Choosing the right cat food is crucial for the health and well-being of our feline friends. A choice that is not facilitated by the plethora of options available on the market. As you browse through this wide array of feline treats, you may come across terms such as “food for cats for all life stages,” “all breeds,” or “all ages” on labels. But what does that actually mean – especially in terms of your own cat’s nutritional needs for their specific breed, age and life stage?
Let’s start with an explanation of the technicalities behind the term: for a pet food, cat or otherwise, to be classified as “all life stages”, it must pass a certain protocol used by the Association of American Feed Control Officials (AFFCO). The AFFCO has established a series of specific requirements and guidelines to ensure that foods labeled as such have the necessary nutrient content to fully support all four stages of life:
- Gestation
- Lactation
- Growth
- Interview
Cat foods at all life stages – such as RAWZ No-Meal Dry Recipes and Cat Pâtés – have therefore been rigorously tested to ensure they meet nutritional standards for cats at different stages of development. Which means that as long as the right amount is fed, your cat gets all the nutrition it needs to thrive at all stages and ages – kitten, adult, senior and everything in between.
It’s legalese.
But what does your cat’s palate, health or happiness care about in technical jargon? Read on for a more in-depth look at what the right “cat food for all life stages” can do to make your life easier – and tickle your feline’s imagination!

So, we already know that cat food formulas of all life stages, breeds, and ages are designed to provide adequate nutrition for growth, maintenance, and overall well-being throughout your cat’s life.
