Cat Expert Explains How to Read Cat Food Labels 

Thank you all for tuning in- please let me know if you'd be interested in doing a deeper dive! Have a great #Caturday!

I like that he made sure to not make people feel inadequate if they can only afford the cheap food. Thanks for being wholesome!

Jaxon, can you do a segment on kidney disease and food? I think it would be most helpful for cat parents.

Jackson….. why doesn’t someone (like you) start producing a cat food that meets all the best requirements? They would make a mega fortune! Even if I couldn’t afford it every day, I would buy it to supplement the others.

As a veterinarian, I SHOULD know more about feline nutrition! I learned a lot from this video!

I can recognize the cans of cat food because i spent so many hours reading the labels in the pet store. (I also work at one!) Here's the brand list for anyone that wants to buy the products in the video on the list. I know he doesn't want them in the video, but as a consumer it's great to know which exact products that were being spoke well about we could try, and which to avoid. Keep in mind, just cuz one brand was spoke badly about and I'm now telling you the brands, that doesn't mean the entire brand line is bad. Ex 3 in the most expensive category, Weruva, has other recipes that are better than the one in the video! But it's great information to know which brands you should look more closely at based on Jackson's review. Expensive Example 1: Instinct Ultimate Protein - Pate Real Chicken Recipe Example 2: ORIJEN - Regional Red Entree in Bone Broth Example 3: Weruva - Mideast Feast with Grilled Tilapia in Gravy Mid-Range Example 1: Wellness CORE - Whitefish Salmon & Herring Pate Example 2: Tiki Cat - Puka Puka Luau Succulent Chicken in Chicken Consomme Example 3: Wellness Complete Health - Pate Chicken Entree Value Cat Food Example 1: Blue Buffalo Tastefuls - Chicken Entrée Pate Carrageenan discussion can 1 18:07 Natural Balance (This is not a value brand!) Example 2: Friskies - (im not sure which specific flavor and can) Example 3: Made by Nacho - Chicken Recipe in Bone Broth Pate

Hi Jackson, I'm going to be super honest here. Since I have NEVER EVER had cats (not even close), I had no idea who you were. However, about 15 days ago, a feral cat started coming to my front door. Thanks to your loving, compassionate, and professional approach, our life is now full of beautiful kitty moments. Your book "Total Cat Mojo", as well as your videos, have enriched my life in a wonderful way. THANK YOU SO MUCH for giving SO MUCH!! And for doing it with so much love. I am also very grateful that you have the media exposure so you can pass on your knowledge and whole philosophy. You are making a great impact in this world and inspiring us to pay it forward. My best wishes for you and your loved ones Ethel Tame

I'd love a video on homemade cat food

You are important to us cat lovers. You are also a terrific young man. Thank you for your guidance.

Changing foods saved my cat's life. When my cat was 2 she was in stage III renal failure and given 6-24 months to live. She got put on a prescription cat food. I started to really struggle affording this food, and a pet nutritionist told me to try Fromm dry Game Bird Recipe. I had my vet check the food out with me (since I was very young and stupid) and she really liked the food. My cat is now 17 with perfectly healthy kidneys.

"Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good" is a FANTASTIC point. I really have been trying to embrace this philosophy in multiple areas of my life. Thanks for the reminder!

YES, please, a deep dive is very much needed!! After watching the video, I looked at the ingredients of the food that I have been feeding my cats, and I can see that they are shit. The trouble is, one of my cats is on a prescription diet, and there is no other option. The cat who requires the prescription diet, prefers the other cat’s food, the other cat prefers the prescription diet. Now mealtime is a negative event, I sit close and shoo them off the food they want to eat, neither cat is getting what they need. I want to be able to choose for myself: follow the prescription or choose a better food, one that both cats can live with. This video does not go deep enough to make that decision. And, in this instance, money is not a barrier, the prescription diet is not cheap, even though it is full of fillers.

