Benefits to Feeding Specialty Cat Foods
Specialty cat foods are formulated to meet the nutrient needs of your cat by having higher-quality protein sources, no artificial dyes and added antioxidants and vitamins. Ingredients include more real meat, natural additives (natural preservatives like vitamins C and E) and rich carbohydrate sources like rice (one of the most digestible grains). Because higher-quality ingredients are used, specialty cat foods are more nutrient-dense, which means they contain higher percentages of protein and fat so your cat eats less to obtain the same nutrition.

Things to look for in premium specialty cat foods:
Meat products make up at least the first few ingredients.
Natural preservatives such as vitamins C and E are used in place of chemical preservatives such as BHT and BHA.
Antioxidants, vitamins and minerals are added.
The benefits of feeding high-quality foods to your cat include:
formulations tailored to match your cat's age, weight, activity level, breed and specific health need.
Nutritionally complete and balanced.
Higher digestibility - resulting in smaller, firmer stools and less clean up for you.
Less waste - the amount of food fed is less due to the higher nutrient density and digestibility.
Healthier inside and out - with formulas designed to support internal organs, bones and joints as well as promote a healthier skin and coat.
