A nutritional review of the best and worst cat food in each category: raw, wet, and kibble.

Cat nutrition is more complex than people realize.

Additionally, if you don't understand AAFCO guidelines, you do not know what you are buying.

Worst pet food ingredients https://www.drkruger.com/blogs/blog/worst-pet-food-ingredients

Basically, the best cat food brands meet the following criteria:
💦 High moisture (this rules out kibble)
🥩 Specifically-named meat ingredients of good-quality (this rules out kibble)
🌾 Low starch/carb amounts (this rules out kibble)
💊 Minimal processing and synthetic supplementation (this also rules out kibble)

The best that you can feed to your cat is homemade (raw or lightly cooked).

Because you control the ingredients and how it's made.

However, homemade cat food is more complex than people realize.

If your only option is between wet or dry...

ANY wet food that says "complete and balanced" always wins.

Simply because cats rely on food for moisture. And water is essential for life!
