, so this group of foods is the most common. This element is found in wheat, corn and other grains. Accordingly, grain-free food either does not contain plant proteins at all, or rice and oats are added instead.
2. Allergies are often caused by animal protein found in red meat or chicken. Therefore, hypoallergenic food is made based on other easily digestible types of meat: duck, rabbit, turkey, fish. There are foods with one type of meat - monoprotein.
3. If your pet is lactose sensitive, you should choose a food that is labeled “limited ingredients.”

Advice! Cats with food allergies are recommended to be fed at least premium food. This is due to the fact that the quality of raw materials in such feeds is much better.

Both dry and wet food have their advantages and disadvantages. To choose the best food for your pet, you should take into account its age and individual needs. It would be a good idea to consult a veterinarian.

Best Wet Food for Neutered Cats

This category of wet cat food rating includes two food items, each of which is of high quality and safe for animals. This product should not contain many calories to avoid the accumulation of fatty tissue in your pet.

Royal Canin Neutered Weight Balance

...I have been giving this food to my cat for six months or more, he is already old, he is more than 5 years old. His body reacts normally, diarrhea does not occur, as with many other foods... Expert opinion

The popularity of this cat food is due to its naturalness, safety for a neutered animal and low calorie content. The pet does not recover very much from it and does not get used to this diet even for a long time due to the absence of harmful additives. Taking it minimizes the likelihood of crystal formation in the urinary tract. The maximum daily intake is from 200 to 670 g, depending on the weight of your pet.

Advantages

• Low carbohydrates and high proteins;
• High concentration of fatty acids;
• High content of antioxidants;
• Made from pure poultry and pork with the addition of liver;
• Does not spread;
• Nice smell.

Flaws

• High price;
• It is not always sold in ordinary supermarkets.

Canned food Perfect Fit Sterile for neutered cats, chicken in sauce

Judging by the reaction of cats, this is one of the most delicious wet cat foods in the rating, produced in pouches. It smells like cold cuts and is actually over 50% meat. The rest is taken up by natural by-products and grains, vitamins and minerals. This combination allows the animal not only to quickly fill up, but also to fully satisfy the body’s needs for nutrients. 100 g of product contains 68 kcal, so there can be no talk of fat in it. Its main advantage is the ability to use immediately after castration.

Advantages

• Prepared without adding soy;
• Does not contain GMOs;
• No dyes used;
• Inexpensive;
• Small pieces;
• Can be given at different ages;
• Maintains normal urine pH levels.

Flaws

• Cannot be kept open for a long time.

Canned food “Perfect Fit Sterile” does not bother cats for a long time, but when trying to switch them to another food, problems usually do not arise.

Helpful tips when choosing

When choosing liquid food, consider the following:

• — minimum premium purchase;
• — canned food from tin industrial containers should be placed in a glass or plastic container with a lid; possible oxidation of the food can lead to food poisoning and disorder;
• - open spiders and canned food are eaten and stored for 2 days;
• — an opened spider quickly becomes weathered and loses all its beneficial properties within 1-2 hours;
• - the first signs of unsuitable nutrition - itching, diarrhea, vomiting - their presence leads to the need to change food. If the cat stops eating liquid food, the owner will have to replace it.

All cats eat wet food with great pleasure. When the time comes for the transition to “table” natural food, the owner is faced with a problem - the pet is not ready for regular food and is accustomed to canned food.

Just stop buying and putting it from a jar into a bowl, wait (3-4 days) for him to start eating natural food. Do not give in to the cat and hold your line; the animal will definitely change its eating habits. Wet food can also be prepared at home. To do this, you can finely chop or grate lean chicken or turkey meat, pour in a small amount of boiling water and wait 10 minutes; if there is a side dish of rice or buckwheat left, add it. Once it cools down, you can serve it. If you don’t have time to prepare at all, you should buy baby meat or fish food (70 rubles per 100 g) - it is without spices, salt and completely safe.

Types of wet food for kittens

1. Mousse. The manufacturer grinds the components until smooth. The mousse has a light texture and airiness. These foods are ideal for small kittens who are just weaning off their mother's milk. They will not cause digestive upset even in animals with pathologies.
2. Pate. The ingredients are crushed, but the texture is coarser than mousse.
   Pates are also good for small kittens. They put more strain on the gastrointestinal tract, but do not cause further upset due to getting used to the soft consistency. Pates contain less liquid than mousses.
3. Chopped meat. In the case of economy-class feed, this is not full-fledged meat, but compressed fibers that are more reminiscent of soybeans. Whole pieces can be given to older kittens (after 4-6 weeks) who can already chew.
4. Lump canned food. They are a coarser variation of wet food. Can be used at the final stage before transferring to granules.

