About the ingredient
Advantages:
High-Quality Protein: Codfish is a good source of high-quality protein, containing essential amino acids necessary for cats' growth and maintenance.
Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Codfish is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, such as EPA and DHA, which support skin and coat health, joint health, and overall immune function in cats.
Calcium and Phosphorus: Ground bone from cod provides natural sources of calcium and phosphorus, essential minerals for maintaining strong bones and teeth in cats.
Disadvantages:
Bone Safety: Ground bone from fish should ideally be finely ground to minimize the risk of splintering and choking hazards, especially for cats.
Taurine Content: While codfish is nutritious, it may not provide sufficient levels of taurine, an essential amino acid for cats. Taurine supplementation or inclusion from other sources may be necessary to meet cats' requirements.
Digestibility: Some cats may have sensitivities to certain types of fish. It's important to monitor for any signs of digestive upset or food sensitivities when introducing new ingredients.
