Description Does your cat have a sensitive stomach? Finding the right cat food for sensitive stomachs can be daunting! With so many options available, finding the right diet for your cat is a challenge. Moreover, the fact that so many cats are picky and choosy in what they eat makes the job even more difficult! Cats have a process by which they assess their food: Firstly, they will smell the food. If it is not appealing, they will walk away. Secondly, they will pick the food up in their mouth. If they do like the feel or texture of the food, they will walk away. Finally, they will taste the food, if the flavour is not appealing, you guessed it, they will walk away! Easterbrooks Chicken cat food has a chicken content of 50%. Compare this to standard supermarket brands that often only guarantee 4% and you are onto a winner straight away! Unfortunately, most supermarket cat foods use random proteins that constantly change from batch to batch. These are disguised under the ingredient ‘meat and animal derivatives’. As a result, these are the worst cat foods for sensitive stomachs. This is because it is impossible to manage your cat’s diet and avoid certain ingredients that may cause stomach issues. Conversely, the high chicken content in Easterbrooks is guaranteed and consistent. It produces a strong, flavourful aroma to attract your cat to the food. The biscuit has been designed to have an enticing mouthfeel to your cat which encourages them onto the next stage of eating. The addition of maize provides an appealing crunch which also has oral care benefits.

Adult Cats need their own diet Cats are considered Adult when they reach one year of age. From this point, they will remain in the adult category until approximately 7-8 years old. At this stage they can be changed to a Senior diet. Adult cats have specific nutritional requirements and as such benefit from an adult or maintenance food. This is because they are no longer growing so do not need the higher protein and fat levels of a kitten food. Conversely, they are not yet in their Autumn years where activity levels and metabolism can slow. This life stage should be matched with an appropriate Senior diet.
