If you have decided that a grain-free diet is right for your cat, the next step is figuring out which ones are best. Here, we will take a look at six brands of high quality grain-free dry cat foods that are readily available at pet specialty retailers. The aim of this article is not to say that one is better than the other, as there are many high quality grain-free diets on the market. The goal, rather, is to mention the features and benefits of these foods, so that the cat owner has a place to start when choosing a grain-free diet.
Natural Balance
Though pricey, Natural Balancehas offered a consistent array of top-quality pet foods. After the massive pet food recall a couple of years ago, Natural Balancebegan to do independent laboratory tests to ensure the quality of their ingredients. The consumer never has to worry about toxic contaminants in Natural Balance pet foods.
Natural Balance offers grain-free diets in a variety of flavors, like green pea and chicken, green pea and salmon, and green pea and duck. These diets also use a limited amount of ingredients, so are perfect for cat with food allergies.
Canned cat food is an important part of any feline's diet. To compliment their dry grain-free cat foods, Natural Balance offers the same grain-free, limited ingredient diets in cans.
Wellness Core
The Wellness brand of pet foods has always represented the pinnacle of nutrition for your pet. Their Core line of grain-free cat food is no exception. Wellness Core Fish and Fowl Recipe has a very high percentage of protein at 50%. This food uses five different sources of meat protein, so that your cat can get a wide variety of nutrients.
The Core line of cat food also comes in cans. The choices include chicken and turkey, as well as a salmon, whitefish, and herring flavor.
Taste of the Wild
Taste of the Wild Rocky Mountain Feline Formula is a newer brand in the grain-free category, and cats seem to love it. There is only one formula available in both the dry and can food, so the options with this diet are limited. What Taste of the Wild lacks in variety, though, it makes up for in quality of ingredients, as the Rocky Mountain Feline Formula is made with venison and salmon. Since these are uncommon meat proteins, this food is great for cats that are prone to allergies.
Merrick B.G.
Merrick's B.G. (Before Grain) pet food line is a hit with cats and their owners alike. The Before Grain lines offers more grain-free choices for cats than most other manufacturers. With three different dry grain-free formulas, and five different cans, Merrick's B.G. line of cat food can keep even the most finicky cats satisfied.
Now!
PetCurean's Now! and Go! lines of pet food are made in British Columbia, Canada. Now! comes in a variety of flavors, and is made with only the finest and freshest ingredients. Petcurean uses as many local ingredients as possible, and is one of the most environmentally conscious pet food producers out there today. It is nice to see a company not only worry about your pet, but the whole planet as well!
It can be difficult to to find a pet food that your cat enjoys, and still provides the best nutrition. Any of these grain-free foods are an excellent choice to keep your cat healthy. Someone at your local pet specialty retailer can help you choose the grain-free diet that is best for your cat.
