Feeding Guide
For adult cats (over 12 months): feed based on body weight and activity level. As a general guideline, an average adult cat (8-10 lbs) requires approximately 1/3 to 1/2 cup per day, divided into two meals. 1 cup = 110 grams (standard 8 oz measuring cup).
Gestation and lactation: provide increasing amounts during the second half of gestation, up to twice the normal intake. During lactation, provide as much as your cat will consume.
Kittens: introduce dry food around week five and provide as much as kittens will consume from weaning until 12 months of age.
Mixing wet and dry: reduce Tiki Cat Essentials by approximately 1/8 cup for every 2.8-3 oz can of Tiki Cat wet food added. Always provide access to clean, fresh water. Consult your veterinarian if unsure how much to feed.
Storage Instructions

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a grain-free formula?
Yes. Tiki Cat Essentials Chicken & Turkey contains no grains. Peas and chickpeas are used as carbohydrate sources in place of corn, wheat, or rice.
Why is menhaden fish meal included in a chicken and turkey formula?
Menhaden fish meal is added as a source of omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA), which are not as abundant in poultry-based proteins. It helps balance the omega-3 to omega-6 ratio to support skin, coat, and overall health without shifting the primary protein profile away from poultry.
How does this differ from the 6 lb bag?
This is the same Tiki Cat Essentials Chicken & Turkey formula in a larger 12 lb bag. It offers better value per pound and is ideal for households with multiple cats or those who prefer to stock up less frequently.
Can I mix this with wet food?
Yes. Tiki Cat Essentials dry food can be mixed with any Tiki Cat wet food to increase moisture intake and add variety. Reduce the dry portion by approximately 1/8 cup for every 2.8-3 oz can of wet food added.
