You certainly have many questions about cat food and are looking for reliable information!
That's why we created this article, in which one of Happet 's veterinarians will answer the top 5 questions about cat food.
What is the best food for cats? Is dry food harmful or beneficial? And other important questions!
Let's get started...
1- For cat food, is home-cooked food better than dry food?
This is a very common question, because some people have tried dry food and it caused problems for their pets!
But the whole idea is summed up in this type of dry food!
There are bad types that we do not recommend at all because they actually cause problems for them, such as kidney stones or urinary tract stones, etc.!
…but…
Dry food (the good kind) will always be better for them than home-cooked food!
This is because their body is made of hair and not skin like ours, so they need nutrients such as Vit. E, Omega 3, Omega 6, Omega 9, Selenium, and Biotin…
All these elements are not found in home-cooked food!
Here are 3 dry food recommendations for cats that we recommend:

This is considered a problem in itself, because the cat is not getting all the nutrients it needs, but the solution to this problem is easy and simple!
The idea of organizing meal times…
That means you put the food you want her to eat for a specific time for 10 minutes and then you remove it whether she eats or not!
Then put it after a while, and every now and then she will start eating.
3- What happens if a cat eats a lot of dry food? Is dry food harmful to cats?
Dry food naturally expands and swells with water. If you put a lot of food in, the cat will eat a lot and the food will swell in its stomach and it will vomit, so try to make the amount of food appropriate.
Dry food is very safe for cats and dogs!
4- What food should I not give to cats?
Chocolate
Chocolate is rich in a substance called Theobromine, and that’s the problem… because it stays in the cat’s blood for 24 hours and its pancreas can’t digest it!
Be careful, as a high percentage of it may cause poisoning to the cat.
Bone
Cats love bones very much, because they smell like chicken, but!
Cats' stomachs are like small children's, their stomachs are delicate, so when they eat cooked bones, they cut into the abdominal wall, so they are forbidden to eat them.
Garlic, onion and spices
While you are eating, you find the cat wants to eat the same food as you.
But be careful, most of our food as humans contains spices, garlic and onions, and these are very harmful to cats because, as we said, they are delicate creatures.
What do garlic, onions, spices and seasonings do?
All they do is enter the red blood cells and break them, so you will notice that the pet has become weak due to anemia.
So spices, onions, garlic, bones and chocolate are harmful to cats.
5- My cat eats a lot and loses weight. I checked her and she didn’t have anything wrong!
This story probably goes back to 3 things:
1- The food itself may contain low levels of vitamins!
Vitamins increase the rate of food conversion in the body and make the body benefit from food.
In this case, we resort to an appetite stimulant that allows the cat's body to benefit from all the food elements, such as: Sanal, Canina V25, Canilatine, A plus B.
2- The cat's psychological state as well!
Cats are negatively affected if you leave them and travel, do not stay with them, or change the place where they live.
3- Worms
One of the most common causes of weight loss despite eating a lot is worms. The solution is simple: a Drontal tablet, and the matter is over.
Order all your cat's medical supplies, including medicines, supplements, and more, from Habit Pharmacy and have them delivered to your doorstep.
