Cats are obligate carnivores, meaning their bodies require high-quality meat to thrive. It’s not just a preference - it’s a biological necessity. Over millions of years, their digestive systems have evolved to extract essential nutrients exclusively from animal meat.
Unfortunately, many commercial cat foods are packed with ingredients that don’t meet their dietary needs, like animal derivatives, grains and fillers.
The quality of your cat’s diet directly affects their health and longevity. A species-appropriate diet can lead to higher energy levels, a shinier coat, improved digestion, a stronger immune system and even cleaner litter boxes.
On the other hand, poor-quality ingredients can contribute to obesity, diabetes, urinary tract issues and dental disease. Simply put, better food leads to a healthier, happier cat.
We assign scores to cat food brands based on their Trustpilot ratings, converted to a clear 0-10 scale. By using Trustpilot as our key metric, we create a level playing field where brands are evaluated through the same lens - real customer experiences.