I have been studying cat food for awhile now, taking out ingredient by ingredient, finally I learned about synthetic phosphates. My cats have been synthetic phosphate free now 4 months, and I noticed my older cat has more energy, she had stopped jumping up on high areas like the island, she still jumped up on lower things. We just thought it was her age she is 10, but in the past few weeks she is jumping up on the island and is chasing our younger cat. Thanks so much for your video.

Jackson once said that the worst canned food is better than the best dry food, so that gives you some leeway.🐱

I would be really interested in seeing a deep dive in the vet clinic exclusive foods like PVD, hills, or Royal canin. And maybe a comparison of specifically urinary food found at vet clinics vs pet stores since male cats have a fairly substantial chance of urinary blockages.

It's worth noting that a lot of (especially smaller) cans say you have to feed a larger cat two or three cans worth to equate ONE meal. Be aware of 'serving size' even for cat food!

In Australia they just put gelling agent and dont say what it is... when I asked a company they said it is their secret ingredient and can't divulge it... after more digging it was carrageenan!

I would love a series on choosing cat food because this shit is so confusing. I would also love something on calculating how much food your cats need and how/when to change their food as they age. Also, how to feed picky eaters! We have to have multiple boxes of food open at once to switch up the flavors for our picky cat and then I usually have a box of higher end tuna food (only three ingredients 😱) to give them as an occasional treat. My cat Fae will do anything for fish and I found she will eat the higher end food when she sticks her nose up at her regular food

Thank you SO very much for taking the time to research and getting advice from your coworker on this very important topic! I've had cats my whole life and me and my mom have been asking vets what kind of cat food was good vs. bad and none of them gave us a actual answer! Our last vet just told us that no there isn't really a better kind of cat food, and that cats in a natural habitat don't live past 8 years and when they are house cats they can live longer but aren't supposed to so they will all develop health issues. This could possibly be true in some sense but I know for a fact that some cat food really isn't good for cats! I'm thinking of getting a cat soon and really wanted to do some research so thank you again for posting this video!

I love what you are doing here. Thank you. One thing to realize while talking about this...They don't have to tell us the quality of the meats. That beef or chicken can be crap meats not proper decent meat. Same with seafood products. There is so much that the companies can put on those labels to lie/trick people. And while we are checking out the cat nutrition, know that much of this wisdom applies to us as well. Healthy fats and proteins, low carbs.

Huh. This whole time I thought my cat was being a picky eater not eating the shreds in the canned cat food, turns out he's just a discerning consumer 😂

Definitely need a video on treats and supplements! And one on prescription/health support foods!

I immediately went to my cats wet food collection and read the ingredient lists as I followed along with the video. Tried to see if you read the back of my brand too. And you’re right, there are affordable brands that are still good for them, and are far better than a constant dry food diet!

Thank you soooo much for this. I want to make sure my cats are as health as possible and they right food is so important but I never knew how to adequately read can labels!! God bless you Jackson for all your videos and for all you do for cats and the people who love them!!

Jackson, I’d love if you would also do a video about cat treats. What to look for in those and what to avoid, etc.

I would love a video delving more into phosphates in food! It isn’t really explained why to watch out for it like Carageenan was and I’d love to learn more. Thank you so much for making videos like this. They really really help us in the Vet Med field learn AND teach more about pet nutrition. It is such a vastly under discussed topic that helps pet owners understand WHY to avoid certain brands and ingredients rather than simply avoiding based on “ oh don’t feed that brand, it’s bad”. We in vet med appreciate you so much Jackson for talking to actual DVM’s about these topics and giving us easy to share materials with pet owners ❤

I would like to see an in depth look at the safety and health concerns/benefits of feeding your cat tinned seafood products. I give Finn albacore tuna or sardines packed in oil every so often, but I often worry about exposing her to mercury or other heavy metals since even we humans are only supposed to have tuna twice a month.

I’m glad for this information. In the past, I have spent a lot of money on expensive wet cat food brands. My cats ate it once and never touched it again. They prefer a less expensive name brand that’s found in most grocery stores and pet stores. If they eat it, I buy it. But I will be more vigilant about avoiding phosphates and other harmful ingredients.

