About Gourmet Mon Petit

Iams is nutritionally complete, wheat-free, and contains 89% animal protein (higher than most other cat foods, including some wet varieties). It’s specially designed to support a strong immune and digestive system, and helps to reduce tartar built-up. May be too tough on senior teeth and gums, though.Royal Canin, now owned by Mars but founded by a French vet in 1968, was the first pet food brand to create foods tailored for different breeds and different sizes of dogs and cats. This meaty wet food for neutered cats (which is to say, most healthy pet cats) is complete, but its energy and fat content is carefully balanced to help relatively inactive cats avoid gaining too much weight. It’s also designed to support your cat’s urinary health, and will appeal to cats who don’t like very rich food. Kittens need even higher levels of protein in their diet than adult cats, to aid their rapid growth. Many reputable companies make food especially for juniors. Gourmet Mon Petit emphasizes that these 50-gram servings are supposed to be a benefit in case your cat only likes to eat a small amount at one time. However, they advise that you will probably need to feed an average cat (about 4 kg in weight) 6-7 pouches per day.
