What food should I choose for my cat? A dry food like kibble or rather wet food, such as pâté? The answer in this video with our veterinary nutritionist, Dr. Géraldine Blanchard.
Kibble or Pâté for My Cat?
Our Dr. Géraldine Blanchard, a feline nutrition specialist, answers the question many of you have in this video:
Wet Food: A Health Advantage
The benefits of pâté for cats on the health of our little companions are numerous! Here are the main benefits summarized:
- Although not all pâtés are the same, by weight, kibble is 4 times more calorie-dense than pâté! Often, and wrongly, wet food is considered a treat that should only be given to cats on special occasions.
- Thanks to its high moisture content, pâté adds volume to our cats' stomachs and helps with the feeling of satiety.
- Since our cats are small drinkers, wet food helps them have less concentrated urine, which is more diluted, reducing the risk of urinary problems.
- A cat primarily fed high-quality wet food will have a reduced risk of developing obesity and diabetes.
- Finally, the nutrients present in a high-quality pâté help your cat maintain a beautiful coat!
