Dry foods are usually the most economical and easiest for you to feed and store. Dry cat food can be left out all day for your cat to nibble on and is beneficial for their teeth and gums. What's key is the amount you feed your furry companion, as pet obesity is rapidly on the rise. Common symptoms include, lethargy, aggressive or hyperactive behaviour, chronic skin and ear problems, slime and jelly being passed with the stools, and flatulence, bloating and weight gain or loss. Food for senior cats, usually defined as over seven years of age, should contain less protein, with high quality ingredients. Some manufacturers produce frozen and freeze-dried raw cat food in both complete and complementary varieties, and the PFMA states that commercially prepared raw cat food marked as ‘complete’ has been formulated to provide the nutritional balance a cat needs in its daily diet, so if you are keen to switch, this is a safer bet.We know you love to pamper your pets - so let us help you to provide them with their favourite food for less when you head in-store.

If you do choose this option, look for a supplier who is a member of UK Petfood ( https://www.ukpetfood.org/), (formerly the Pet Food Manufacturer’s Association) so that you can be sure that certain standards are adhered to. Can I feed my cat on home-prepared food?Many people feed their cats dry food ad libitum, continually topping up the food in the bowl, and leaving it out all the time. While this may be acceptable with lean cats, with the increasing incidence of overweight cats, this is not always recommended: instead, offer your cat frequent smaller meals (up to four meals a day) and feed small amounts each time. Wet (or moist) food tends to be more palatable than dry food, and a wet diet increases a cat’s fluid intake, which is recommended by vets for cats with a number of health issues. Alternatively, you can offer your cat a daily dental chew, or daily toothbrushing is the ideal if you can train your cat to tolerate this attention. Is it worth paying more for expensive cat food? Of course, it can be easy to overspend when seeking out the perfect meals for your pets. They’re your beloved family members, after all. This is why B&M offers a broad selection of excellent dry cat food for the lowest possible price at all times.
