Check the label on your cat food bags or cans to verify that it is nutritionally complete. The American Feed Control Officials(AAFCO) regulates nutrition and labeling in cats food products.

Read the label on the can or bag of cat food. Make sure meat is listed as the first ingredient . The ingredient that is listed first makes up the biggest part of the cat food. Avoid buying cat food that lists flour, wheat or corn in the first 5 ingredients.
