Did you know September is “Happy Healthy Cat” month? Keeping our cats happy and healthy depends a lot on diet. I’ll be the first to admit my own cat’s diet is not “purr”fect (ok, that was corny, but I couldn’t resist!). Pumpkin is a very big eater. No matter what food I tried or how much I gave him, he never seemed to feel satisfied and he keeps getting bigger and less active every year. Finally, after a lot of searching, I realized he was experiencing one of the three most common cat concerns: picky eating, weight gain, and urinary tract issues.

I learned about the Big 3 by partnering with Weruva. They are a natural pet company dubbed “people food for cats.” They’ve just launched a new line of gluten free, grain free, and carrageenan-free foods. It’s called B.F.F. OMG! (that stands for Best Feline Friend, Oh My Gravy). If your cat has any of these, you might want to consider changing their diet:

Picky: Usually, this problem is due to texture. Cats are carnivores whose tongues and teeth are perfectly evolved for meat-eating. It’s easy to see why a cat might dislike something without real shreds of meat that doesn’t feel right in their mouth.

Overweight: Many lower quality cat foods are filled with unnecessary carbs, which are almost impossible for cats to process (they don’t produce amylase, an enzyme which helps humans digest their food). This was definitely effecting Pumpkin in a negative way!

Urinary Issues: Dehydration is the main cause. Think your cat drinks enough water? You may be surprised. Just having it available 24/7 is no guarantee! In the wild, cats stay hydrated through the food they eat instead of what they drink. Cats are used to “eating” their water—but most wet foods don’t have nearly enough hydration to keep them satisfied.

B.F.F. OMG! cans and pouches feature land proteins like boneless and skinless white chicken breast, salmon, beef, duck, and lamb. And if you are a BPA-free home, check out the pouches because they are BPA-free. Best of all, fur babies will love it. We have to remember that health isn’t just for humans, and it may take some trial and error to learn how to feed our favorite felines. By trying Weruva, I found a high quality product that Pumpkin loves, especially the Chicken & Tuna Dinner in Gravy.
