How to Use
Dosage & Administration Instructions
- Rehydration Method: Mix 2 parts food with 1 part warm water, let sit for 3 minutes, stir, and serve at room temperature for enhanced flavor and digestion.
- Dry Feeding Option: Feed freeze-dried pieces directly without rehydration for convenience; many cats enjoy the crunchy texture.
- Mixer Option: Use as a nutrient-dense mixer (5-10% of daily ration) added to existing cat food for gradual transition or nutritional boost.
- Gradual Transition: Days 1-3: Replace 25% of current food; Days 4-6: Replace 50%; Days 7-9: Replace 75%; Day 10: 100% Nature's Feast.
- Fresh Water Access: Always provide fresh water alongside meals to support digestion and hydration.
- Storage After Opening: Seal bags tightly and store in a cool, dry place; use opened bags within 2 to 3 weeks for optimal freshness.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What makes Dr. Marty Nature's Feast freeze-dried formula ideal for cats?
Ans: Nature's Feast combines 87% premium meat and fish with freeze-drying that preserves nutrients, enzymes, and taurine - an essential amino acid critical for feline heart health and vision. Unlike high-heat-cooked foods, freeze-drying maintains 37% protein and 5% omega-3 without artificial preservatives.
Q2: Is this formula appropriate for all cat ages and health conditions?
Ans: Yes, Nature's Feast is formulated as a complete and balanced diet for cats of all ages and life stages. However, cats with specific health conditions (kidney disease, diabetes, or food allergies) should consult veterinarians before transitioning to this formula.
Q3: How do I prepare freeze-dried Nature's Feast for my cat?
Ans: Rehydrate using a 2:1 food-to-water ratio (1 cup food to 0.5 cup water) with warm water, let sit 3 minutes, mix, and serve at room temperature. Alternatively, serve dry pieces directly or use as a 5-10% nutrient-dense mixer with existing food.
Q4: What portion size should I feed my cat daily?
Ans: Portions vary by weight: 5 lb cats need approximately 0.67 cups daily, 10 lb cats need 1.13 cups, 15 lb cats need 1.5 cups, and 20+ lb cats need 1.75 cups daily. Adjust based on individual metabolism and activity level.
Q5: Can I use Nature's Feast as a mixer or treat instead of a complete replacement?
Ans: Yes, Nature's Feast can be used as a 5-10% nutritious mixer added to existing cat food without a complete dietary transition. This approach works well for picky eaters or cats requiring gradual introduction to new foods.
Q6: What are the benefits of 5% omega-3 fatty acids for cats?
Ans: Omega-3 fatty acids support healthy skin, reduce inflammation, promote lustrous coat quality, and support cognitive function and eye health. The 5% concentration exceeds typical commercial cat food levels.
Q7: How should I transition my cat to Nature's Feast from kibble?
Ans: Gradually transition over 10 to 14 days: Days 1-3 replace 25%, Days 4-6 replace 50%, Days 7-9 replace 75%, Day 10 serve 100%. Extend to 14-21 days for sensitive cats prone to digestive upset.
Q8: Is taurine level (0.2% minimum) sufficient for cats?
Ans: Yes, 0.2% minimum taurine meets and exceeds AAFCO requirements for complete and balanced cat nutrition. Taurine is an essential amino acid critical for feline heart function, vision, and immune health.
Q9: How should I store opened bags of Nature's Feast freeze-dried food?
Ans: Seal opened bags immediately and store in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight and temperature fluctuations. Use opened bags within 2 to 3 weeks for optimal freshness and nutritional quality.
Q10: What should I do if my cat vomits or experiences digestive upset?
Ans: Extend transition period to 14-21 days, start with much smaller portions (pinch mixed with current food), and provide warm water-rehydrated pieces for easier digestion. If vomiting persists beyond 48 hours, consult your veterinarian.
