There is an ongoing debate among cat owners about the best diet for their pets. Some prefer feeding dry kibble because it’s convenient and considered safe, allowing it to be left out for 24 hours without spoiling. Others argue that kibble isn't ideal since cats, by nature, are carnivores, and their digestive systems are not designed to process carbohydrates efficiently.
The BARF diet (Biologically Appropriate Raw Food) consists of raw meat, bones, oils, and essential vitamins to provide a nutritionally complete meal. One key benefit is that raw food contains natural moisture, reducing concerns about a cat’s water intake. However, feeding raw food comes with risks—it must be handled and stored properly to prevent bacterial contamination or spoilage. If prepared correctly, BARF can be a great option that closely mimics a cat’s natural diet, promoting overall health and well-being.
