Grain-free food has a special place among ready-made cat food. Many specialists and experienced cat owners recognize them as the best, the elite in their field. Most of these foods are in the middle price range and up, but they are definitely worth it. After all, this is a perfectly balanced feeding, in which the pet is healthy, cheerful, does not require huge investments in veterinary services and will please its owners for a long time.

Most Popular Grain-Free Cat Food Brands

Today, this category is in great demand and more and more producers are beginning to try their hand at the grain-free sector. The most popular are still the best of the long-known brands:

Primordial. A unique brand from Italy dedicated exclusively to grain-free holistics, providing the best professional quality nutrition in this category. Primordial has solutions not only for all adult cats, but also for kittens, neutered, and KSD-prone animals.

bozita. A Swedish manufacturer whose hallmark is profitable and very diverse canned food. Bozita also produces dry food, but not all of them are grain-free.

Monge. Italian company with over 50 years of history. Although the main line of Monge is stuffed with corn, the manufacturer also offers a grain-free line of BWILD wet and dry foods, as well as canned Solo and Monoprotein grain-free.

Farmina. A large Italian brand that produces food of all classes from economy to holistic. Low-grain and grain-free formulas are represented only by the N&D line.

What to look for when choosing grain-free food?

Due to high demand, the concept of "grain-free" has become rather vague. Some manufacturers and shops use it as a marketing ploy, including food with rice and cereal derivatives in this category. Therefore, the first step is to check whether the composition corresponds to the declared one.

Also of great importance is the percentage of the most valuable ingredient for any domestic predator, which is necessary for the normal operation of all body systems - meat. In a really good food, it is in the first place or even the first five and takes up at least 50% of the composition. More is better. In this case, it is worth considering the individual needs of your cat. An adult inactive or spayed pet will benefit from a low-fat diet for weight control. A kitten, on the other hand, will benefit from calories and fat for healthy growth. For sensitive and allergic cats, it is better to choose food not only without cereals, but also without citrus fruits and a high content of chicken.
