A low-calorie, fiber powerhouse, promoting digestive health and preventing hairballs. Packed with moisture, it's also a great source of vitamins A, C, and K.
Essential for skin, coat, and nervous system health, Biotin contributes to overall cellular well-being and proper function of the nervous system in cats. Deficiency signs include dermatitis and coat issues.
Not a true vitamin but essential, choline supports cell membrane synthesis, lipid metabolism, and neurotransmission. Crucial for liver function, growth, and fetal development in cats.
Uniquely the only vitamin also paired with a mineral, B12 is vital for DNA production, red blood cells, and nerve health. It's also necessary to convert fats, proteins and carbohydrates into usable energy. Deficiency leads to anemia and neurological issues in cats.
Vital for DNA synthesis, blood cell production, and immune support, Folate plays a key role in growth and development. Bacteria in the small intestine can contribute to folate production.
Contributing to energy metabolism and cell function, Niacin helps to maintain a healthy skin, coat, and nervous system. Cats lack the ability to convert tryptophan into Niacin, necessitating dietary intake.
Essential for energy production and tissue synthesis, B5 supports skin, coat, and central nervous system function. A deficiency may result in weight loss due to energy metabolism impairment.
Key in amino acid metabolism, protein synthesis, and neurotransmitter function. B6 supports the immune system, red blood cells, and energy production. Deficiency is rare but could lead to anemia in cats.
Vital for energy production and skin health, Riboflavin collaborates with other B vitamins, to ensure their proper function. Deficiency manifests in nervous system dysfunction and dermatitis in cats.
Crucial for carbohydrate metabolism, Thiamin powers energy-hungry organs. Deficiency is rare but affects neurological health, causing neuromuscular weakness and vision problems. Diets heavy in raw fish pose a risk due to Thiamin destruction.
Supports vision, bone growth, and immune function. Unlike humans, cats can't convert beta-carotene to Vitamin A, so we provide the essential preformed version. A deficiency, though rare, can lead to night blindness, impaired growth, and skin issues.
Essential for bone health, Vitamin D3 aids in calcium and phosphorus metabolism. Cats, unlike some animals, rely on dietary sources due to their limited abilities for UV conversion. Deficiency can lead to bone issues, emphasizing the need for precise levels depending on diet composition and age.
Acts as a vital antioxidant. It shields cells by preventing oxidative damage to polyunsaturated fatty acids. This defense ensures cell membrane integrity, helping to maintain normal cell function. Vitamin E can help to prevent issues like "yellow fat disease."
Supporting iron absorption, copper is vital for hemoglobin production. It plays a role in coat coloration, and connective tissue synthesis, while also acting as an antioxidant and supporting skeletal development in cats.
Essential for oxygen transport and energy production, iron is a cat's ally. It helps prevents anemia, ensuring cats stay energized.
Magnesium supports bone, nerve, and muscle function, aiding carbohydrate and protein metabolism. While deficiency is rare, it's crucial for preventing soft tissue issues and maintaining overall feline health.
A bioavailable manganese source, crucial for metabolic reactions, bone development, and reproduction in cats. Although uncommon, deficiency is linked to reproductive failure and impaired skeletal growth.
Fueling thyroid hormones, iodine regulates metabolism, growth, and reproduction in cats. Deficiency leads to goiter, stunted growth, and reproductive issues—ensuring iodine keeps cats thriving.
Essential for antioxidants and thyroid hormone production. Selenium collaborates with Vitamin E, protecting cells from damage. It supports immune function, shielding cats from infections. Deficiency, though rare, can impact skeletal and cardiac health.
Aiding immune function, wound healing, and reproductive health, zinc is a multitasker. It maintains skin, fur, and coat health, ensuring cats stay shining. Deficiency results in stunted growth and reproductive issues.
A fiber-rich, low-calorie binder providing texture without affecting taste. Perfect for picky eaters, it enhances mouthfeel effectively at lower inclusion rates.
Moisture-packed and nutrient-rich, chicken broth benefits cats with collagen for joint health, bone strength, improved digestion, and enhanced immune function.
For finicky felines, a plant + yeast-based palatant boosts palatability without compromising quality, ensuring cats relish every bite.
Elevating flavor and acting as a natural preservative, sea salt enhances our wet food while safeguarding against bacteria and mold. A tasteful and practical addition for your cat's well-being.
A uniquely essential amino acid for cats, supplemented to ensure optimal feline nutrition and overall health.

