Frequently Asked Questions
How long will a $100 budget typically feed one cat?
This depends on your cat's size and the specific products chosen, but generally a $100 budget can provide 2-4 months of food for an average adult cat when focusing on cost-effective dry food options, or 1-2 months when including more wet food in the diet.
Are budget cat foods nutritionally complete?
Yes, reputable budget cat foods that meet AAFCO standards provide complete and balanced nutrition. The main differences from premium foods are typically in ingredient sourcing, palatability, and digestibility rather than basic nutritional adequacy.
Should I mix wet and dry food within my budget?
Combining both can be beneficial for hydration and palatability. A common approach is using dry food as the base diet for cost-effectiveness while adding some wet food for moisture and variety. Even a small portion of wet food can provide health benefits.
How do I transition my cat to a new budget food safely?
Gradually mix increasing amounts of new food with decreasing amounts of the current food over 7-10 days. Start with 25% new food for 2-3 days, then 50% for 2-3 days, then 75% for 2-3 days before switching completely. This helps prevent digestive upset.
