Bengal Cat Nutrition
The diet you provide you Bengal cat is of crucial importance for the best health of your cat, and is one of the most important decisions you will make. A Bengal that is fed a high quality diet will feel good, have a stronger immune system and suffer from fewer illnesses. There are 3 main options when deciding what to feed your Bengal kitten. These are discussed below:
Raw Food
A kitten from Angeldust Bengals will have been raised being fed raw, complete meals sourced only from a specific reputable, specialist raw cat food company. These meals are nutritionally balanced and specifically for cats, with the correct proportion of bone, muscle meat and offal, with the correct supplementation added. This is vitally important to prevent nutritional deficiencies. We strongly recommend that your kitten continues with this diet once home with you and we provide lots more detail in our care booklet, which you will receive once you have reserved one of our Bengal kittens. Just some of the benefits of this diet include improved digestion, good breath, a stronger immune system, better energy levels, a decrease in feline diseases and ideal body weight. Our kittens absolutely thrive on this diet and leave us robust and healthy.
Complete Wet and dry diets
We recommend that you stick to the complete raw diet that your Bengal kitten has been raised on. However, sometimes this may not be practical or our customers may simply prefer to feed a wet and dry food diet. This should be high quality and age appropriate and we will recommend which specific brand to use in our care booklet once you have reserved your Angeldust Bengal kitten.
Good Heart Health
There has been a rise in cases of Dilated Cardiomyopathy (DCM) in the UK, linked to the rise in popularity of grain free, dry food diets that contain high proportions of peas, lentils, pulses, and sweet potatoes. Vets and scientists are still working out why these diets are linked to Dilated Cardiomyopathy, but they think that it's possible that these ingredients change the way certain nutrients, such as taurine and L Carnitine, are synthesised. Therefore, we ask that these grain free diets containing these ingredients are not fed to our Bengal cats and kittens.
