Good to know
- Keep fresh water within reach at all times, as dry food contains only about 10 per cent moisture.
- Switch to a new dry food over 7 to 10 days, mixing in a little more each day.
- Neutered and indoor cats usually need the lower end of the feeding guide, or a sterilised recipe.
Common questions
What does ‘sterilised’ mean on cat food?
It is a recipe for neutered cats, which need fewer calories and tend to put on weight. These foods are usually lower in fat and energy, sometimes with more fibre. You still need to feed the right amount, as a sterilised food overfed will still cause weight gain.
How long does dry cat food last once opened?
It stays safe until the best-before date if stored well, but the fats slowly oxidise and the smell fades once the bag is open, so fussy cats may lose interest. Buy a bag size you will finish within a few weeks, keep it rolled tight in an airtight container, and check the pack for the maker’s advice.
