How about Nutro cat food brand introduction

Founded in 1926, Meishi is a natural food brand in line with the AAFCO of the United States, a mid-range pet food brand under Mars, and one of the American dog food brands recommended by WDJ. Maxims has its own pet food factories, all of which are inspected by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for Good Manufacturing Practices and are recognized by the FDA.
 
North America is rich in products and has developed agriculture, providing abundant and easily available resources for pet food production. Meishi is also one of the beneficiary enterprises, and most of the vegetables and fruits in the raw materials come from the United States and Canada. Produced from high-quality crops and meats, processed in a way that is as close to their original form as possible, without the addition of artificial preservatives, flavours or colours. Like most manufacturers who focus on the quality of their ingredients, Maxim promises to never use ingredients such as chicken by-products, corn, wheat or soy protein.
 
At present, Meishi's cat food products are more, covering dry food and wet food; Dry food has different designs for kittens and adult cats, and there are also corresponding products for weight control, hair balling, and high protein supplementation, and there are currently 12 formulas.
 
In terms of its formula, Shorts has a common problem with mid-range brands - the key animal protein is provided by meat and meat meal, although the crude protein content is more than 30%, but the common use of plant protein (such as pea protein) filling, so the animal protein content is less. In addition, the raw materials contain a lot of carbohydrates such as brown rice and oatmeal, which are not easy to absorb and may cause allergies. The formula is more desirable because it uses natural flavors and chicken fat to enhance palatability and help cats eat; Taurine is also added to help brighten the eye, and there is basically no omission in minerals and nutrients.
 
The best-selling chicken flavored kitten food is the most protein-rich single product, with a protein of more than 36%, and the main energy components are chicken and chicken meal, as well as chicken fat, but it is not recommended for kittens to eat daily, and can be used to feed adult or elderly cats with slightly lower protein requirements. It should be noted that excessive carbohydrates cannot be fully digested and utilized, which is easy to cause gastrointestinal discomfort and large stool, and some cats with gastrointestinal allergies are not recommended to eat.
 
The price of this cat food 3kg pack is about 48 yuan per catty, and the cost performance is not dominant. However, the strength of the Meishi manufacturer is better, the quality is guaranteed, there is a Tmall flagship store online, which is convenient and easy to buy, and it is also one of the suitable backup options in the case of imported cat food being out of stock.
