Feeding Guide
Every cat is unique and their raw feeding plan should reflect their individual needs. Factors like age, weight, and activity level all play a role in how much to feed. Kittens, pregnant, and nursing cats may need up to twice as much as an adult cat. Transitioning to raw often takes extra patience - a gradual approach helps your cat adjust to new flavors and textures while supporting healthy digestion. Always provide access to clean, fresh water.
Storage Instructions
Keep sealed and stored in a cool, dry, dark place. Best if fed within 30 days after opening. Keep out of reach of young children and other pets. Not for human consumption.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a complete meal or a topper?
This is a complete and balanced cat food designed to serve as your cat's primary meal. It can also be used as a topper over dry food for added raw nutrition.
What is the difference between mini nibs and mini patties?
Mini nibs are small, ready-to-serve pieces that require no prep - simply scoop and serve. Mini patties can be served as-is or crumbled and rehydrated. Both deliver the same whole-animal nutrition; the nib format is ideal for cats who prefer smaller, bite-sized pieces or for owners who want the most convenient raw feeding experience.
Why pork as a protein source?
Pork is a novel protein for most cats, making it an excellent choice for cats with sensitivities to more common proteins like chicken, turkey, or fish. It is naturally rich in B vitamins and essential amino acids.
Is this formula appropriate for kittens?
Kittens, pregnant, and nursing cats can be fed this formula but may require up to twice the amount of an adult cat. Consult your veterinarian for specific feeding guidance for your kitten's age and weight.
