Lamb: Meat and meat by-products (4% lamb, 4% wild), vegetable protein extracts, fish and fish by-products, minerals, sugar. )
Meat and animal by-products: good food contains at least 60-70%, the meat and on the package as well. Here only 4% are actually meat, the rest being potentially from animal by-products. So what are animal by-products exactly? Quite simply wastes that are not approved for human consumption and therefore does not fall (hooves, horns, fur, feather, beaks ...) under the provisions of the food industry. In addition, not all carcasses used fresh, and also, of course, sick animals are processed, so that among other things, carcinogenic tissue is in the can. Problem in addition to the sordidness: A small fraction of animal by-products is okay, but a high proportion of Schwerverdaulichem as hair and hooves is a big burden on the metabolism of the cat and can eventually lead to indigestion and organ damage. Tags: kidney failure and duration of diarrhea.
VEGETABLE EINWEIßEXTRAKTE: What is meant is usually cheap soy. Problem: Some cats are allergic to soy. Most reactions are diarrhea, bloating, abdominal pain and allergic skin reactions such as itching or redness - at worst (and thank God probably quite rare) an anaphylactic shock with fatal consequences.
Fish and fish by-products: fish and by-products from the production of fish, as fish offal (including content), fins, heads, bones, fish eye and so on.
SUGAR: Hat - no matter the amount! - No place in cat food. Mostly this is due to the sugar color to be used yet to make soft-boiled animal waste such as hooves and beaks still look like real meat. Possible consequences: obesity, diabetes and dental problems, as well as in humans.
One reason why cats wet food, which consists mainly of waste, like to eat anyway, is the addition of attractants that need not be declared. Attractants ensure the acceptance of food, the cats would reject otherwise and create a feeding urge on hunger addition - practically like chips or fast food. There is therefore the risk of getting heranzufüttern an obese cat that eventually denied how any diet without attractants (= good food).
CONCLUSION:
Felix in all shapes consists mainly of waste and McDonald's for the cat. The cat eats more, will leave more and also runs the risk of getting fat and sick.
I can only recommend a wide berth to make all products of this manufacturer. Good or at least better wet food in presiwerten area (Sha / Lux from Aldi, Pure Nature from Fressnapf, Animonda Carny, gray, ...) is also in the local grocery store, pet stores or available online (Fressnapf, Zooplus). Benefits:
+ The higher cost per can pay off through lower required amount of feed
+ The pile in KaKlo be smaller because the animal can utilize more of the feed
+ Reduced risk of obesity, digestive problems or organ damage.
High quality food is therefore better bottom line for animal and owner and I can only recommend selling the trash in cans, the manufacturers like Felix, Sheba Whiskas or as feed, permanently deleting the feeding plan.
