When choosing cat food, check the ingredient list to make sure the first few ingredients are meat and that the specific type of meat is clearly stated. Prioritize fresh or frozen meat and avoid excessive meat meal. You can also choose cat food with higher crude protein content and no harmful additives.

Choose cat food with a reasonable shelf life and third-party testing reports to ensure its safety and quality. Note that different brands and types of cat food vary significantly in price; choose the appropriate cat food based on your budget.