It is not recommended to give your kitten too soft mousses all the time, because... this will lead to problems with food selection in the future.

Classes of wet food for kittens

There is no single official division.

Conventionally, there are 4 classes of food: economy, premium, superpremium and holistic.

Let's look at each category separately.

Economy class food is the worst among ready-made diets. Cheap raw materials are used in their production. Most often this is waste: feathers, bones, beaks, etc. The proportion of meat is minimal, most of the composition is occupied by water and grains. These foods can only be called nutritious: they contain proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals, but they are practically not digestible. Kittens should not be given such diets, as they can provoke the development of pathologies.

Economy-class food does not allow the kitten’s gastrointestinal tract to develop normally, which is why it cannot subsequently eat high-quality diets or has difficulty switching to them.

Premium food is not much different from budget products. The meat content in them reaches 20% instead of 10%, but this is still not enough. In general, the quality of raw materials leaves much to be desired, but there are some acceptable items. These can be whole chicken carcasses, fish oil or good offal - liver, lung, hearts, etc. However, premium food is also not suitable for regular nutrition.

A distinctive feature of premium food is aggressive advertising, due to which many pet owners mistakenly consider diets in this category to be the best.

Super premium diets are a more acceptable option. Among them there are grain-free pates and pouches. If the composition contains vegetables and fruits, then their variety is indicated. The share of herbal supplements is lower. Manufacturers use high-quality raw materials and specify their type. Super premium feeds do not contain such common names as “bird”, “fish”, etc.

The cost of super premium food often does not exceed the price of premium diets, but in terms of quality the difference is colossal.

Holistics are elite diets that contain only the best products. If this is a fish, then it must be raised in the wild. If it's a bird, then it's free-range. No hormones are used in raising animals. Herbal ingredients are minimally processed. The information indicated on the packaging is always true, as confirmed by Roskachestvo research.

Holistic products are almost impossible to purchase in pet stores; they have to be ordered online, but it’s worth it

Economy

Economy class has aggressive advertising, but almost zero nutritional value. Most representatives contain sugars, dyes and potentially dangerous preservatives. Often the proportion of fat is lower than stated, which can cause disorders of the nervous system and weakness in kittens. Such foods most often contain more grains and water than meat, so their presence on the menu is impractical. Economy class recipes do not meet the natural needs of pets.

Economy class food is easy to recognize: most brands can be seen on TV screens and on the shelves of hypermarkets.

Systematic feeding of low-quality feed is fraught with many problems. After eating such foods, kittens often refuse other food. I don’t know what manufacturers add to wet food, but I personally had the opportunity to wean my pet off Whiskas and Friskies diets. I gave them to my kitten unknowingly until I visited the veterinarian for preventive vaccination. My pet starved for 3 days, but did not approach the food bowl until he realized that I would not give him any other food. This is despite the fact that I did not switch it abruptly, but mixed different foods. Judging by other people's reviews, I was lucky. Many people experience problems with the bladder, kidneys and pancreas after eating economy food.

Whiskas

The most popular and advertised food. Its price suits the owners, but veterinarians advise avoiding such food. These foods have high nutritional value and are also affordable – that’s where their advantages end. Among the disadvantages, the high content of wheat, which in itself is a strong allergen for cats, the almost complete absence of meat (no more than 5%) and its dubious origin stand out.

Our Brand

One of the best economy-class food, sometimes classified as premium. They have a high percentage of animal protein in their category, a low price, and contain a prebiotic. The main disadvantage is the basis of the feed. This is corn, which is considered a strong cat allergen. The second significant drawback is bird meal.

Felix Appetizing pieces

The food is distinguished by the absence of cereals and its relatively low price. At the same time, it is made from by-products and processed meat products of questionable quality, and contains dyes and sugars.

Premium

Premium class, despite the name, is little better than budget food. It differs from the latter in its increased meat content: on average 10–20% versus 4%. Considering that in most cases, not fillets are used, but whole carcasses or, even worse, mixtures of unclaimed offal, the share of high-quality proteins is actually lower. Many premium kitten foods contain grains. Sometimes there are exceptions, but then other products act as filler.

Royal Canin is a classic representative of the premium class and, despite the assurances of the manufacturer and representatives, this food should not be given to a kitten

Premium class is conditionally suitable for feeding kittens, but these diets are best avoided. A friend of mine gave her kitten Royal Canin spiders. This is a well-known brand that is famous for its healing diets, so many people trust it. At first everything was fine, but closer to the year the cat was diagnosed with urolithiasis. And this is far from the only problem that animal owners may face. Most often, pets develop allergies to bird protein and grains.

Dr. Clauder's Anti Struvit diet

The food is intended for the prevention of urolithiasis. The composition contains a high percentage of protein, and among cereals - only rice. A significant disadvantage is the high cost in its category.

