M<\/span>ost cats aren’t big fans of water. \u00a0Those of us who have tried to give their cats a bath may have ended up needing to wear long sleeve shirts while the wounds healed up. \u00a0There are always exceptions to the rule. \u00a0I know of a few cats who love to sit on the edge of the bathtub while their human takes a shower. \u00a0Despite cats natural aversion to water, water is one of the most critical components of their diet and the thing often most overlooked for house cats. \u00a0Did you know that cats need water through food?<\/p>\n

There are cat water fountains, attachments that you stick on to your bathroom faucet for cats to drink out of, cat water bowls and various other devices manufactured to try and convince your cat to drink more water. \u00a0Water is important to cats and is the single most important factor in reducing urinary tract diseases in cats. \u00a0But here’s the thing, drinking water from the bowl or from your sink is not enough to do the trick. \u00a0Cats need to derive water from their food source. \u00a0In the wild, this happens naturally. \u00a0Cats are either birders or mousers and both of these prey contain about 80% water. \u00a0Indoor cats that are fed a dry food diet do not receive enough water through their diet.<\/p>\n

The best thing you can do for your cat’s health is to add in a diet with moisture built in. \u00a0You don’t have to bring your cat fresh mice or birds, but feeding canned food or dehydrated food can put some much needed moisture back in to your cat’s diet. \u00a0Feeding a diet fully comprised of canned or dehydrated food is best, but supplementing your cat’s kibble will go a long way to improving your cat’s health.<\/p>\n

Our Wild Brushtail and Berries<\/span> uses New Zealand Brushtail, high in Omega 3 fatty acids and extremely palatable. \u00a0We gently dry the food for a long period at a low temperature, allowing our food to retain most of it’s beneficial enzymes. \u00a0To feed to your cat, simply add water and stir. \u00a0Let the formula sit for a few minutes to soak in and then feed! \u00a0Your cat will enjoy the taste of over 45% Brushtail meat and derive the natural benefits of a diet high in moisture.<\/p>\n
