Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a complete meal or a topper?
This is a complete and balanced cat food that can be served as your cat's primary meal - either as-is or rehydrated with warm water. It can also be crumbled over dry food as a high-protein topper.

What does freeze-dried raw mean?
Freeze-drying removes moisture from raw ingredients at low temperatures, preserving the natural nutrients, enzymes, and flavor of raw food without cooking or adding preservatives. The result is a shelf-stable food that retains the nutritional profile of a raw diet.

How do I rehydrate the mini patties?
Simply crumble the patties, add warm water, mix well, and serve. Rehydrating adds moisture to your cat's diet, which is especially beneficial for cats that don't drink enough water on their own.

Is this formula appropriate for cats with poultry allergies?
No. This recipe contains chicken, chicken heart, and chicken liver, and is not appropriate for cats with known poultry sensitivities. Consider a novel protein formula such as duck, rabbit, or pork instead.
