How can you tell if the inside of a cat can is a stock or a gel?

People often ask: "What canned food does your cat eat, I will also buy it for the master!" "Whenever I get to a situation like this, I can't say a word.

All six of my cats decide what kind of canned food to eat according to their different physical conditions, gastrointestinal functions, and special needs during special periods (such as illness or surgery).

First of all, it is necessary to know that canned food can be divided into three categories: canned snacks, canned staple food, and canned prescription food.

Because canned staple food is as rich in protein and fat as cat food, with sufficient trace elements, balanced nutrients, rich in water, and easy to digest, it is very suitable for cats to eat, so some shovelers use canned staple food instead of cat food for the main meal.

Canned staple food. Canned staple grains usually have a pureed appearance, because they do not contain additives and attractants, and you will smell a natural meat aroma that is not strong when you open the can. Although the smell of canned staple food is not as fragrant as canned snacks, and the palatability is not as good as canned snacks, the nutritional ratio of protein, fat, trace elements and other nutrients contained in canned staple food cannot be replaced by canned snacks and other homemade cat foods.

In addition, in addition to the ingredients required by the cat's body, canned staple food does not contain other adhesive starch.

Canned staple food. Canned staple food that meets the standards of the U.S. Feed Control Council has AAFCO labeling on the can, but there is one exception, the canned food canned food for peak cats does not have AAFCO labeling on it.

Canned staple food. The vast majority of canned cats from other Asian countries are canned snacks. The characteristics of canned snacks: the meat pieces can be clearly seen, and the aroma will be overflowing when the can is opened because of the added attractant.

Canned snacks. Although canned snacks can see real meat, due to different production processes and requirements, the nutrients and minerals required by the cat's body are not so sufficient, and it cannot replace cat food and canned staple food. If you use canned snacks as a staple food for cats for a long time, it will lead to slow growth and physical diseases due to malnutrition.

In particular, canned snacks have good palatability due to the addition of attractants, which will cause cats to be picky eaters and anorexic when eaten for a long time.

Canned snacks. In addition to the above two types, there are also various functional canned cats, such as canned hair and prescription cans for cats with diseases.

Prescription canned. This type of canned food needs to be used when necessary and under the guidance of a professional veterinarian before it can be given to cats. If you give a prescription canned food to healthy cats for a long time, it will not only be not beneficial to the health of cats, but will also be harmful.

Prescription canned. Some cats have glass stomachs, allergies to seafood or poultry or beef and mutton, etc., and will have soft stools, diarrhea, blood in the stool, etc. after eating, so it is recommended that you understand the formula and ingredients of canned food when choosing canned food. When you are not sure about the sensitivity of your master's stomach, it is recommended to buy a small amount of food and try it to observe the cat's excrement before making a decision.

This is very simple, the soup is relatively thin, and the gel is much thicker, and it can be distinguished by the naked eye!