Jackson thank you so much for touching on this topic! One of the things that has always bothered me is how brands like royal cainin and hills science diet are “vet recommended” and accepted by the AVMA but their ingredients are absolutely terrible! Riddled with Carageenin and phosphates that are totally unnecessary…. Thank you for bringing this topic to light! I am big on reading all my ingredients… Honestly I care more about ny cats food than I do mine, LmFAO!

Wow. I thought I was a food snob for my cats, and then I started reading labels in my pantry-back to the drawing board for me! Thank you, Jackson! You are truly God's gift to cats!

I covered all of this in my course and our homework was to look at the information on the cans when shopping. This was a great refresher for me and when I go to get food this afternoon I’ll definitely be checking everything. It will also help me find a good good for my friends cat since he is on a very strict budget and can’t afford the best food.

Thank you Jackson, so much, for everything you do for us and our Kitties 💝💝 We love you 🥰

Would be swell to see a reboot of the "Food, the Bad, and the Ugly", but including what you learned here and freeze dried catfood such as Stella and chewy, bixbi rawbble, nulo, vital essentials, to name some of the types of freeze dried out there 👀

Whoaaa this was so cool. I realized we definitely aren’t feeding our cat the BEST, but we also aren’t harming him. It’s challenging to balance wanting to give them the best but also needing to be conscious of spending. Thanks for this and I’d love more detail!

This was so informative, and absolutely great for someone like me who doesn't even know where to start when researching something like this. Love how accessible and simplistic this information is presented, as well as how understanding Jackson towards those who can only afford the bargain stuff. I've been there before, and it's heartbreaking to know you simply can't buy your pet what they need. Great video! I must say, though, that after watching this, I am absolutely HORRIFIED by what I have been feeding my cats!! The brand Royal Canin has been my go-to for nearly a decade, as it is the "premium health brand" that my vet sells almost exclusively and recommended highly. It's very expencive, but I always justified the price to myself because I wanted to give my cats the best nutrition. But looking at the label? Not only are the protein levels low, and the only meats being by-products, but both the senior and indoor foods have carrageenan about midway through the ingredients list. If this was a cheaper brand, I wouldn't be so shocked, but since my vet has recommended this to me for so long... I'm concerned. No hate to the brand or my vet - the weird stuff that goes into all food in general is a messy business these days - but still, what an eye-opener! And that's just the wet food... I'm almost too scared to look into the dental and urinary kibble my two boys have been eating almost exclusively for most of their lives. Needless to say, I'm going to be doing some research and going shopping sometime soon.

I absolutely loved this video!!! I love your content and this has to be my top one so far! I am a new cat mommy of not one but two adopted kittens and they are my joy. I want the absolute best for them as they struggled so much in their earlier stages and one of them nearly died of multiple health conditions hence, I want nothing but the best for the both of them. As a Dr. I know the extreme importance of gut health and good nutrition as a preventive measure for illness, so thank you for this you did saved me from that really deep rabbit hole I was in chasing after the best to feed them! Totally up for a deeper dive! 😻😽💚

Jackson this was a wonderful video and I thank you so much from all of us pet parents out there! In your video you mentioned that you don’t want to call out brands for being bad or good and I respect you for that. Everyone is out there doing the best they can. Might I suggest a video where you list a couple cans from each price point that you WOULD feed your cat? That way you’re highlighting the good and not calling out any brands for being “bad.” Please like this comment if you think that would be helpful for you! (: Happy belated caturday everyone! ❤

“Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good.” I love that!

Your disclaimer at the end was the absolute right thing for me to hear. I was starting to get nervous for the switch, but I'm ready for it now!

I absolutely love these videos. So much information that is actually helpful and really helped me to find the best quality food for the right price. It's not always the most expensive brands either. Definitely done with the "Riskies" after looking at those labels.

