Wet Food: Juicy Meals with Plenty of Moisture for Your Cat

Wet Food: Juicy and Rich in Moisture

In the wild, cats get a large part of their fluid from their prey. Wet food comes close to this natural way of eating: it contains plenty of moisture, smells enticing and most cats are happy to eat it. Cats that drink little benefit from it in particular. With us you'll find the Winner Plus Super Premium Menu for cats in tins and trays, for example with beef and other varieties.

More fluid for your cat

Many cats have a weak sense of thirst and drink less than is good for them. With moist food, your cat automatically takes in water with every meal, which supports her fluid balance and her kidneys. You should still always provide fresh drinking water. If you notice that your cat suddenly drinks a great deal or hardly at all, a visit to the vet is a good idea, as a change in drinking habits can be an early sign of illness.

Tins and trays in everyday life

One advantage of wet food is variety. Different flavours bring some change to the bowl without you having to switch food all the time. Trays are usually meant for one meal, while larger tins last for several portions. It's best to serve the food at room temperature, as the aroma develops better that way. Clear away leftovers that have been sitting in the bowl for a while so that nothing spoils.

Frequently asked questions

How long does an opened tin of wet food keep?
Covered in the fridge, opened wet food stays fresh for about one to two days. A lid or some cling film stops it drying out or taking on other smells. Take the portion out in good time so it doesn't land in the bowl fridge-cold.

How long can wet food stay in the bowl?
At room temperature a few hours at most, and much less in summer. After that it dries out, becomes unappetising and attracts flies. It's better to give smaller portions and top up when needed.

My cat only licks off the gravy. What can I do?
The gravy smells especially strong, so it often gets eaten first. Mash the meat chunks a little with a fork and mix them into the gravy. If the chunks are regularly left behind, try a different flavour or texture.
