While cats love fish, feeding it every day as a primary food source is generally not recommended. Fish, particularly certain types like tuna, can be high in mercury and can also be deficient in certain nutrients essential for a cat's long-term health, such as vitamin E, or have an imbalanced omega-3 to omega-6 fatty acid ratio, which can lead to deficiencies or health issues over time. It's best to feed a high-quality, balanced commercial cat food. Fish can be an occasional treat, but not a daily staple. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
