5 simple steps for a healthier cat

Here are five simple steps to make your cat healthier. They may seem obvious, but sometimes it’s nice to be reminded! We all want our pets to be as healthy as possible:

1. High-quality food : Choose high-quality cat food that meets your cat's nutritional needs. Preferably a high percentage of proteins (30/40%) and fats (20/30%). In addition, low-carb (less than 10/15%) is best. In the wild, cats eat almost no carbohydrates. Cat food with a lot of carbohydrates can cause obesity . Don't be alarmed: Many cat food contains 30 to 40% carbohydrates!

2. Portion Control with an Automatic Feeder : Use an automatic feeder to monitor and regulate the portion size of your cat's food. This prevents overeating and helps maintain a healthy weight.

3. Hydration with a drinking fountain : Many cats do not drink enough water . Too little fluid can lead to urinary tract and other health problems. So invest in a way to get your cat to drink more! A drinking fountain encourages your cat to drink more water. Preferably choose a drinking fountain with stainless steel. This prevents skin allergies .

4. Regular exercise : Exercise is very important for your cat, but some cats are lazy . Plenty of playtime and exercise can help maintain a healthy weight, better muscles and joints. And a nice side effect: It can also greatly reduce boredom !

5. Annual Vet Checkup : Take your cat to the vet regularly for vaccinations and checkups for any health problems . Early detection of problems can make treatment more effective and improve your cat's health !
