FAQs
Is this food suitable for kittens?
This product is formulated for adult cats. Kittens have different nutritional requirements and should be fed a diet specifically designed for kittens. Consult your veterinarian for kitten feeding recommendations.
How much of this food should I feed my cat per day?
The recommended doses are approximately 3.5 cans per day for a 4kg cat, 4.5 cans for a 6kg cat, and 5.5 cans for an 8kg cat. These are guidelines and may need adjustment based on your cat's age, activity level, and individual metabolism.
What does 'grain-free' mean for my cat?
Grain-free means the food does not contain common grains like corn, wheat, or soy. This can be beneficial for cats with sensitivities or allergies to these ingredients.
Can I leave the wet food out for my cat all day?
No, wet food should not be left out at room temperature for extended periods. After opening and serving, refrigerate any leftovers and consume within 48 hours.
What are the main protein sources in this food?
The main protein sources are real chicken (60%), including gizzards, livers, and hearts, and duck (6%).
Why is the broth important?
The broth is important because it increases the moisture content of the food, helping to provide essential hydration for your cat, which is crucial for kidney health and overall well-being.
How should I store unopened cans?
Unopened cans should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.
Troubleshooting
Cat is hesitant to eat the new food.
Ensure the food is served at room temperature. Gradually mix the new food with the old food over several days to help the cat adjust to the new flavor and texture.
Food appears dry or separated in the can.
This can be normal for wet food. Stir the contents thoroughly to mix the broth with the solid ingredients before serving.
Cat experiences digestive upset (vomiting or diarrhea).
Discontinue feeding and consult your veterinarian. While formulated for adult cats, individual sensitivities can occur. Ensure you are following feeding guidelines and not overfeeding.
Leftover food is not being consumed within 48 hours.
Discard any opened food that has been refrigerated for longer than 48 hours to prevent spoilage. Consider serving smaller portions or using food storage covers designed for pet food cans.
