Premium Nutrition for Your Ragdoll Cat: A Breeder’s Guide

Feeding your Ragdoll a high-quality, species-appropriate diet is the foundation for a long and healthy life. We are transparent about our feeding philosophy to give your kitten the best possible start.

Our Ragdoll Feeding Philosophy

We believe in a balanced, high-meat diet that mirrors a cat’s natural nutritional needs. Our cats thrive on a mixed diet:

Primary Diet: A blend of 75% premium dry food and 25% high-quality wet food.

Brand of Choice: We trust and use SANABELLE for its exceptional quality and ingredients.

Natural Supplements: Their diet is occasionally supplemented with raw meats (chicken, liver, heart), eggs, and fish for variety and added nutrients.

Choosing the Best Wet Food for Your Cat

A rotating variety of wet food helps prevent picky eating and allows for easy dietary changes if needed. Here’s how to identify high-quality wet food:

Look for High Meat Content: Premium wet food should contain at least 60% meat. This is the primary ingredient your cat needs.

Avoid Harmful Fillers: Steer clear of foods with low meat content (e.g., 4-5%), as the rest is often made of indigestible fillers and by-products.

Animal By-Products: Can include feathers, hooves, skin, and bones.

Plant By-Products: Include straw, peanut shells, and grain residues, which cats cannot properly digest and can cause allergies.

Check for Hidden Sugars: Sugar is harmful to cats and can lead to diabetes and dental issues. Avoid foods containing ingredients like caramel, dextrose, fructose, or sucrose.

The Value of Quality: While premium food has a higher upfront cost, its superior digestibility and nutrient density mean your cat eats less and enjoys better health, making it more cost-effective over time.
