Which Dry Cat Food is Best? Meow Or Taste of the Wild!

Cats like humans need nutrition like humans. They grow on this nutrition and take the trophy of being the most playful creature on earth. They are always happy to entertain you. Isn't it right to get the best nutrition for entertaining you? Now, making the purchasing decision for the Right Cat Food can be a problem since once you walk in the store, there are so many options for you. Here are a few important things you need to understand before making the purchase:

•  The reputation of the brand

•  Quality of the ingredients

•  Reviews of the customers


One of these elements is missing, don't consider buying the food. One of the most popular choices in cat food is dry cat food.  People love it for a number of reasons which are:

•  It is easy to feed

•  It does not go stale if left in the bowl for a longer period of time

•  It can be stored easily unlike wet food which once opened cannot be stored

•  Cats love it

The Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO) has made a compulsion on all the pet food manufacturing companies to give the right amount of the nutrition content in the food. Here is the nutritional plan of both the brands to give you a clear picture:

Dry Cat Food
Taste Of The Wild
Meow Mix
Crude Protein
41.1%
35.5%
Crude Fat
18.9%
13.0%
Crude Fiber
3.3 %
5.4%

Now, from this plan we can analyze the following things:


Protein Content


What is the most important ingredient for cats? Proteins! Why? Cats need twenty-two amino acids for sustaining life. Eleven of these amino acids are synthesized automatically. The other eleven amino acids make up all the energy. Therefore, cats require proteins to make up the required amino acids. There is a large difference between the protein content in Taste of the Wild and Meow Mix. This takes Taste of the Wild to another level.

Fat Content


The crude fat helps in digestion and improves the visual cortex of the cat. It is an essential ingredient. However, if given in excess, the cat might go obese which is definitely something you don't want.  In case your cat species has to avoid fats, Meow Mix is not a bad option.

Fiber Content


Fiber content is essential for us since we are human beings. On the other hand, cats are basically carnivores. They don't need fiber. Fiber is nothing but a binding agent for the food. Meow mix has more of this fiber than Taste of the wild.

Both of the brands are good. However, Taste of the Wild does take the trophy since it has everything a good dry cat food will have. However, if you are on a budget and have to feed more than two cats. Meow is the best option.
