Jun 26, 2018 at 17:45 comment added vale.maio2 Thank you for your answer, I appreciate it. There's something that I still don't get: take this cat food as an example. It states that it has a 4% content of tuna which, if I'm not mistaken, gives a 4g per pouch (each pouch is 100g). Feeding 2 to 3 pouches a day means around 8g to 12g of tuna a day, not so different from what I'm currently doing. Am I missing something? I'm not trying to be right at all cost, I just can't see the difference between that tuna and canned tuna.
