Review: Healthy Food That My Cat Eats Happily - I was hesitant to try this food at first because my cat is picky and I had just adopted her, so I didn’t yet know what she would like. She absolutely loved it and eats it with no problem. I feel good knowing it’s healthy, made with high-quality ingredients, real chicken, and no grains or harmful additives. I’m glad I gave it a try and will definitely keep buying it.
Review: No more vomiting! - The quality of this cat food is great. It’s high in protein and lower in carbs and fillers, which is what cats need. My cat Poet and I (along with his vet) struggled for a long time finding a cat food that works for him that wouldn’t upset his stomach. This is the one that works best for us. He no longer is vomiting as frequently as he was and he’s much healthier and happier. I know this cat food is a little bit on the pricier side, but I do think it’s worth every penny. The only thing about this cat food I would warn about is that the recommended serving size on the bag is 60 more than the calories your cat should be getting in a day if you have an average sized cat. Which doesn’t seem like a lot, but it is for a cat and can cause them to gain a bit of weight. I haven’t had the issue with feeding the serving size to one of my cats, but the other one did gain weight and is now slightly overweight.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Why have you changed the formula,  redefining it as better (NOT),  when there is less protein and less meat with harsh peas added ?**
A: This person is CORRECT! Any kind of PEA is not good for cats or dogs. Lentils not good either! Our pets lifespan has shortened over the century or so manufactures need to provide us with better food so our pets can live with us longer. Our pets are like family members we want them around as long as possible!

**Q: Why do you add menadione sodium bisulfite complex to your food? i'm switching brands to nulo.**
A: Hi there- When we updated our packaging in 2017, we increased the amount of fish ingredients in many of our recipes as a natural source of essential fatty acids. With this, we were required by AAFCO to increase our Vitamin K levels. The best way to provide the Vitamin K required on a consistent basis, while also maintaining a high level of meat ingredients that meet our raw nutrition philosophy, was to use Menadione Sodium Bisulfite Complex (MSBC), the only Vitamin K3 supplement that has no objection for use in pet food by the FDA. Because the level of naturally-occurring Vitamin K varies drastically in other natural ingredients, we supplement our food with Menadione Sodium Bisulfite Complex to be compliance with AAFCO’s new rules and to guarantee the we are providing the correct level of Vitamin K at all times. We only use it in the recipes where it is necessary due to the high amount of fish ingredients!

**Q: Does anyone know the carbohydrate percentage?**
A: Suggest you reach out to manufacturer for composition and specific answer.

**Q: What percent of fiber is in this?**
A: Hi Kara, the as-fed amount of fiber in this recipe is 3%. Thanks!
