Things to Keep in Mind When Choosing a Cat Food

My gang of five can sure be finicky when it comes to their cat food and water! This month chewy.com sent me Science Diet Cat Food, Adult Savory Variety Pack with chicken, liver and turkey pate to try and we just couldn't wait.  I find that from time to time my cats get tired of eating the same food so I am always on the lookout for a variety pack of several different types of high-quality food that has balanced nutrition that goes into every serving. Best of all chewy has discounted this food 13%!



Benefits of Science Diet Variety Pack

  • This wet food smells good and each recipe loaded with hearty vegetables.
  • The variety pack comes in three flavors, turkey, chicken and liver so your cat will never get bored!
  • The tender pate is made with real turkey and is in a savory sauce that will tempt the most finicky cat.
  • This balanced adult cat food is recommended for cats one - six or older. It is made to promote kidney health and has to ensure easy digestion.
  • This food also contains taurine to help maintain vision and heart function and it is free of artificial flavor and preservatives.
  • This food is made in the United States and every ingredient meets strict requirements for purity and nutrient standards that exceed industry standards.


The Star System @ chewy.com

I always read what other "pet" parents have to say about items offered by chewy.com.  The Savory Turkey Entree by Science Diet got a 4.3-star rating out of 5 stars and 67 reviews.  Several reviews noted this food was a nice soft pate and that Science Diet's quality is always consistent. A negative was that some people did not like the consistency of the pate, but my cats loved its pudding-like consistency.



Things to Keep In Mind When Choosing Pet Food


  • The age of your cat dictates the type of food they should be eating.  Generally speaking, you should feed your cat kitten food for the first year and adult cat food up to 7 and older cats should have senior food to reduce the risk of kidney issues, mobility problems and other health issues associated with age.
  • It is also good to consult with your vet for your cat's nutritional needs. Some cats like my Himalayans need food to keep their coats healthy and to help with hairball control. Some cats prefer a pate (like Max) because it is a softer food that helps with dental issues and other cats need a food with fewer calories for weight control. 
  • Always start to serve a new cat food in small quantities in a clean dish to get your cat use to this change in diet.


A real perk of being a chewy customer is that items qualify for free shipping with orders of $49 or more and are delivered to your doorstep within two days.  If you subscribe to automatic shipment you save an additional 5%!
