I’m comparing homemade chicken cat food with complete wet food for my adult cat. I like knowing what goes into his meals, but I don’t want to miss essential nutrients. What would you recommend and why?
Would you choose homemade or complete wet food?

Hello. It is completely understandable that you want to control what your cat eats, but complete commercial wet food is strongly recommended over homemade meals.
Here is why:
Complex nutritional balance: A homemade diet based on chicken is not enough to meet all of a cat's strict nutritional requirements. Without the precise and rigorous addition of supplements (vitamins, minerals, taurine, calcium), home-cooked food quickly leads to severe deficiencies (particularly affecting the heart or bones).
Safety and convenience: Complete commercial wet foods are formulated by veterinary nutritionists to guarantee a perfectly balanced and safe daily diet.
If you are set on cooking for your pet, it is essential to consult your vet or an animal nutrition specialist so that they can provide a bespoke recipe with appropriate mineral and vitamin supplements.
Best regards,
Léo Mettas.
