Description
Feline Natural is the heavy hitter of the New Zealand pet food world, and for good reason. This Chicken & King Salmon Feast isn't just cat food; it’s a reconstructed prey model optimized for the modern "house panther." By using a 98% meat, organ, and bone profile, Feline Natural bypasses the glycemic spikes caused by the starches found in traditional kibble.
The inclusion of New Zealand Green Lipped Mussels is a masterstroke for long-term wellness. These mussels are a natural powerhouse of glycosaminoglycans (like glucosamine) and omega-3 fatty acids, which provide a dual-action benefit: they dampen systemic inflammation while lubricating aging joints. For kittens, the sustainably farmed King Salmon provides the DHA necessary for retinal and cognitive development.
From a technical standpoint, the freeze-drying process involves sublimation—removing moisture under a vacuum while the food is frozen. This preserves the heat-sensitive vitamins and enzymes that canning often destroys. The result is a nutrient density that allows you to feed less volume while delivering more caloric energy. It’s the closest you can get to a raw, wild diet with the convenience of a shelf-stable bag.

Feeding Guideline
Feed as a complete & balanced meal
Feline Natural Freeze-Dried Feasts can be served dry, or rehydrated by adding warm water.
For rehydration, we recommend mixing 1 cup of food and ¼ cup of water. Warm water should feel comfortable when tested on the back of your hand.
Feed as a tasty topper
Sprinkle a small amount over your cat’s usual food to increase nutrient content and palatability.
Topping is a great way to introduce freeze-dried food to see if it is right for you and your cat.
Pro-Tip
If your cat is a "texture snob" who refuses rehydrated mush, try the "Dusting Method." Crush two or three pellets into a fine powder and sprinkle it over their existing food. This slowly acclimates their palate to the high-protein scent of New Zealand chicken and salmon before you attempt a full transition to the rehydrated "Feast" texture.
Frequent Asked Questions
Is Feline Natural cat food grain-free?
Yes, this formula contains no grain, wheat, corn, soy, or fillers, making it ideal for cats with digestive sensitivities or allergies.
How do I prepare Feline Natural freeze-dried food?
Simply crumble the desired amount into a bowl and add warm water (not boiling) to rehydrate. This restores the moisture essential for feline kidney health.
Can I use this as a treat or topper?
Absolutely. Because of its high nutrient density and intense flavour, many Canadian pet owners use it as a high-value training treat or a topper to entice picky eaters.
What Pet Parents Are Saying About This Product
The "Glow-Up" Effect. Owners of long-haired breeds like Maine Coons and Persians report a visible difference in coat luster and a reduction in "dandruff" within 30 days, likely due to the high-quality King Salmon oil and Green Mussel lipids.
The "Pellet Paradox." While the ingredients are 5-star, the freeze-dried texture is lightweight and airy. Some "kibble-addict" cats may initially treat the dry pellets as toys rather than food—rehydration is often mandatory for the "buy-in."
