ABOUT NATURE’S RECIPE® CAT FOOD:
Q.) What makes Nature's Recipe® Vitality Bites™ cat food special?
A.) Vitality Bites™ cat food is an innovative blend of vitamins, minerals and nutrients that’s so beneficial, you and your cat will notice the difference.
Nature’s Recipe® cat food makes choosing your cat’s food simple with a line of foods for every lifestyle. Our formulas have been developed by animal nutritionists and pet scientists for complete and balanced nutrition.
Unlike many other premium cat foods, Nature’s Recipe® cat food never uses beef or wheat. We only us highly digestible ingredients – proteins like chicken and lamb, carbohydrates like rice – plus the right combination of vitamins, mineral and essential nutrients. To enhance flavor, we use natural ingredients like meat broths and salmon oil. And, when the benefits of fiber are needed, we use natural sources from green peas and tomatoes.
And because it’s Nature’s Recipe® cat food, you won’t find a single artificial preservative, flavor or color. Nature's Recipe® cat food uses protein and fat that are preserved with mixed tocopherols and citric acids, not synthetic preservatives.
Q.) What is the history of Nature's Recipe® cat food in creating innovative diets to meet the special needs of cat owners?
A.) Originally, our diets were created as all-natural, home-cooked meals to meet the special needs of pets with life-threatening allergies to common pet food ingredients. This experience inspired us to develop a special line of diets so pet owners could have access to natural pet foods for special needs. The result was Nature's Recipe, the first company to approach pet health through an all-natural scientific regimen. A few of our innovations for cats include:
- First to use a blend of chicken, salmon and vegetable oils to provide Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids for healthy skin and soft, lustrous coats
Q.) What kind of natural preservatives are used in Nature's Recipe® cat foods?
A.) Nature's Recipe® cat food does not use any chemical preservatives, such as ethoxyquin, BHA, or BHT. It is naturally preserved with mixed tocopherols and citric acid
Q.) Do you make a vegetarian food for cats?
A.) Cats, unlike humans or dogs, are strict carnivores and have very high protein requirements. They do not require plant products in their diet. For example, cats do not have a strict requirement for carbohydrates and can't utilize beta-carotene as a source of vitamin A. For this reason we have not developed a vegetarian formula for cats.
ABOUT OUR CAT FOOD RECIPES:
Q.) My cat is used to eating Nature's Recipe® Vitality Bites™ Complete Formula Lamb & Rice cat food. Does Nature's Recipe® Vitality Bites™, Weight Control cat food have the same excellent taste?
A.) Yes! Our studies have shown that cats love the taste of these products, so you can be assured your cat will receive all the taste and nutrition he is used to, plus the added benefits built into these formulas.
Q.) What are the benefits of feeding my cat Nature's Recipe® Urinary Tract Health Formula?
A.) House cats are particularly susceptible to urinary system problems, especially if they are spayed or neutered. Nature's Recipe® Urinary System Formula provides a complete and balanced diet for adult cats with selected protein meals and mineral sources. This helps ensure that your cat does not receive excess levels of protein and minerals, known to be contributing factors to urinary health problems. To further ensure the effectiveness of Nature's Recipe® Urinary System Formula, always provide your cat with plenty of fresh water.
ABOUT FEEDING NATURE’S RECIPE® CAT FOOD:
Q.) How do you recommend feeding a cat that is on a special diet in a multi-cat household?
A.) Unfortunately, the best recommendation is to feed this cat separately from the other cats and keep the other food away from the cat on the special diet. This is difficult in multi-cat households, but can be accomplished with meal feeding as opposed to leaving the food out all of the time.
Q.) What is the shelf life of Nature's Recipe® cat products?
A.) Nature's Recipe® dry cat food products have a shelf-life of 18 months from the date of production and treat products have a shelf-life of 12 months from the date of production. Once opened, the product should be good for the time it takes the pet to consume the bag. We recommend the product be stored, tightly sealed, in a cool, dry place.
