Disclaimer: Product information and usage guidelines are provided by the manufacturer. Always use products as directed on the label and consult your veterinarian before use if you have any concerns regarding your pet’s health.
Directions for Use
- Rehydrate Before Serving: Pour nibbles into a flat stainless steel bowl, add warm water, let food rehydrate fully, then serve to your cat.
- Dry Feeding Option: Nibbles can also be poured and fed straight from the bag without rehydration if preferred.
- Split Daily Meals: Adult cats should receive their daily serving split across two separate feedings breakfast and dinner for optimal digestion and satisfaction.
- Kitten Feeding Frequency: Kittens and pregnant or lactating females require 3-4 smaller meals spread throughout the day.
- Fresh Water Always: Always ensure clean, fresh water is available alongside freeze-dried food, especially when served dry.
Additional Information
Precautions
- Switching food: Don’t change your cat’s diet all at once. Go slow over 10 days so their stomach can adjust and you don’t end up with vomiting or loose stools.
- Feeding amount: Even good-quality food can cause issues if you overdo it. Stick to the feeding guide on the pack instead of guessing portions.
- Vet check: If your cat already has health issues or special dietary needs, it’s better to check with your vet before changing their food.
- Keep away from kids: This is made only for cats, so it’s not safe or meant for human use and should be stored where children can’t reach it.
Storage Intructions
- Unopened Shelf Life: Store unopened bags in a cool, dry place; product remains fresh for up to 2 years when left sealed and properly stored.
- After Opening: Once opened, keep in a cool, dry location and use within 1–2 months to maintain optimal freshness and nutritional quality.
- Avoid Heat & Moisture: Keep away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and humidity, as these can degrade the freeze-dried product over time.
- Reseal After Use: Always reseal the bag tightly after each use to preserve freshness, prevent moisture absorption, and extend product usability.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Is this freeze-dried turkey cat food suitable for all life stages?
Ans: Yes, this recipe meets AAFCO Cat Food Nutrient Profiles for all life stages. It is appropriate for kittens, adults, seniors, and pregnant or lactating females when fed in amounts adjusted to body weight, age, and activity level.
Q2: Do I need to add water before serving this freeze-dried food?
Ans: Rehydration is recommended but not required. You can serve the nibbles dry straight from the bag or rehydrate with ¼ cup of warm water per ½ cup of food. Adding water increases moisture intake, which is beneficial for cats that don't drink enough water on their own.
Q3: Can this treat be used as a food topper instead of a full meal?
Ans: Yes, this freeze-dried turkey recipe functions as a complete and balanced meal but can also be offered as a treat or topper added to your cat's current food. This makes it easy to gradually introduce raw nutrition to cats who are transitioning from conventional diets.
Q4: How long does an opened bag of this freeze-dried cat food stay fresh?
Ans: Once opened, the bag should be resealed tightly and kept in a cool, dry place. When stored properly after opening, the product remains fresh for 1 to 2 months. An unopened bag has a shelf life of up to 2 years when kept in appropriate storage conditions.
Q5: Does this turkey recipe contain any grains, gluten, or artificial additives?
Ans: No, this recipe is completely grain-free and gluten-free with no artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives added. Mixed tocopherols (a natural vitamin E compound) are used as a natural preservative, making it a clean-label option suitable for cats with food sensitivities.
Q6: How should I transition my cat from their current food to this freeze-dried recipe?
Ans: Start by mixing a small amount of the freeze-dried nibbles into your cat's current food. Over 10 days, gradually increase the portion of new food while reducing the old diet. This slow transition helps prevent digestive upset and allows your cat's system to adjust comfortably.
