Recommended for: Neutered and sterilised dogs and dogs prone to weight gain. Adult dogs, from 1 year +. Understanding the nutritional needs of dogs and cats has been the predominant idea of the company founder Paul F. Iams. There’s no variety of flavours to choose from. Instead, Royal Canin differentiates its food according to the type of cat it’s aimed at, claiming that cats are more interested in nutritional quality than flavour varieties. My kitty isn’t convinced, but many cats love Royal Canin, and it comes highly recommended by vets.

My cat loves a change. Anything he’s not tasted already that week will be a hit. So these Duo pouches from Gourmet (a Purina brand) provide the variety he craves, and have been among his favourite foods for years. I like them, too, because there are no leftovers and the quality of meat and gravy is visibly high. The fillets are even less chunky than in Purina One, and there are no vegetables in any Mon Petit varieties. Ideal for a fussy eater or a cat who prefers small meals throughout the day. Iams is now owned by Mars (yep, chocolate Mars), along with Whiskas, Sheba, Royal Canin, Kit-e-Kat and Dreamies. Choccie link aside, Iams maintains a long-standing reputation for dry food of the highest nutritional quality. Royal Canin, now owned by Mars but founded by a French vet in 1968, was the first pet food brand to create foods tailored for different breeds and different sizes of dogs and cats. This meaty wet food for neutered cats (which is to say, most healthy pet cats) is complete, but its energy and fat content is carefully balanced to help relatively inactive cats avoid gaining too much weight. It’s also designed to support your cat’s urinary health, and will appeal to cats who don’t like very rich food. Alarming-sounding ingredients such as ‘animal derivatives’ and ‘meat meal’ often refer to byproducts of the meat industry. This stuff is meat, and perfectly safe (all pet food sold in the UK has to be safe for human consumption) – it’s just not meat that humans traditionally eat. It’s high in the meat proteins and essential amino acids (such as taurine) that cats can’t live without, and it may be just as tasty for your cat as rump steak is for you. Your cat loves it. If your cat has a preference for a particular brand and variety of complete cat food (‘complete’ is really important, we’ll come to that next), then that really is the top factor. Food can be nutritionally all-singing/all-dancing but if your cat doesn’t like it, it’ll go to waste.Iams is nutritionally complete, wheat-free, and contains 89% animal protein (higher than most other cat foods, including some wet varieties). It’s specially designed to support a strong immune and digestive system, and helps to reduce tartar built-up. May be too tough on senior teeth and gums, though. Complete cat food must contain meat. I’m vegetarian but I’d never limit meat in my cat’s diet. Unlike humans, cats need certain amino acids, such as taurine, that can only be found in meat and fish. Some good-quality meat cat foods also contain veg such as carrots, and some cats enjoy this (my cat won’t touch it!), so I’ve included a meat-and-veg cat food product among the recommendations.
