Understanding Cat Food: What ingredients are important in cat food ?

If your cat constantly experiences digestive issues, a dull coat, or low energy, there might be a problem with their food.

Let’s clarify the basics. Not all kibbles are the same. So what is the differentiating factor? It’s not just what’s in your cat’s food - how it’s made makes the real difference to their health and well-being. Choosing between oven-baked and extruded cat food isn’t just about preference or prices, but rather it’s about choosing nutrition, ingredient quality, and even long-term wellness over fillers, preservatives, and health issues that come with it.

Let’s see what these processes are and which one is the best suited for your feline friend.

When it’s baked, it’s better. Why?

While choosing the best food for our cat, we often tend to miss the most crucial factor behind their food: the cooking process. Several commercial brands use extrusion, high heat, and high-pressure methods to cook the kibble. Though the process is quick, it loses the nutrient content, and other artificial synthetics are used, making it unfit and unsafe for your feline to consume.

On the other hand, oven-baked food keeps the moisture intact and locks in the nutrients. This method of cooking makes the kibble more nutrient-dense, which leads to your cat eating just the right amount and not being overfed. This process takes time and provides the best nutrition you want to offer your feline friend.

If you ever see your cat turning away from their food bowl or dealing with stomach issues, it might 100% be the extruded kibble behind it.

Clear Labels, Clean Ingredients

Get the real deal! You should not be confused after reading your cat’s food label. No sneaky names or hidden ingredients! 

There’s a big difference between real meat and random by-products. The big commercial brands often cut corners with cheap fillers, which is not only misleading but, honestly, terrible for your cat’s health too.

Good Cat’s oven-baked cat food is made with human-grade ingredients and is cooked with indigenous spices along with fortified nutrients from fresh fisheries like Tuna, Salmon, Mackerel, and Anchovies. These prove to be a high source of protein for your cat’s naturally carnivorous diet. Besides, adding Taurine, the non-negotiable amino fatty acid, only sharpens your cat’s vision and enables a healthy heart function. In all, we’ve formulated a type of food that is crucial for feline longevity.

It all comes down to Nutrition

That’s where the real difference lies, not just in the process, but in the results you can see. Here's how oven-baked food from Good Cat is healthier than any typical extruded cat food:
