This makes it an excellent choice for cats with food sensitivities or allergies to more common proteins like chicken, turkey, or fish. Duck is also naturally rich in iron and essential amino acids.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I rehydrate the mini patties?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSimply 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this formula appropriate for cats with multiple protein sensitivities?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes.
