Pork is a novel protein that is naturally low in sodium and fat, making this recipe an excellent option for cats with sensitivities to more common proteins like chicken or beef, or for those requiring a lower-fat diet. Cold freeze-dried without cooking to preserve natural nutrients, taurine, and flavor, these small bite-sized nuggets are easy to rehydrate and serve a clean, convenient, and species-appropriate choice even for the most selective of cats.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eBenefits\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin-top: 0cm;\" type=\"disc\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eNovel Protein for Sensitive Cats:\u003c\/b\u003e Pork is a less commonly used protein in commercial cat food, making this recipe a suitable rotation option for cats with known sensitivities to chicken or beef, or those benefiting from dietary variety to reduce the risk of developing food intolerances.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e95% Free-Range Pork, Organ \u0026amp;

It is designed to serve as a cat's full daily diet and is appropriate for kittens, adult cats, and seniors when fed in adequate daily amounts.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eQ2: Why is pork considered a good option for cats with food sensitivities?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eAns: Pork is a novel protein that is less commonly used in commercial cat food, which reduces the likelihood of prior sensitization. It is also naturally low in sodium and lower in fat, making it a suitable choice for cats with sensitivities to chicken or beef, or those needing dietary variety.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eQ3: Is it safe to feed pork raw to cats?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eAns: Yes. Steve's Real Food takes specific steps to ensure the pork is safe, including sourcing from high-quality, USDA-verified family farms, using high-pressure processing to eliminate harmful pathogens and parasites, and freezing the pork to temperatures well below CDC recommendations to eliminate trichinella.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eQ4: Must this freeze-dried food always be rehydrated before serving as a meal?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eAns: Yes. While a few dry nuggets as treats are acceptable, the full daily meal must always be rehydrated before serving.
