Q: Are commercial pet foods goods for my?

Answer: There is often a feeding that proprietary foods are in some ways inferior to those prepared at home. However, the pet food industry is now a multi-million pound/dollar business with plenty of competition, and reputable manufacture would dare risk losing his share of the market by selling substandard products. The larger manufactures conduct a lot of research, both into basic nutrition and into the quality of their products, and they take great points to ensure that the pet foods advertised as a balanced diets do in fact contain all the nutrients known to be required and in the optimum amounts. However, there are two specific points regarding the cats: firstly, dogs food are not suitable for the feeding to cats; the level of the protein is often not high, and secondly, dry cats food may give rise to urinary problems, especially in meals.
