Frequently Asked Questions about Wet Cat Foods for Senior Cats

Are wet cat foods good for senior cats?

Wet cat foods can be very good for senior cats. Wet cat foods provide extra moisture in the diet, which many senior cats need, and many are higher in muscle-preserving protein, too. In addition, wet cat foods are easier to chew and often easier to digest than dry foods, making them an ideal choice for senior cats.

What are the best wet cat foods for senior cats?

The best wet cat foods for senior cats are usually those formulated specifically for seniors. Look for senior or adult 7+ cat food formulas that are high in meaty protein and low on fillers and artificial ingredients. Many senior cat wet foods are formulated to be highly palatable and easy to digest, and some contain senior-supporting supplements like omega fatty acids, antioxidants, glucosamine, chondroitin and more.

What ingredients should I look for in wet cat foods for senior cats?

Look for ingredients like real meat and whole food ingredients in wet cat foods for senior cats. Other helpful ingredients in senior wet cat foods include things like prebiotics for good digestion, immunity-boosting antioxidants, omegas for skin and coat health and joint-supporting glucosamine and chondroitin.
