Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Why is taurine important, and how does freeze-dried poultry preserve it?

Ans: Taurine is an essential amino acid for the cat's heart, eye, and reproductive health. Freeze-drying preserves taurine naturally present in poultry organs better than high-heat cooking methods.

Q2: Is this formula suitable for kittens and senior cats?

Ans: Yes, high-protein complete AAFCO formula supports all life stages. Kittens require 19% animal protein minimum; seniors benefit from easily digestible, high-protein nutrition.

Q3: How does freeze-drying compare to traditional kibble processing?

Ans: Freeze-drying preserves vitamins, minerals, and enzymes at low temperatures. Kibble uses high-heat cooking, destroying heat-sensitive nutrients and denaturating beneficial enzymes significantly.

Q4: Can I feed this to cats with sensitive stomachs?

Ans: Yes, highly digestible poultry organs and preserved enzymes support sensitive systems. Introduce gradually over seven to ten days. Consult a vet if the cat has been diagnosed with food allergies.

Q5: How do I transition my cat to this new food?

Ans: Gradually mix increasing amounts with the current food over seven to ten days. Rapid transitions disrupt gut bacteria balance and cause vomiting, diarrhea, and temporary digestive upset.

Q6: Is this freeze-dried cat food safe from bacterial contamination?

Ans: Freeze-drying reduces pathogens but doesn't eliminate all bacteria. Handle with raw meat safety practices: wash hands thoroughly; keep surfaces clean. Follow FDA recommendations strictly.

Q7: What makes the 87% poultry content significant for cats?

Ans: Cats require 26% minimum protein; adults maintain muscle better with 40%+ protein. High-quality poultry provides all eleven essential amino acids, including methionine and cysteine, for optimal health.

Q8: Should I rehydrate this food or serve it dry?

Ans: Serve either way; cats prefer dry for crunch. Rehydrating with warm water aids cats in drinking less water, improving hydration and digestion significantly.

Q9: Is this formula AAFCO-certified for complete nutrition?

Ans: Yes, 5-star rated complete AAFCO adult maintenance formula. Provides 100% balanced nutrition as a primary food source without requiring supplements or additional ingredients.