One of my cats ( Mr. Midnight ) got sick from supermarket cat food; he had a build up of silt in his bladder, a life - threatening condition. I cut out dry food, and switched to a brand of wet food with no fillers. Treats are 'Pure Bites' - ONE ingredient cat treats. He is now healthy, and living his best life.

I work at a natural pet food store, and owe 3 cats of my own. It's SO good to see wet foods be talked about more! This is great info for people and I'm sure it will help cats everywhere.

I am sooooo glad you came out with this series on cat food, what's good and what's not. I am going to go to Costco and PetSmart tomorrow to get more food armed with the information you have put out in this series. It's a real education on the topic, and thank you so much for all of the work needed to make these videos. 😻👍

Thanks for the video! After I watched it, I looked at all the labels of catfood here in germany and the things that are dangerous to your cat that you shown in this video are in no catfood here. The "worst" thing that is in catfood here, are grains and added sugar, but thats about it. I know that catfood (and petfood in general) is heavily regulated in the EU, I am happy about that.

As I have 2 elderly cats, I would love if you did a video on the renal support foods, why they are so expensive, and what makes them different. Maybe a bit on why kidney failure is so prevalent and is related to the food fed earlier in life? Thank you in advance!

Remember: this video is not about brands, but the recipe! Please look at ingredients and the guaranteed analysis (but also know that this is only minimums and maximums, not percentages on a dry matter basis!) However, a lot of people where curious so here are the recipes shown: 4:20 - Instinct Original Pate: Chicken, Liver & Turkey Recipe 5:00 - (?) Purina Pro Plan Urinary Tract Health: Turkey & Giblets Entree; Beef & Chicken Entree 5:15 - (?) probably a turkey and chicken recipe, white label w/ hot pink borders; reminds me of Nulo, but the colors don’t match 7:10 - Tiki Cat display 7:13 - Weruva display 7:30 - brands above + Friskies, Merrick, Fancy Feast, The Honest Kitchen, Made by Nacho, Rachel Ray Nutrish 8:45 - Instinct Original Pate: Chicken, Liver & Turkey Recipe 10:05 - (?) Orijen: Regional Red Entree 11:10 - Weruva Pate: Tic Tac Whoa! Tuna & Salmon Dinner 12:20 - (?) Wellness Core Pate: Whitefish, Salmon & Herring Recipe 13:10 - Tiki Cat: Ahi Tuna & Chicken Recipe 15:25 - ??? 16:55 - (?) Blue Buffalo Tastefuls: Chicken Entree 18:10 - ??? 18:35 - Friskies Shreds: With Salmon In Sauce 19:40 - (?) Made by Nacho: Chicken Recipe

thanks for all your effort. I brought home two stray cats from Russia when I was teaching there in 2018. Annie and Molly say thank you!

Thank you, Jackson! Very informative. We have 2 feral kittens that we adopted a couple years ago and they are on wet & dry food. I so appreciated the information regarding what ingredients to avoid, i.e., multiple phosphates and carrageenan. We want them to have a happy and healthy long life like our other kitties. The very best to you always!

Thank you for holding the cat food industry accountable by teaching people how to look for safe and healthy products for their cats! Hopefully people can identify and advocate for market discontinuation of harmful cat food products.

Here in the UK there used to be a great brand called Lily's Kitchen. After building up a great reputation they sold the business to Nestlé who immediately changed the recipe and sourcing of ingredients. Now it's garbage tier poison, but sadly some people still think it's good food.