They may have found their way into our homes and our hearts, but deep down, cats are still wild at heart. They're obligate carnivores, which is a fancy way to say "they need meat."

Our quality control goes the extra mile, then circles back for a victory lap.
We inspect ingredients upon delivery, continuously monitor our production facility, and submit samples from every batch for third-party verification on safety and nutritional quality. Your cat's food only ships after passing every test with flying colors.
Because when you're as obsessed with cat health as we are, anything less would feel wrong.

Great question! While cats are true carnivores, they still need fiber for a healthy digestive system.
In the wild, they'd get it from prey's bones and fur. To mimic this, we use plant sources like pumpkin and dandelion greens. It not only keeps things moving but also packs in vital vitamins and minerals for your wild-at-heart feline.
Our Canadian roots run deep, with headquarters in Vancouver, British Columbia. However, Really Great Cat Food's magic happens in Wisconsin, USA, at our manufacturing facility. We blend local and imported ingredients, ensuring a premium recipe for your cat.
We follow strict quality control practices right from sourcing the ingredients to the final production.
All the ingredients we use meet human-grade standards, and we inspect them thoroughly upon arrival at our facilities.
Our manufacturing unit undergoes regular inspections by food safety and human-grade organizations.
During the production process, we carry out both visual and mechanical checks to ensure quality.
Our finished product is routinely sent to a third-party lab for independent testing of nutritional guarantees, harmful bacteria, mycotoxins, and heavy metals.
Every cat is unique, so each one will have different calorie requirements depending on their age and lifestyle.
For adult cats, we recommend 1 carton for every 5-8 pounds, but it's crucial to play diet detective.
Monitor your cat's weight, adjusting if they're gaining or losing. If dry food or treats are in the mix, tweak portions accordingly. Remember, treats should be under 10% of their daily calorie intake. It's a bit like customizing a meal plan for your cat's lifestyle—watch, adjust, and enjoy their happy, healthy journey.
A slow and steady transition is key for picky kitties and avoiding an upset tummy. Please refer to our easy-to-follow guide here and don't hesitate to email us at purr@tuftandpaw.com if you have any questions or concerns.
Keep unused portions refrigerated, using them within 5 days of opening. Store unopened cartons in a cool, dry place.
We choose locally sourced ingredients from within the US when possible, however some ingredients have been imported from around the globe to ensure that despite seasonal variation within North America, we are still able to use some of the best quality ingredients.
Absolutely! We go all out on quality. Our recipe features human-grade ingredients, held to the same standards as food fit for you and me. Additionally, the food is prepared in a human-grade facility, ensuring top-notch quality.
Heads up, though - it's crafted for your cat's consumption, not yours. We kindly request that you leave the dining to your kitty.
Select ingredients in our recipe, such as pumpkin and carrot, are certified organic. When crafting this formula, we chose to prioritize human-grade quality over organic certification to uphold the highest standards of safety and quality.
Sure does. Taurine is a must-have for cats, and while it naturally occurs in our protein-packed ingredients like chicken and rabbit, we also use an additional supplement to ensure they get optimal amounts for a healthy, long life.

Molly stopped eating. Couldn’t find anything she liked. Found you and your new food on line and ordered. She loves it and is getting healthier everyday. Thank you 🌻🌻🌻
I love this product and better yet all three of my cats do too. I have they recommended. Good quality food for the price.
Ok…I am excited about this food for the sole reason that it’s the first time in 3 years my cat has not had any sores on his neck and chin. For whatever reason, the food seems to agree with my cat…easily digestible, he eats it all and seems to enjoy it. Happy to finally have found something that’s healthy and my cat thrives on!
That's what Dobby and Patch told me to write :)
One of the few things, my very picky cat will eat, he runs when he sees me opening the cupboard now. He even tries to break into the cupboard if he thinks his past his meal time, love the packaging, love everything about this product. Very highly recommended.
