What type of food is best for indoor cats?

Since indoor cats are less active than outdoor ones, choosing food with the right nutrient balance is key to keeping them in peak health. Indoor cats thrive on a balanced diet that includes moderate calories, fiber for digestion, and omega fatty acids for a healthy coat. High-protein, low-carb foods with added hydration are ideal.

Is wet food or dry food better for indoor cats?

Both wet and dry food have their benefits! Wet food provides hydration and is often preferred by picky eaters, while dry food helps maintain dental health and is convenient to store. Many cat parents choose a combination to give their feline the best of both worlds. Fortunately, Chewy offers a variety of indoor cat food options in both wet and dry formulas, so you can find the perfect match for your pet's needs.

What's the difference between indoor and outdoor cat food?

Indoor cat food is formulated with fewer calories, higher fiber content, and ingredients that help reduce hairballs and odor from litter boxes. Outdoor cat food, on the other hand, is often higher in protein and fat to support a more active lifestyle. Since indoor cats burn fewer calories throughout the day, a diet tailored to their lifestyle is crucial.