I love your videos! Very informative! I'm glad you're spreading this important info. I went down this rabbit hole with both pet food, and people food. It's horrifying how many toxic/horrible ingredients are added to processed foods, and it's great to let people know, so they can make informed decisions for their pets diets. I started getting the most natural type of foods for my 13 year old cat (about 7 years ago) - where I had been mostly getting her the healthiest types of dry foods, but I noticed she would have upset stomach a lot. I switched her over to a predominantly wet food diet (and mix in freeze dried fish/chicken/beef liver, etc) as well as other cat vitamins (like for joints, UT). At 13 years old, my cat is still lively and has a beautiful coat! She still plays every day, gets lots of attention, exercise, and stimulation. Whenever I take her to the vet for checkups, the vet always comments on how healthy she is for 13 (though she is still a little over weight from years ago of a poorer diet - and has lost weight over the last 7 years in a healthy way). Another thing I did for our senior kitty that I think contributes to her health and happiness is a nice little stairs set by our bed. She can't jump as high as she used to and our bed is pretty high up - she likes to sleep with us in bed haha, so the stairs I got on Amazon helps her get up and down without the strain on her joints of jumping up and down from it. Anyways haha long cat rant. I agree with you about making your cat's diet a priority. It helps give your cat a happier and healthier life. Our cat never has health issues at 13 almost 14 years old. She gets decent quality wet food, freeze dried raw food, lots of toys and puzzles, and she actually really likes watching "cat TV" on youtube when she is feeling too lazy to play with her toys haha. >>>>>Question::Jackson, do you have any recommendations for dental health for cats? That's one thing I've had trouble doing research on, and it's something that becomes a problem I've heard, in senior cats (along with UT issues) I use a vet recommended cat tooth paste type of thing, but tbh I don't know if it was just a gimmick thing or if it's even effective. I hope it's not harmful!!

This was sooooo helpful! Thank you. I probably spent an additional 30+ minutes studying and taking notes from this video.

I was skeptical going into this video about paid promotion of specific cat food brands. there was nothing like that! I appreciate so much that you didn't share the brands and just broke down how to pick a safe food for our cats! Thanks for your amazing content. 😊❤️

I'm here because our 16 year old needs to be changed over to a Kidney Support diet and the vet said to choose foods low in sodium and phosphates. The vet said that eventually all cats will have kidney disease so, I think it's a great topic to do a video regarding not only senior diets but lifelong supportive diets. Thank you.

Thank you so much for all the information and education. I watch your videos faithfully to learn to care for my feline family the best i can. Food is a concern of mine cause it is the root of all, health, quality life, no high vet bills and everything. Thank you so much. I share your videos on my FB, inst to educate people with your valuable lessons.

I hope this is helpful: When my 6mo kitten came along to accompany my 9yo, I began exploring these questions about the best nutrition. After a search, learning only SOME of the criteria Jackson mentions - top 5 should be protein or right amount of water, organ meats, etc. Then, DUUUHHHHHH planning to buy by the case, but the point is the variety.

I've been implementing changes around the house based on your videos and I'm already seeing a difference in my cats. They seem happier and more relaxed. Working on being a better cat mom. :3

This was great! How about a video with advice on how to convince fussy kitties to accept the good brand that they don't want.

Just a heads up: I get my groceries delivered and via my store’s app, the shopper can click on the picture of the product, giving the list of ingredients of said product. (don’t have to be in the store to read the can) Excellent video! Thanks Jackson 👍😆🐱❤

FANTASTIC!! Thank you sooo much for this video. I've struggled with trying to choose good quality cat food and this was so helpful!

I would love to know more about cat food packaging itself - cans vs tetra paks vs pouches etc. With all the concern about forever chemicals being everywhere these days, I'd like to know if different types of packaging are better or worse in that regard.

Thanks for talking about carageenan and phosphates 🙀 Good to know!! In case you're wondering: the best ingredients can Jackson describes at 10:20 is Orijen but they've been bought out by Mars (company manufactures several garbage brands) I asked the pet store manager we'll probably start seeing changes in the food next year or so hopefully they can keep up this same high quality ingredients list! But in case they don't we're already prepared by feeding our boy a rotation of top quality brands daily! Luckily he loves everything we feed him!

