Additional Information

Precautions

Transition Slowly: Always introduce new food gradually over 5 to 7 days to avoid digestive upset, particularly for cats new to raw or freeze-dried diets.

Handling: Wash hands and utensils after handling raw pet food to maintain proper food hygiene at all times.

Discard Leftovers: Once rehydrated, discard any uneaten food after 2 hours to prevent spoilage and maintain food safety.

Feeding Amounts: Ideal feeding amounts vary by age, weight, and activity level — use the feeding guidelines as a starting point and adjust portions as needed.

Possible Side Effects

Digestive Adjustment: Cats transitioning from cooked or canned food to a raw or freeze-dried diet may experience mild digestive changes; gradual introduction over 5 to 7 days helps minimize discomfort.

Chicken Sensitivity: Cats with known sensitivities to chicken or poultry should be introduced carefully; discontinue use and consult a veterinarian if any adverse reactions occur after feeding.

Overfeeding Risk: Always adjust feeding amounts based on your cat’s individual weight, age, and activity level to avoid unintended weight gain over time.
