Are they good brands of feed for cats?
At this point, you are probably interested in knowing if they are good or not, right? Well, to answer that question, you must first ask another: What do felines eat? Meat, either from a land animal or - much less frequently - marine. But cats, like tigers, lions, and, ultimately, all of that wonderful family, are carnivores.
Both Lifelong and Solimo contain cereals, corn and / or rice, and although they say that the ingredients with which they are made are suitable for human consumption, this does not mean anything. People are omnivorous, we can digest both meat and cereals, but cats have a digestive system that has evolved only to digest meat. For this reason, it is also advisable to give them a meal that has a high percentage of this ingredient, at least 70%.
Still, I must say that I am not an expert in feline nutrition, but I do not think it is necessary either. No one would think of giving grain to a lion. Why are cats fed with feed rich in corn, rice, etc.?
Anyway, if we do not have enough money to buy one without cereals, Amazon feed is not bad in its price category eitherEven comparing them with others that have a similar and even higher cost, they are really interesting. Why? Because they do not contain artificial colors or flavors, and that is a point in their favor.
On the other hand, they carry some fresh meat, which is difficult to see in low-quality brands.
But yes, if you suspect that your felines have a food allergy -something that you will know if they vomit right after or shortly after eating- do not hesitate to give them a better quality feed.
