While it isn’t an organic cat food, Natural Balance Cat Food is a great all natural cat food. It doesn’t have the organic ingredients, but it does have the other things I look for in a high quality cat food.
I’ve become a strong believer that it is well worth the time to find a premium cat food. You may need to try a few to find the ones your cat or cats love, and you may not be able to buy it at your local grocery store, but once you start feeding your cat a quality natural or organic cat food you will notice the difference. You kitty will be happier and healthier, and you should notice less shedding, a healthier coat and hopefully less unscheduled visits to the vet.

Although it’s not actually an organic cat food, Wellness Cat Food ranks high on the list in our household.
Both of my cats absolutely love this food. I believe in rotating cat foods so I give them a variety of good quality cat foods but when I give them Wellness cat food the bowls are always licked clean.
Wellness cat food is a great choice for your cat because they truly care about what goes into their pet food, and what shouldn’t. Their foods don’t contain meat by-products. They are also free of possible allergens like corn, wheat or soy. You won’t find artificial flavors, colors or preservatives in these foods either.

When it comes to organic food, including organic cat food, the Newman’s brand comes to mind. Paul Newman’s company didn’t stop at people food, they also wanted to provide quality pet foods to promote health and well being in our pets as well.
Newman’s Own Organic Cat Food focuses on using quality ingredients including organic chicken (instead of chicken by product), peas, carrots, flax seed meal and even parsley. These cat foods also contain probiotics to help promote healthy digestion and overall intestinal health. They avoid the byproducts and cheap fillers and instead use quality ingredients that truly will benefit your cat’s health.
Because Newman’s Own cat foods are USDA certified organic you can feel good about the smaller environmental impact of producing this pet food, and you can feel better knowing you’re not feeding your cat food that has chemical residue. Like all Newman’s products they also donate profits to charity.

There are multiple isles with multiple shelves containing multiple varieties and brands of cat food. How do you know which one is truly a health cat food? Is natural cat food best, or is organic cat food best? You might try to read the labels and the packaging, but if you don’t know what you’re looking for you may still feel pretty confused about what’s truly the best for your cat’s health. That’s the way I felt anyway, so I started doing more intensive research on natural cat food.
Here are some ingredients to look for and to avoid when you are shopping for a healthy or natural cat food:

More people are looking into raw food diets for cats as they start to think more seriously about what their cats are eating and what they feel they should be eating. Our pets are part of the family and with a combination of concerns about ingredients used in commercial pet foods and thoughts of a more species appropriate diet it makes sense that more people are considering this type of cat food.
You can either choose to use homemade cat food recipes and make the food yourself or you can buy it premade from pet food companies that specialize in this. A raw food diet isn’t as simple as giving your cat a raw chicken breast; cats need other nutrients as well so it is best to follow an approved recipe or to buy already prepared raw cat food. The benefit of making it yourself is that you can control the ingredients and make your own organic cat food if you want, or you can add specific ingredients to improve your cat’s health.
Proponents of this type of diet feel it is more natural than feeding your cat processed dry kibble. Of course there are concerns about salmonella in raw food, but the concerns may be more valid for the way you handle the food than for your cat.