Animonda

Canned food produced by a German manufacturer. There are no artificial colors or preservatives, sugars, grains, or soy. Suitable for kittens of all ages. It is made from offal and has a fairly high price.

Hill's

An American company that produces several lines of food - for the prevention of diseases and for the daily diet. It has a relatively low price in its category, but this is due to the presence of cereals and vegetable protein in the composition.

Super premium

Super-premium wet food consists primarily of high-quality meat products. Cereal additives are extremely rare in them, but if they are present, the manufacturer will certainly indicate the type of grain. Companies often specify the percentage of components. Manufacturers indicate not only the type of meat, but also the type of offal. The ingredients are used either fresh or raw, i.e. they are not subjected to repeated freezing and additional processing. Companies often clarify that they do not add whole carcasses to the feed, but pure meat or fillets.

Bozita is not the most popular brand, but it is one of those that can be recommended for purchase

Super-premium food is the most acceptable option for kittens in terms of price-quality ratio. This is the most budget-friendly food for a pet. Such diets do not cause the development of pathologies and help maintain optimal health of the animal. Only the holistic category is better than this class, but representatives of the latter group are expensive and are not always suitable for pets.

Leonardo

German food of natural origin, one of the five best options. The basis of the composition is chicken meat (about 80%), the rest comes from fish, fish oil, and offal. Tocopherols, which have the biological activity of vitamin E, are used as a preservative. It is not sold at retail everywhere, so it forces owners to order it in large quantities through online stores.

Applaws

Feed produced according to European quality standards. Made in the UK. Grains and gluten are completely excluded from the composition, which are replaced by easily digestible potatoes. High percentage of natural meat content. In addition, the feed has a relatively low price for its level. The main disadvantage is the same as for all canned goods in this class.

GimCat

Food for picky teenage kittens and adult cats. Consists of whole pieces of meat or fish with the addition of papaya and mango. Of the cereal crops, only rice is included. They have the lowest cost in their price category while maintaining quality standards. In addition to the difficulty in purchasing, they have such a disadvantage as a short shelf life after opening the can - no more than a day.

Holistic

Holistic class is the elite among cat foods. Manufacturers do not skimp on ingredients, so the proportion of liquid is relatively low, but sufficient for comfortable consumption (about 80%). The overwhelming majority of the composition is occupied by meat products. Most often there are several of them, which helps provide the animal’s body with various vitamins, minerals and amino acids. Useful substances are presented in their natural form. This increases their digestibility.

There is no special diet for kittens in the Grandorf wet food line, but in the case of holistic cats this is not required: due to its balanced composition, the product is suitable for any healthy animal

Holistic-grade foods often include therapeutic additives, vegetables, herbs, fruits, beans, etc. Often on the lists you can find peas, which improve digestion. Yucca extract is added to slow down the growth of bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract. This helps reduce the smell of feces. A friend of mine, when she transferred her kitten from economy class to holistic, immediately noted this advantage. However, the opposite situation is also possible: kittens that have been fed cheap foods with grains for a long time often experience indigestion when switching to meat diets. It is important to take a small portion to observe the animal’s reaction, and if problems arise, first transfer the pet to the super-premium class.

Table: overview of popular wet foods for kittens

Types of feed

Economy class

Represented by the brands Friskies, Whiskas, Felix, Kitekat, Darling, Doctor Zu, Meow. The opinion of veterinarians about them is unequivocal: the low meat content and the presence of soy protein can fill the stomach for a short time, deceive it and dull the feeling of hunger. Also present are cereals (their quality and quantity are hidden from the buyer), brewer's yeast, and taurine. The protein in Whiskas is about 8.5% and its origin (animal or plant) is unknown. Comparing economy class food is equivalent to feeding a person fast food. Its only advantage is its low price (20 rubles per 70 g).

What do veterinarians think a pet should eat for a long, happy, active life? All rated brands are represented by food starting with premium. The list recommended by them opens with the British spider Applawls, its composition contains 12.5% ​​animal protein, and additional substances include fiber, microelements and organic compounds obtained from natural vegetables and fruits. The tastes of Aplous are varied, preservatives, dyes and flavors are completely excluded from the content. The price of such food is high, for a 70 g bag - 90 rubles. Purchase in ordinary stores is excluded, the composition is not balanced.

Bozita - food from Sweden

Feed that has passed state control and excludes the presence of hazardous substances for the animal’s body. The main component and taste are rabbit and fish. There are no by-products at all. A 370 g jar costs about 158 ​​rubles. Of the minuses, the corn and wheat included in the content are noted. The specific antioxidants used are not specified.

Grandorf canned food (made in Italy), made from chicken breast, supplemented with a natural preservative, a complex of vitamins and minerals. Feature – does not contain allergenic chicken ingredients of protein origin, soy, grains. It is not widely used due to its high cost - 90 rubles for 70 g.

