Don’t turn your nose up at pet food. A recent nutritional study has found that cat and dog food is far healthier than a lot of high-street nosh. Gourmet Gold cat food has only 2.9g of fat per 100g, which is eight times less than the percentage found in KFC pieces. But if you’re more of a dog person, I’d recommend the Cesar brand. A testimonial from their website reads: “Gizmo’s favourite is Turkey. When he finishes he actually looks like he has a smile on his face!” Not just healthy then, but genuinely happiness-inducing.
