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
- Before You Open It: Keep the sealed bag somewhere cool and dry, it'll stay good for up to 2 years without refrigeration.
- Once Opened: Reseal tightly after each use and finish it within 1 to 2 months for the best quality and freshness.
- No Fridge Required: The freeze-dried format is shelf-stable, so you don't need to refrigerate it until you add water to it.
- Rehydrated Portions: If your cat doesn't finish the rehydrated food, refrigerate the leftovers and use them within 24 hours.

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.

If a destination, shipping service, or product is not eligible for delivery, checkout will not offer that shipping option.
2. Order Processing Time
Orders are generally processed within 1–5 business days before shipment. Processing time is separate from carrier transit time.
Our order cut-off time is 6:00 PM Pacific Time (PT). Orders placed after the cut-off time, on weekends, or on applicable holidays begin processing on the next business day.
Processing may include order verification and preparation for shipment.
3. U.S. Shipping Methods, Costs, and Transit Times

4. International Shipping
We ship to eligible international destinations. Available international shipping services, shipping charges, and estimated delivery times vary by destination and are displayed at checkout.
For eligible international orders, applicable import duties and taxes are calculated and collected at checkout where required. When these charges apply, the order is shipped on a duties-and-taxes-paid basis so that the same import charges should not be collected again at delivery.
International delivery estimates may be affected by carrier operations, customs processing, local holidays, weather, or other events outside normal transit conditions.
5. Tracking
When tracking is available, you will receive shipment confirmation with tracking information after the order has shipped. Please allow up to 48 hours for tracking information to become active after the carrier receives the shipment.
6. Address Accuracy and Changes
Please review your shipping address carefully before submitting an order. If you notice an address error, contact us as soon as possible. We will try to help before shipment, but an address change cannot be guaranteed once fulfillment or carrier processing has begun.
Additional carrier or re-delivery charges resulting from an incorrect or incomplete address may be the customer's responsibility where permitted by law.
7. Delayed or Lost Shipments
If your shipment has not arrived within the estimated delivery timeframe, please contact us. We will review the tracking information, work with the carrier when necessary, and assist with an appropriate resolution based on the circumstances.
Delivery estimates are not guarantees and may be affected by carrier delays, weather, public holidays, customs processing, or other transportation disruptions.

- Unused, unwashed, and in its original condition.
- Returned with the original packaging, tags, accessories, manuals, and other included components, when applicable.
- Not specifically identified as final sale or non-returnable before purchase.
Products that show use, alteration, avoidable damage, missing components, or other conditions outside the eligibility requirements may be ineligible for a refund.
3. Product-Specific Non-Returnable Items
Some products may be non-returnable for hygiene, safety, customization, final-sale, or other product-specific reasons. Any such restriction will be disclosed on the product page or before purchase when applicable.
4. No Direct Exchanges
We do not provide direct exchange service. If you want a different item, size, color, model, or version, return the eligible original item under this Policy and place a new order separately.

Returns are handled by mail. Before sending an item back, contact our customer support team through the Contact page or the current contact information displayed in the website footer. Please provide:

- The item or items you want to return.
- The reason for the return.

For eligible mail returns, a prepaid return label is included in the package.
For a standard return made for customer-choice reasons, the actual carrier postage charged for use of the prepaid return label will be deducted from the approved refund. We do not charge a separate restocking fee.
If the return is required because the item arrived damaged, defective, or incorrect and the claim is approved, we cover the return-label cost.
If you choose not to use the provided label when an alternative return method is authorized, use a trackable shipping service and keep your shipping receipt until the return is completed.
7. Original Shipping Charges
Original outbound shipping charges are non-refundable for standard customer-choice returns, except where required by law. If the return results from an approved damaged, defective, or incorrect item, applicable shipping charges will be handled as part of the resolution.
8. Refund Review and Processing
After the returned item is received, we inspect it and notify you whether the refund is approved.
If approved, the refund is issued to the original payment method. We generally process an approved refund within 1–3 business days. After the refund is issued, your bank or card provider may require an additional 5–10 business days to post the funds to your account.
