Directions for Use
- Serving it dry: Just pour the nibbles into a stainless steel bowl - no prep needed when serving as a treat or topper.
- Rehydrating the food: Add about 1/4 cup of warm water to every 1/2 cup of nibbles and let it sit before serving.
- Adult cats: Split the daily amount into 2 meals, usually morning and evening.
- Kittens and nursing cats: Feed about double the normal daily amount and divide it into 3-4 small meals to match their higher energy needs.
- Switching from another food: Start with 25% of this food mixed with the current food, then slowly increase it over 7-10 days until fully switched.
Additional Information
Precautions
- Wash Your Hands: Raw pet food can carry bacteria, wash hands well with soap and warm water after every handling session.
- Go Slow With New Food: Switching too fast can upset your cat's stomach; phase in the new food over at least 7 to 10 days.
- Check With Your Vet First: If your cat has existing health issues or food allergies, loop in your vet before making the switch.
Storage Instructions

- No Fridge Required: The freeze-dried format is shelf-stable, so you don't need to refrigerate it until you add water to it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Is this freeze-dried duck food suitable for kittens?
Ans: Yes, it's formulated to meet AAFCO standards across all life stages, kittens included. Just double the recommended daily amount and split it into 3 to 4 meals throughout the day instead of the usual two, to match their higher energy and growth needs.
Q2: Can I serve this product dry without adding water?
Ans: Absolutely. You can pour the nibbles straight into the bowl and serve them as-is, no prep required. If you'd rather offer a fuller meal, just add 1/4 cup of warm water per 1/2 cup of food and let it rehydrate before serving.
Q3: Does this duck recipe contain any grains, gluten, or vegetables?
Ans: None at all. The recipe sticks to duck muscle meat, organs, and ground bone - that's it. No grains, no gluten, no added fruits or vegetables. It's designed to be a straightforward carnivore diet, which is what cats are built to thrive on.
Q4: How long does an opened bag stay fresh?
Ans: Once you open the bag, reseal it well after each use and aim to finish it within a month or two. Before opening, it keeps for up to 2 years in a cool, dry spot, no freezer needed. Refrigeration only becomes necessary once you've added water.
Q5: How do I transition my cat to this freeze-dried diet?
Ans: Take it slow with food changes, cats can get an upset stomach if things switch too fast. Start with about 25% of the new food mixed into their current food, then slowly increase it over 7 to 10 days.
Q6: What is the calorie content of this duck recipe?
Ans: Each ounce provides around 173 kcal as fed. That works out to roughly 4,905 kcal per kilogram. How much your cat actually needs will depend on their size, age, activity level, and whether they're eating this as their only food or alongside something else.
