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.
Why rabbit as a protein source?
Rabbit is a novel protein, meaning most cats have not been previously exposed to it. This makes it an excellent choice for cats with food sensitivities or allergies to more common proteins like chicken, turkey, or fish. It is also naturally lean and highly digestible.
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 multiple protein sensitivities?
Yes. With rabbit as the only protein source, this is one of the cleanest limited-ingredient options available. Always consult your veterinarian before switching to a novel protein diet if your cat has a diagnosed food allergy.
