Healthiest Wet Cat Foods for All Life Stages

Last Updated on January 13, 2023 by ellen

After our vet recommended our cats eat wet food, I’ve been doing some research on the healthiest wet cat foods. Scout has a tendency toward urinary and kidney infections. So, it’s important that he gets as much added water during the day as possible. One of the ways we can help is by feeding a wet cat food.

So, how did I evaluate the different choices? One of the most important considerations in choosing the healthiest wet cat foods is the quality of the ingredients that go into the food. Obviously, we want our cats to be eating foods they need to stay healthy. A holistic wet cat food is a perfect option.

What does holistic cat food mean?

In most cases, the word holistic on a pet food means that there are no by-products added to the food that your pet does not need. A few examples of these are things like corn, fillers, and grains. Look for cat foods that are labeled grain free and gluten free as a good place to start.

Can I feed my cat human food?

Some people feel that the best way to ensure their cats are getting healthy food is by feeding them people food. Unfortunately, in many cases, this is just not true. Cats are carnivores. They eat meat and do not need other types of foods for the most part. Most of your cat’s diet should be a healthy cat food. You can share the occasional human food as a treat including things like cooked salmon, cooked egg, and cooked pumpkin puree.

Is canned food good for cats?

When choosing your cat’s food, keep in mind that it is the quality of the ingredients that matters. Whether the food comes in a can, pouch or bag is not as important as the ingredients that are in the food.

What is the healthiest cat food?

We’ve given Scout and Heather Solid Gold cat foods several times now. We fed it after Scout came home from the hospital and when we had a chance to try the grain free cat goody box. We recently had the opportunity to try the Sold Gold Holistic Delights cat foods. This holistic cat food is both grain and gluten-free and is good for cats of all life stages. You can find it on Chewy.com.

You can purchase the variety pack of this holistic cat food and receive flavors including salmon, tuna, crab, beef, chicken, and shrimp. Each is made with coconut milk and has a smooth, creamy bisque consistency. If you want a firmer consistency, you can try the Triple Layer food from Solid Cold.

At Scout and Heather’s weights, they would eat about 4 pouches per day. A kitten or smaller cat would eat fewer and a larger cat would eat more. The range would be between 2 and 6 pouches per day. That means for one cat, a variety pack of 12 pouches would last less than a week. So, you might want to supplement this with good quality freeze-dried food or some healthy human treats.
