Can you just give your cat a can of tuna to eat? Isn't it much better than cheap cat food?

No, only in small quantities as a leak, the mercury contained in the tuna could poison the cat otherwise.

In addition, it would not receive all the nutrients it needs by far. Thus, cheap cat food would be even better, as the nutrients are at least artificially added there.

However, it is best to have a high-quality food, with a good mix of muscles, internals and also bones, without spices, without sugar without cereals.

This is nice as a tasty but does not correspond to the nutrients that a cat needs regularly

No tuna as a daily meal is not suitable at all, because the cat so does not need to cover its daily nutrients, as well as is contained in tuna mercury which would poison the cat.

Cheap wet food is so or so not good, because of gedree and sugar, prefer to feed high-quality wet food.

You can, but then you have to make a menu,

so that the cat gets everything it needs.

You can also prepare food yourself,cooked,egg,fish,muscle meat,etc.

If you eat it in portions, you can save a lot of money.

But I would remove the oily marinade. Even in individual cases the cat does not do well.

PRESENT!!!

With BARFEN you really have to know, otherwise it hurts the cat.

With egg tuna and some muscle meat it is not done there.

There is also a good mix of internals that some additives must not be missing, and tuna as a daily meal is not good at all because of the mercury, even egg never give daily.

If you would like to contact Barfen with a competent nutritional advice.

Read it etc. and you can research it cleanly on the Internet.Not always evaluate contributions, just because they are not so detailed.

I was concerned that when food is cooked by itself, it should not fall back on egg, tuna and pure muscle.

Without oil and marinade, it will endure it and probably will also taste. But certainly not as a daily feed.

And who says you need to buy cheap cat food?

In cat feed of all brands, less nutrients should be in it than in tuna

A whole can of mercury-containing tuna can already poison a cat.

I don’t know what this is, I’ll take a movie, so you can’t take it seriously. In “Vaterfreuden” a ferret is fed with vegetables, although they are pure meat eaters…

Want to acknowledge that it did not harm the cat in “A man named Ove” ….

Can’t tell you where I’ve read this for the first time, in any case I had researched and found out some tuna fish are really badly contaminated.

In Germany there are limits for mercury in tuna, but I still think that it can end deadly from 20 days of tuna every day.

There’s too much oil in there, it’s not good for the cat.

There are also cans of tuna in their own juice.

So nature, without additives, it’s all right. But only as a “lickerli” and not constantly. As a main food completely unsuitable.

It is to be assumed that in nature the cat eats everything that crawls and fluffs. More than in tuna can hardly be in there.

But basically a question for a veterinarian

In nature, however, cats rarely catch fish, and even tuna fish are highly mercury-loaded.

In nature, too, they not only eat the pure muscle meat, but also organs and bones, which is missing from the canned tuna.

Of course

But let something out of the oil

If you prefer to stay in tuna because of the many mercury, a whole can can already poison a cat.

The variant without oil is preferably natural. The best thing is that you go to the meat counter every day and let you crush the finest beef fillet. Is everything a matter of finance.

Nonsense, the cat would be missing a lot of nutrients in the long term if they were always only muscle meat!

There are supplements for this.

Yes, I agree with you. However, be it as it is, the FS seems to have disappeared again long ago, so the debate is probably not in question for him.

This is just as insane as cheap food full of supplements.

If you are barft, you should not only give beef fillet, but various types of muscles + internals + raw bones, then you hardly have to supplement.

Obviously not because he writes:

much better than the cheap cat food?

And with the tuna he is now not more economical on the road at times of inflation.

The questioner is probably about the price. That’s what you’re proposing, but it’s more expensive.

Strolchi2014

Is something too one-sided and there are important nutrients missing.

Why cheap cat food?

There’s good food that costs a little more.
