Cats have survived in the wild for thousands of years following a grain free diet. But what is grain free and why is grain free cat food important for an indoor cat's health and tranquillity? We've put together this list of reasons why grain free products provide a natural, protein rich food.

What is grain free cat food?
Grain free means that the product contains absolutely no grain based ingredients such as wheat, corn, rice or soy. By excluding grains in our cat food, we can include more of the things that cats prefer, like real animal proteins. A high meat diet is similar to what they would have in nature.
Felines are Carnivores
Cats have survived for thousands of years eating a carnivorous diet high in protein and fats. They are true carnivores and instinctually crave meat. Although grains can sometimes be a good source of essential vitamins, minerals and fibre, a cat's digestive system may not efficiently break down and utilise these carbohydrates.
Protein Rich Foods
Cats utilise animal-based protein for energy production and body functions and have done so for thousands of years in the wild. If you're looking to give your cat a diet that is close to what they would find in nature, look for cat food recipes that are grain free and high in animal-based proteins.
