The cat food market in 2026 is saturated with promises. "Grain-free", "Human-grade", "Organic"... How can you navigate it to ensure your cat's kidney health?
What to check on the label
-
Animal protein content: It must be the first ingredient (minimum 30-35%).
-
Ash content: If too high (> 8%), it can promote kidney stones.
-
Moisture: If you only feed kibble, your cat is chronically dehydrated. Add wet food!
Expert opinion (Animal Nutritionist)
"Grain-free isn't magic if carbohydrates are replaced with too many potatoes or peas. Always check the total carbohydrate content."
