Although it's quick and easy to grab a few cans of food off the shelf at the supermarket, there is no guarantee on the nutritional content or actual ingredients your cat will be eating. You wouldn't want your beloved pet to survive on offal or live out of a garbage can, yet so many owners ignore the facts about canned food because it is the simple choice. Preparing meals from cat food recipes only takes a little time and what you get in return is the re-assurance that your beloved pet is receiving all the vitamins, minerals, fiber and antioxidants to live a long, happy and healthy life.

Any vet will advise all pet owners to avoid pet food that is pre-prepared in a tin. The fact that these products mostly contain water, fillers and offal means they leave a lot to be desired when it comes to nutritional content. It is a fact that cats who eat only tinned food defecate more frequently and often have loose or runny stools. Tinned food also sets the felines digestional tract up for bacterial imbalances and fungal overgrowth which often results in other health issues if allowed to flourish for an extended period of time. It is for these reasons that vets will recommend a diet of mostly dry food combined with some good cat food recipes for one meal per day.

Before you read any further, take a moment to consider how you would feel if you ate only food from a can: Malnourished? Constipated? Low in energy? Irritable and depressed? The truth is that you wouldn't do it to yourself, so why would you allow it for your pet? The idea of this article is not to make you feel inadequate as a pet owner, the truth being that 95% of American pet owners choose canned food as the primary diet for their cats. The purpose here is to make you aware of the problems associated with canned food, so you can protect your beloved pets. Countless tests have been done over the years on the contents of some commercial canned food with shocking results showing them to contain such things as sheep guts, cow brains, fecal matter, rancid grains, chicken heads and feet and even a variety of road kill! Meat meal, which is ground by-products from slaughterhouses and even euthanized pet parts have also been discovered, and any item that would otherwise be nutritious such as vegetables and grains are often included but are commonly moldy and rancid. The good news is, you can avoid this. Imagine cooking that cat food recipe up in your kitchen for your precious companion to eat every day!

The guide for feeding all pets should always take into consideration the types of food they would naturally eat when living in the wild, and for cats this includes fresh meat and grains, no fecal matter and no mold spores! Cats have a natural instinct when it comes to determining what foods will be of benefit and what could potentially make them ill, however commercial cat food manufacturers have employed scientists for decades to further develop ways to cover up the putrid state of their ingredients: initially they source the cheapest bulk produce they can find, regardless of what it is or the condition it is in, then they cook it up and add synthetic vitamins and minerals. It is then treated with preservatives so it can have a shelf life of at least twelve months. Furthermore, the food is then processed in ways to make it look impressive to humans. What your cat is really getting from a can is a concoction of chemicals, hormones, mold spores and animal parts gone rancid: Your cat would normally never go within ten feet of this if given the choice.

So now you know the truth (and this is just an outline!). The best choice you can make is to start using some simple cat food recipes you can prepare yourself for full peace of mind. When you know exactly what your cat is ingesting daily, you can feel confident that you are doing your best to provide them with a happy and healthy life mentally and physically.
