Frequently Asked Questions

How much should I feed my cat each day?

Most adult cats need around 200-300 calories a day, split across two to four meals, though exact amounts depend on the food's calorie density and your cat's weight and activity level. Check the feeding guide on the pack of whichever cat food UK brand you choose, as wet and dry recipes vary significantly in calorie content per gram.

How often should I feed my cat?

Cats generally do best with two to four small meals a day rather than one large one, mirroring their natural grazing behaviour. Kittens need more frequent meals, around four a day, while adult cats on a veterinary cat food plan may have feeding frequency set by a vet for specific health conditions.

Which cat food is best for my cat's needs?

The best cat food depends on your cat's age, health and any sensitivities, which is why our range includes everyday recipes from Royal Canin and Purina alongside veterinary cat food for conditions like kidney disease or food allergies. Grain-free options from Carnilove and Canagan suit cats with sensitive stomachs, while kitten-specific formulas support early growth.

What's the difference between complete and veterinary cat food?

Complete cat food is nutritionally balanced for everyday feeding and needs no additional supplementation, while veterinary cat food is formulated under prescription to manage a specific medical condition, such as urinary or renal issues. Veterinary diets from Hills and Royal Canin Veterinary should only be fed under guidance from your vet.

How do I choose the right cat litter?

Choosing cat litter comes down to your cat's preference and your priorities for odour control, dust and cleanup, with clumping clay, silica and plant-based options all suiting different households. Multi-cat homes often do best with a high-absorbency clumping litter changed more frequently to keep odour under control.
