It is designed to serve as a cat's full daily diet and is appropriate for kittens, adults, and senior cats when fed in adequate daily amounts.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eQ2: Where does the chicken in this recipe come from?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eAns: The chicken is sourced from a family-owned farm in the Pacific Northwest, where the chickens are free-range, certified organic, and raised with no added antibiotics, hormones, or preservatives. They are fed a vegetarian diet and have access to outdoor space year-round.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eQ3: Must this freeze-dried food always be rehydrated before serving?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eAns: Yes. While offering a few dry nuggets as treats is acceptable, the full daily meal must always be fully rehydrated before serving. Unhydrated food absorbs moisture in the digestive tract, which can dehydrate cats and may lead to constipation or intestinal discomfort.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eQ4: How do you rehydrate this freeze-dried chicken cat food?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eAns: Add ¾ cup of warm water per 1 cup of freeze-dried food, stir to ensure even coverage, and allow approximately 5 minutes for the liquid to absorb into the nuggets. Warm low-sodium bone broth or raw goat's milk are also excellent rehydration options that enhance palatability.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eQ5: How much should a cat be fed daily?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eAns: A general starting guideline is approximately 2.5% of your cat's body weight per day, divided across two or more feedings. Use the feeding calculator at stevesrealfood.com\/feeding-calculator for a personalized daily recommendation. Note that this recipe is lower in fat, so monitor body condition to ensure adequate caloric intake.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eQ6: Is this recipe suitable for kittens?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eAns: Yes, Steve's Real Food confirms that feeding kittens raw from an early age is encouraged and aligns with their natural dietary needs. The chicken recipe is recommended as an easy-to-digest starting protein for young cats and kittens.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eQ7: How does the chicken recipe differ from the beef recipe nutritionally?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eAns: The chicken recipe has a lower fat content (22% min vs. 37% min for beef) and fewer calories at 199 kcal\/cup versus 233 kcal\/cup for beef. This makes chicken a leaner option, though pet parents should monitor portion size to ensure sufficient daily caloric intake.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eQ8: How long does an opened bag of this freeze-dried cat food stay fresh?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eAns: Once opened, the bag should be resealed tightly and stored in a cool, dark cupboard away from direct sunlight and moisture.
