Have you ever wondered why there are so many different cat food formulas? Dry pellet food is usually categorized into three main types. The first is kitten formula, which contains the highest amount of protein to support growth. The second includes formulas for indoor and neutered cats, which generally have a lower carbohydrate ratio to prevent weight gain, since these cats tend to be less active.
The third type is for adult cats in general, featuring a more balanced ratio of protein and carbohydrates. Some brands offer a 50:50 ratio, while others may have more carbs than protein. However, it's important to remember that these are all dry food formulas. At BangkokCats, we recommend raw food, also known as BARF (Biologically Appropriate Raw Food), which is best for a cat’s digestive system. After all, cats are obligate carnivores by nature, meaning they don’t need carbohydrates in their diet.
