Does anyone know if there is mercury in canned cat foods?

Question

I know tuna fish for humans has too much mercury in it to feed cats and can cause very serious problems given too much of it, but I'm wondering if cat canned fish foods have the same dangerous amounts or not?

Is Friskies, tuna and egg OK?

Or are there better brands of canned fish that would be OK?

Answer 2

All tuna has a certain amount of mercury. My cats LOVE tuna but I only give it to them as a special treat. There are plenty of other cat food flavors you can buy your cat and stay away from tuna.

Hi there...most of the commercial canned food for cats unfortunately contains high levels of byproducts and preservatives which would be isn't healthy for cats in the long term. In regards to Tuna it always will have levels of mercury found any items that are for consumption. Consider looking for ingredients that indicate no byproducts and BHTs or additives.