We just rescued a beautiful, female black cat. Someone must have dumped her. I am handicapped but my hubby said that we must rescue this baby girl. We immediately had her wormed, vaccines, even spayed. And, guess what? A large bag of quality DRY food! It is listed for sensitive stomach. Well, she keeps craving wet. Hubby went and bought as a treat FF small cans. We will look out for the danger ingredients and go with the wet. Thank you, Jackson. I have had cats all of my life... but after our last rescue had bowel obstruction and after two enemas he declined so badly we couldn't see him continue to suffer. He was so weak, and we grieved as we had to take him to be put to sleep😢 I cried as I thought I would never be able to have another and grieving our MoCat... but she arrived. I hope we can do best by her...Angel ( her name)

I appreciate Jackson's approach to analyzing a wide range of cat food brands. I also appreciate him suggesting that the cheapest wet food will generally be better for a cat than expensive dry food.

I always wondered why vegetables are sneaked into the list of ingredients on some cat foods. Got my answer now! This is a very valuable lesson Jackson! My cat is a very picky eater. It makes sense now why she refuse to eat certain brands despite they have the same main protein.

Been feeding my cats a local raw since they were kittens. One of them gets an occasional can of food like Rawz or Nulo or Feline Natural. The series he made The Food the Bad and the Ugly is a great watch along with this.

I love this video. Its educational and very informative. Thank you Jackson. People that comment on here that the cheap food is all they can afford, STOP. This video is not to hear about your personal budget, what you can or cannot afford. This is to learn, take it in and use it to better educate you on pet food and decide. STOP giving your struggles on why you use this or that pet food and just listen to Jackson who has done the leg work and research to educate. Comment on that. SAY THANK YOU TO JACKSON, and then decide what you want to do with it.

The trick is to get the cat to eat it.

I would love a series delving into what to look out for with dietary restrictions. Having had a CKD cat as my first cat, it took hours of research on what food ingredients were dangerous and what I could give for rare treats as well as what I could potentially try as safe flavour enhancers to his food to get him and keep him eating. I know this is a monumental question that pretty much needs a channel on its own, but even just a basic what to really look out for might help others a lot in finding answers.

More nutrition videos like this please - raw food next!

This was one of my favorite videos! It was so informative!!!! Thank you!

The 2 kittens are almost 3 years old now. The long haired ginger lion is not especially greedy however the short haired tortoise is a glutton. She came from a shelter to complete our family and she was extremely thin with her ribs showing. They're eating canned food 2 or 3 times a day, mainly because of her. My boy lives his treats, but Kamei has a serious appetite and will clean her bowl and then check his! I'm really glad that you made this video. There's so many things to consider when caring for these precious little predators. And I don't think I'll be able to cook for them like my mother used to cook for her cat, so thank you, Jackson for all your help. Bless you and your family, too.❤

I cannot get over how cute the black kitty is! Every kitty should be this happy!

Just checked my cats food after watching this video. 70% fish, none of the fillers or dangerous stuff and 39% protein! she’s been eating it all her life so I’m happy I’ve not been feeding her rubbish! Thank you for spreading the word Jackson, some of these foods should really not be sold!

Jackson, thank you so much for everything! All the best!

I've done the same experiment when my cat was diagnosed as diabetic. Best lesson yet.

If you’re worried about the inconvenience of feeding wet food meals vs free feeding kibble, they do sell automatic pet feeders that will present pre-proportion meals throughout the day at the times you set. The one’s I have even have ice packs underneath so wet food can stay fresh all day. I work a lot and can’t be home to prepare and feed my 2 kitties 2x-3x a day so this has been a game changer for getting them off of hard food and on a more routine feeding schedule (including a small nighttime snack & treats after I play with them right before bed to prevent 3:00am zoomies!) I got the fancy ones with 5 compartments & ice packs for about $40 each which is a bit pricey, but you can find cheaper 3 compartment ones for around $20. I think they’re very worth the investment though, especially since I live somewhere hot so I want their dinner to still be fresh by nighttime so I splurged for the ice pack ones with extra packs I can easily switch out. Total game changer 🙌

My only suggestion would be to take your top pics from each category and give us the names of the brands you would suggest. I have read and read from different brands at different prices and it would be so much easier if you just told us your pics.

