Picky cat? Have you tried Nulo?
Cats are charismatic bundles of preferences, and they know what foods make them feel good and which ones do not. Cats are perfectly adapted for a carnivorous diet, and they have some specialized dietary needs. Most cats thrive when fed a diet rich in both high-quality animal protein and access to plenty of moisture. This combination can help prevent common problems such as vomiting food, urinary tract issues resulting from dehydration, excess shedding and hairballs and maintaining the lean muscle mass required for a healthy weight or leaping into the air!
Here are just a few of the ways Nulo’s recipes are specially formulated for the unique needs of cats.
Cats prefer the tiny round shape kibble.
If your cat is prone to regularly vomiting food, it could be the size of their kibble. Cats do not have molars for chewing, so often swallowing their kibble whole. If the kibble is too large, it can get stuck in the throat, and then cats have no choice but to regurgitate the food. Repeated instances of regurgitation or vomiting can unfortunately erode tooth enamel and contribute to gum disease. A good way to prevent vomiting and promote dental health, is to switch to a kibble with an intentionally small kibble design. Nulo recipes for cats and kittens feature a tiny disc-shaped kibble, ideal for cats to swallow and digest.
Cats stay better hydrated better with even a little wet food inclusion each day.
Cats are uniquely adapted to obtain the moisture they need from the food they eat. Proper hydration is essential for cats: more water keeps their urine diluted, which may help support healthy kidney and urinary tract function.
Giving a cat as little as 25% of their food every day from a high-moisture recipe and allowing free access to plenty of fresh, clean water at all times is an easy way to make sure cats are getting enough hydration. Nulo makes a variety of complete and balanced, high meat wet recipes, with sizes, flavors and textures designed to be highly palatable and easily digestible for cats of all ages
As obligate carnivores, cats have a higher requirement for dietary protein than their omnivore counterparts.
Nulo cat kibble recipes contain up to 85% animal-based protein coming from high quality meats or fish ingredients that are naturally richer in taurine, omega fatty acids and other nutrients cats need for muscle maintenance and a lustrous, beautiful coat. Nulo avoids using plant protein concentrates in cat recipes such as pea or potato protein to artificially boost the protein levels on our Guaranteed Analysis. Since plant proteins contain an incomplete profile of amino acids that cats need.
