What are your top priorities for a premium cat food?
My cat eats a 6-oz can of cat food a day — I’m trying to look for a good food that’s also economical. Right now he eats mostly Wellness & EVO (around $1.49-$1.60/can), but I wonder if there are less expensive but just-as-healthy alternatives. I realize that my cat eats on a budget that costs me about as much as a regular coffee does every day – but I see no harm in looking to get the best value, since there are so many choices at the pet store.
What are your top priorities in a premium cat food?
- No by-products
- No preservatives
- No artificial ingredients (including colorings, flavorings)
- No added salt/sugars
- Grain-free
- Meat as the first ingredient
Can anyone recommend some other good brands, and about how much they cost per 6-oz can?
My cats eat Wellness and Evo also.
I want to point out that you can save a lot of money continuing to feed the same brands by simply buying the larger cans. The cost per ounce comes way down.
Most cats do not like cold food. You can warm the refrigerated portion by boiling some water, taking it off the heat, then putting the can in it for about 5 minutes.
I don’t know where I put my last receipt but I am sure that the large cans of Wellness are $2.05 and the EVO, $1.79.
