Fibre for Felines: Finding the Right Balance in Your Cat's Diet
If your cat needs a little extra fibre, you might be navigating a common challenge in feline nutrition! While our Untamed wet food focuses on species-appropriate, meat-rich diets, we understand that some cats benefit from additional fibre. Let's explore how to find the right balance for your furry friend.
The Fibre Challenge in Cat Food
It's generally challenging to find wet cat food that is both high in fibre and truly "species-appropriate." This is because high fibre often comes from vegetables, and vegetables, due to their carbohydrate content, aren't always the most natural fit for a cat's carnivorous diet.
Dry foods, however, have more flexibility in their composition due to their physical processing. This allows some dry food brands to include beneficial fibre while still managing the overall carbohydrate load.
Combining Untamed with a High-Fibre Dry Food
Many of our customers find success by pairing our nutritious wet food with a high-fibre dry food. This approach allows your cat to enjoy the benefits of our healthy, whole-meat wet food while getting the extra fibre they need from their dry food.
This combination allows the dry food to provide the necessary high fibre intake, while our wet food delivers a daily dose of healthy, whole-meat goodness that covers the rest of their nutritional needs.
Always consult your veterinarian for personalised dietary advice, especially if your cat has specific health concerns that require a high-fibre diet. They can help you determine the best approach for your cat's unique needs.
