Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Is Dr. Marty Nature's Feast complete and balanced for all cat life stages?
Ans: Yes, this formula is AAFCO-approved, complete, and balanced for growth, reproduction, and adult maintenance. It meets all essential amino acid requirements, including taurine, for kittens and adult cats throughout life.
Q2: What makes freeze-dried raw cat food better than traditional kibble or canned food?
Ans: Freeze-drying preserves nutrients, enzymes, and natural amino acids without heat degradation. It retains raw nutrition's bioavailability and palatability while providing shelf-stability and convenience superior to kibble processing methods.
Q3: Can I feed this as the sole diet, or should I mix it with other foods?
Ans: This complete and balanced formula can be fed as a sole diet or mixed with kibble or canned food. Gradual transition over 7-10 days prevents digestive upset. Consult your vet regarding individual nutritional needs and preferences.
Q4: How should I prepare Dr. Marty Nature's Feast for my cat?
Ans: Serve dry directly from the bag for convenience or rehydrate with warm water, bone broth, or goat milk to 70-80% moisture. Rehydration improves palatability for picky eaters and increases hydration for cats with low water intake.
Q5: Does this food contain all the necessary taurine for my cat's heart and vision health?
Ans: Yes. This formula contains adequate taurine from beef, salmon, and poultry sources to meet AAFCO minimums (1 g/kg dry matter) for complete cardiac and vision health throughout all life stages.
Q6: Is freeze-dried cat food safe, or does it carry bacterial contamination risks like raw diets?
Ans: Freeze-drying is NOT sterilization; bacteria like Salmonella and Toxoplasma can survive dormant. Proper handling, like that of raw meat, is essential. Manufacturers using HPP (High-Pressure Pasteurization) eliminate these risks; verify with the manufacturer.
Q7: Will freeze-dried food cause constipation or digestive issues in my cat?
Ans: Improperly rehydrated freeze-dried food (inadequate water) can cause constipation. Always rehydrate to 70-80% moisture or ensure adequate water access. Senior cats are at higher risk; monitor bowel health closely.
Q8: How long does an opened bag of Dr. Marty Nature's Feast stay fresh?
Ans: Properly stored opened bags (sealed, cool, dry place away from sunlight) last 2-4 weeks. Store unopened bags at room temperature indefinitely. Check for spoilage signs: unusual odor, discoloration, or sticky texture.
Q9: Is this formula suitable for cats with sensitive stomachs or dietary allergies?
Ans: Yes, single-protein options and a limited ingredient profile suit many sensitive cats. Gradual transition and proper rehydration minimize upset. Consult your vet before feeding if your cat has diagnosed food sensitivities or allergies.

Additional carrier or re-delivery charges resulting from an incorrect or incomplete address may be the customer's responsibility where permitted by law.
