Cats are carnivores & their metabolism & digestive system is still very similar to that of their ancestors. In order to fulfil the nutritional requirements for a healthy cat your pet needs food based on what it would instinctively eat in the wild. At the same time your cat´s diet should also take its current lifestyle into account (regular meals less physical activity). The INSTINCT concept is simple. All recipes contain a high proportion of fresh meat which is also the main source of protein. Nutrivet INSTINCT is low in carbohydrates such as grain which does not form part of a cat´s natural diet INSTINCT foods have been developed with this in mind & the proportions have been fine-tuned to meet your pet´s nutritional requirements. They include ingredients such as chicken turkey wild boar sheep & lamb salmon eggs fruits vegetables & a balanced amount of animal fat. Nutrivet INSTINCT Cat Food at a glance 80% meat 20% fruit & vegetables 0% grain Unlike traditional pet foods ´INSTINCT´ is made with a variety of meat & fish to reflect a cat´s natural eating habits in the wild which would be dependent on each day´s prey. The unique recipes contain the best of nature & provide your cat with an appropriate diet rich in meat & low in carbohydrates & with all the nutrients it needs for a long & healthy life. RICH IN MEAT Cats are carnivores by nature & instinctively prefer a meat-based diet. Their physiology is genetically programmed to metabolise mainly meat-based ingredients rather than foods rich in carbohydrates such as the grains contained in traditional pet food. LOW IN CARBOHYDRATES Cats only have a very limited nutritional use for carbohydrates since their metabolism has evolved to suit a natural diet which consists almost exclusively of meat. NO GRAIN Cats do not find it easy to digest large amounts of grain. Unlike many other cat foods ´INSTINCT´ is grain-free & contains mails fresh meat-based ingredients. The high carbohydrate content in grain can cause serious health issues for your pet. It is at the root of many healthy problems such as obesity & diabetes which today´s cat suffers from. NO VEGETABLE OILS Animal fats are an important element of a meat-based diet & your cat needs these fats for energy. They are able to metabolise animal fats more easily & efficiently than vegetable derived fats. Nutrivet INSTINCT is rich in meat which contains animal-based omega-3 fats. These essential fats help your pet to stay healthy & in top physical condition. VARIETY OF VEGETABLES Vegetables provide vitamins minerals & fibres which are essential to your cat´s health. They are also much lower in carbohydrates than grain.