German Leonardo

The next type of liquid food is the German Leonardo (it is considered a delicacy due to its imbalance), combining 70-90% chicken meat and 30-10% components from seafood, fish, fish oil, and offal. Leonardo is good; production uses only the highest quality products, supplemented with minerals and vitamins. The price for 400 g is about 130 rubles, the preservative in the composition is of natural origin. The disadvantage of the food is that it is not available in regular stores; also, due to the rich meat content, it is not suitable for animals with gastrointestinal diseases.

Innova Evo

Continues the rating of the best wet food, produced by American. Highly nutritious and hypoallergenic canned food Innova Evo is made from the best fish and meat products, protein is only animal type, there are no preservatives, dyes, or flavors. The food is recommended for spayed and neutered pets, ensuring the prevention of urolithiasis. Among the minuses, sales via the Internet and cost are noted.

Babies are offered liquid food from the holistic class under the trade name Almo Nature; it is produced in a number of European countries. The main taste is chicken (imperial chicken), there are additives in the form of shrimp, mango, pineapple or cheese. Protein content – ​​16%, moisture – 79%, fats and carbohydrates – up to 1%. An amazing method of preparation (raw ingredients are packaged and heat-treated already in the package) provides a delicate taste and aroma, preserving all the beneficial qualities. The disadvantages are the lack of widespread sale and the price (91 rubles per package of 70 g).

1Choice food from Canada

It is also famous for its natural taste and composition, optimal ratio of proteins and fats, probiotic supplements for excellent digestion and shiny long coat, recommendations of the best overseas veterinarians. The main component is tuna, combined with seafood or fruit (for kittens - only fish). The high price (75-90 rubles per serving) and not widespread are the main disadvantages of this type of food.

Food of American origin and Thai production Petite cuisine, which is again not cheap (55 g will cost 74-91 rubles) and is not in wide demand, has a good reputation. But it has a high content of chicken and fish (salmon, swordfish, tuna, shrimp) and is completely free of gluten, GMOs, and grains. A distinctive feature is steam cooking, which preserves taste and nutritional value. The manufacturer calls his creation an exclusive delicacy.

What is the difference between wet food for kittens and diets for adult cats?

Wet food for kittens contains more fat and protein, as well as increased concentrations of phosphorus, calcium and magnesium. The difference is due to the characteristics of the body: babies require nutrients for the rapid development of internal organs.

Kitten foods can be dangerous for adult cats. The latter, with poor nutrition, are at risk of developing obesity, diabetes and urolithiasis. Absolutely healthy kittens can eat high-quality wet food for adult cats without negative consequences, but with the slightest deviation from the norm there is a chance of worsening the condition, so experimenting is not recommended. There are universal wet foods that are suitable for both babies and mature animals.

Reviews from veterinarians about wet food for kittens

Royal Canin food is made from quality ingredients, but not all ingredients are suitable for feeding cats. The main disadvantage is the presence of plant proteins, which are digested 30% worse than animals. Cereals are responsible for the carbohydrate component, and soybean oil is responsible for the fats. The food turns out to be balanced, but not very healthy, not the most nutritious. The manufacturer solved this problem by adding vitamins, minerals and other beneficial substances. The result is food on which animals feel great and lead an active lifestyle at any age. It is interesting that according to Russian standards the food falls into the premium category, but according to European standards it falls short. It is better to buy food produced abroad. Despite the fact that in Russia they are manufactured under license using good equipment, they are inferior to the original. I would like to draw your attention to the availability of an analogue of cat milk for feeding kittens. In the future, they do not lag behind ordinary kittens in development.

Pavlovskaya Ekaterina Viktorovna

Hills is the true premium segment. I can’t call it very nutritious, the energy value is average. The specified daily allowance may not be enough; pets feel hungry. However, the food is completely balanced and complete. You can make it the basis of your diet without fear for your health. A significant disadvantage is the overuse of difficult-to-digest carbohydrates.

Pavlovskaya Ekaterina Viktorovna

"Aplaus" is a VIP-level food, the high quality of which can be judged by the fact that the recipe and manufacturing technology were developed by scientists from the Institute of Nutrition of Great Britain. The manufacturer’s strong point is the absence of cereals and sources of gluten in the feed, both dry and wet. Which causes in animals not only dermatoallergy in the form of dandruff and hair loss, but also swelling and ulceration of the mucous membranes of internal organs. There is no need to write about the assortment, it is wide, there is a diet for all age categories of cats. And not only healthy ones, but also those with problems with digestion and the genitourinary system. The food is optimally balanced and includes a high content of animal products - sources of protein, vitamins, essential amino acids and fiber in sufficient quantities.
