A well-fed, well-hydrated cat is a happy cat and Nutrition and Hydration Week is the perfect time to make sure your feline friend is getting everything they need. From a protein-packed diet, to plenty of fresh water, here’s how to keep them purring with satisfaction.

Give them the goodness they deserve

Cats aren’t just picky eaters, they’re obligate carnivores. This means they need real meat to thrive. The key ingredients in their diet should be:

  • Protein: Fuels muscles and energy for all those playful pounces.
  • Taurine: Supports heart and vision health (because every cat needs their sharp senses!).
  • Healthy fats: Keeps their coat glossy and their skin healthy.
  • Minimal carbs: Cats aren’t built for carb-heavy diets, so high-protein food is always best.

At Encore, we believe in feeding cats the real food they crave, packed with natural ingredients and absolutely nothing artificial. Because when it comes to mealtime, they deserve the very best.

Why hydration is just as important

Does your cat turn their nose up at the water bowl? You’re not alone! Cats often don’t drink enough water, which can lead to urinary and kidney issues. The good news? You can sneak hydration into their diet with a few simple tricks.

  • Serve up wet food: Moisture-rich meals like Encore Wet Food will help keep them hydrated.
  • Keep fresh water available: A clean, full water bowl for them to lap from is a must.
  • Try a water fountain: Lots of cats prefer running water over still bowls.

Is your cat thriving?

Signs of healthy nutrition & hydration:

  • Shiny coat: Soft, glossy fur = a healthy, happy cat.
  • Bright eyes: Clear, alert, and ready to take on the world.
  • Healthy weight: Neither underweight nor overweight – just right.
  • Steady energy: Playful and active when they should be.
  • Mental sharpness: No changes to their usual quirks or habits.

This Nutrition and Hydration Week, take a minute to check your cat’s diet and water intake. A few small changes can make a big difference to keep them happy, healthy, and full of life.

At Encore, we believe great food leads to great moments, so let’s make every mealtime one to purr about!