For those wondering, the second midrange food, the one with 16% protein, is tiki cat luau. No idea about the others, I just stumbled into this when researching.

Totally enjoyed this video. Saw the brand that I recently purchased that got a good score. Thank you for the education … nothing but the best for our Phoebe !

THANK YOU FOR THIS!! I’ve been up and down the internet trying to figure out what is best for my cats while also having to look at what is feasible price wise. This video was so helpful and I will be sharing it with all of the cat parents I know!

In my personal opinion I think an entire series about different cat foods and the intricacies of the different ingredients would be really helpful. Thank you for your videos, have a great day

Love ya man, and know that your work is appreciated. Stay well.

Thank you for this! And so much love for using Beyond Belief clips with Frakes :D

The first two from the mid priced were Wellness core and TikiCat. I thought Tastefuls was better, first one right off the top of the lowest costing ones! The yellow box was Nacho brand, one of few foods still made in the United States, avoid products from Thailand! Great video Jackson.

Can you do a video of how to have conversations with your vet regarding wet food diets? I see vets still guiding patients incorrectly saying dry prescription food is best. How do we vet our vet? Or how do we professionally provide information to them that wet it better?

Wow Jackson!! It’s so great to find you on RU-vid!! Thank you SO MUCH for this great video!! I’m so mad at commercial cat foods! But this video at least helps me pick foods in a more educated way. Thanks so so much. I still want to make my own cat food but… haven’t got there yet.

Extremely informative. Thank you!

Extremely helpful, thank you! A video on gums, starches, powders and all those “chemical” ingredients (phosphates, nitrates, sulfates, etc). would be amazing. Just want the 101 - what they are, what they’re used for, do they effect the animals overall health? You’re awesome!

👍 Wellness Core & Tiki Cat. I’ve stared at canned cat food for so long over the years to try to appease my cat’s princess palate that I recognize two of the winners he went over 😆

Excellent video! Thank you so much for your valuable education and teaching people so much about our beautiful friends. ❤

I found this to be an interesting video!! I've always like reading food labels on my own food so learning about this was pretty cool. Now I can look for better foods for our cat. And I think it would be awesome to see a more in depth video for it!

Great labels 101 video . I’d be super interested in more videos on understanding what is in canned cat food. Having as much protein as possible makes sense and some vegetables are ok, but what about the other ingredients….

As a new cat owner this video was very helpful. Thank you for helping my kitties get the best cat food on this side of the litter box :)

Hi Jackson, me and my daughter (cat lovers) are very fond of your tv shows my cat from hell as these are very informative in cat behaviour and how to keep them entertained with exercises, playtime, etc. Very pleased to see your contribution to cat food as well. Good job! Thankx a lot and keep on the good work.

Thank you for sharing this info! I would like to learn much more cuz I love my fur babies❤

I'd love a video on what to put in a wet food if you want to make it yourself. My cat will only eat dry food and pate, and if I can make it healthier for her, then I'd love to.

This was no prank! Great video on being able to pick out of a handful of brands the cream of the crop, as it were. And thank you for pointing out top vs good. It's a hard bar to hit when everything has to be 100% all of the time. 60% is passing, 70% is average, 80% is great! My cats made it to 16 and 20 from being rescued from a hoarder at 4 weeks old and living with me with very little money. It was a mix of donated foods, wet and dry, and basic vet visits. Great video on guidelines and not getting cheated on value. I've been hungry before, so a few fillers is higher than going without for me.

Iam so great full for you Jackson, thankyou !

I really appreciate your breakdown on wet food and the lists. Youve helped me make a better mix. *Fowl mix white & dark. Bone broth & liver & heart. *Beef with liver & broth. *Multi small fish as sardines, tolopia, mackeral, sm frozen salmon (lesstoxic) no tuna. Probable tweek it after I check out your nutritional vid. Need taurine & vitamins.
