How to choose the best food for your cat: Croquettes, pâtés, and homemade food

Croquettes vs. pâtés
Kibbles are practical and help maintain dental health, while mashes are more hydrating. A combination of the two can provide a good balance.

Homemade food
Preparing your cat's food yourself can be healthy if done correctly, but requires good knowledge of feline nutritional needs. Consult a veterinarian before starting.

Quality ingredients
Whatever type of food you choose, choose high-quality ingredients without artificial additives. Read labels to avoid foods with low-quality by-products.
