Currently, many myths persist among the public, especially among cat owners, regarding feeding their beloved pets. Many still believe that cats only need to be fed dry food without the need for wet food. This is further compounded by other myths, such as that feeding wet food is bad for teeth development.

In response, Takumi Terakawa, President Director of PT Uni-Charm Indonesia Tbk, stated that these myths are inaccurate. Cats really need wet food to supplement their nutritional intake.

"Education regarding the various myths surrounding wet food is still needed, especially for cat owners. In fact, many articles have shown that wet food is important for cats, and even veterinarians recommend it," Terakawa told reporters in Jakarta on Tuesday (September 3, 2024).

According to The Spruce Pets, wet food can be a good source of nutrition for cats and contains water, which can prevent dehydration. In fact, many veterinarians recommend that cats eat food exclusively, or be given more wet food.

According to Terakawa, wet food is highly recommended because it contains more nutrients and vitamins that cats need. "Choosing the right food for your cat is very important, because if you're not careful and choose safe food, it can be dangerous for your cat's health," he said.

This is the reason why PT Uni-Charm Indonesia Tbk launched Deli-Joy Pouch in January 2024, a wet cat food pouch that encourages healthy and hearty eating. Currently, there are two types of Deli-Joy Pouch: Deli-Joy Pouch Adult for adult cats over 12 months old, and Deli-Joy Pouch Kitten for kittens from weaning to 12 months.

This package comes in four delicious flavors: Tuna, Tuna topped with Katsuobushi (dried skipjack tuna slices), Tuna topped with Anchovies, and Tuna topped with Chicken.

Meanwhile, Deli-Joy Pouch Kitten boasts the All in 1 Kitten Grow feature, containing various nutrients kittens need for healthy growth. These include calcium to support bone and tooth growth, and Vitamins A, B, and D to maintain healthy vision and growth.

It also contains Taurine, an essential amino acid for supporting heart health, retinal health, and growth; and Niacin to maintain healthy skin. Deli-Joy Pouch Kitten is available in two flavors: Tuna & Skipjack Tuna and Tuna topped with Chicken.

"This delicious wet food is the one that makes cats eat heartily and is safe for consumption because of its natural ingredients. We also want to support kitten growth and development with Deli-Joy Pouch Kitten, which provides complete and balanced nutrition," said Terakawa.

"The Deli-Joy Pouch variant demonstrates our commitment to always providing convenience for cat owners. Specifically, in obtaining delicious, safe food made from high-quality ingredients, and helping your beloved cats eat heartily," he added.

Unicharm's research shows that when choosing wet cat food, consumers tend to pay attention to aromas and flavors that cats enjoy, balanced nutrition, and natural ingredients. "We believe that pets like cats are an important part of the family and need to be cared for and kept healthy," said Terakawa.
