How Safe Are Fish Foods For Cats?

6 Top Reasons Why Cats Should NOT Eat Fish

How safe are fish foods for cats? 

Did you know that a leading cause of skin allergies and intolerances in cats are due to eating fish? Cats are HYDROPHOBIC as they have only ever lived as land mammals, so they would NEVER choose to jump into water to catch and eat fish......and yet almost every cat food brand available has the addition of highly non-sustainable fish protein added to their food!

Cats are highly sensitive to the heavy metals in fish as well as the actual protein in fish as shown in the graph below taken from a veterinary dermatology webinar with Nextmune. 

Heavy metal toxicities with Arsenic in particular result in kidney disease in cats are caused by cats eating foods rich in fish.

We absolutely agree with you Dr Mike Davies that far more emphasis needs to be put on prevention of our cats developing kidney disease due to eating fish contaminated with high levels of Arsenic. Why not feed cats the Omega 3s that they get from fish as a highly palatable and pure oil made of microalgae instead where fish get the Omegas from in the first place that has NO Arsenic contamination at all?!

What is ethoxyquin?

Ethoxyquin is a preservative used in fish meal, particularly during transport and storage as fish will undergo bacterial putrefaction just as soon as they are taken out of the water. It has been banned in some countries for human consumption, and there is some evidence it is harmful to a cat's liver function.

Many fish-based pet foods contain ethoxyquin, and there is no regulation requiring it to be labelled on pet foods. It’s just another reason to choose vegan cat foods!
