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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
