It was the first week of December when my five- year-old Cat named Fighter suddenly felt weak and won’t eat. Once at the vet and as soon as the blood test results came, I was immediately thrown into pure despair and heartbreak. Fighter was showing signs of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and needed blood transfusion. I found myself crying and fearing the worst. Would he survive?

Commercial pet food is the go-to solution for a feline companion’s dietary needs. Cat food brands are often labeled as having “complete nutrition”, but do they really provide what a cat needs? Not all brands are created equal, so it is important to know what to look out for.
