There's something wrong with the cat food industry
Cat food has not changed since 1950.
More than 30% of cats will develop some form of kidney disease. Over 50% of cats are overweight or obese. And more than 85% of cats will get some form of dental disease in their lifetime - roughly the same percentage who eat dry food.
A leading cat food label:
INGREDIENTS: meat by-products, poultry by-products, chicken, natural flavour, sodium, tripolyphosphate, dried yam, carrageean, minerals & vitamins, colour, xanthan gum, dL-methionine, taurine, sodium nitrite (for colour retention) sufficient water for processing

Five things every cat parent should know
1. The ingredient supply chain is stale.
Instead of heading to a landfill, rendered ingredients go to pet food manufacturers as chicken and beef meal powders, making up 40% to 60% of cat food products. The rest? Grains and fillers, which cause digestive problems for cats.
2. Shelf lives instead of cat lives.
Conventional cooking of wet and dry food uses extreme processing methods and high heat. At temperatures known to produce carcinogens. All this results in significant vitamins and nutrient loss.
3. Fluffed up marketing claims.
Low-quality 'animal derivatives’ are disguised by misleading labels. Hidden ingredients. ‘Vet approved’ is a marketing trick and packaging lies. With burnt brown balls hidden behind photography of fresh meat and panoramic farms.
4. Choice is a fallacy.
Two companies make more than 60% of cat food globally. Together they have more than 50 brands on supermarket shelves. They train our vets, publish the research and treat our cats as the industry underdogs.
5. Inaccurate portioning.
Feeding guidelines by pet food companies are archaic. Conditioning us to over feeding with their one-size-fits all portioning. More than 50% of vets say obesity is the biggest health issue facing our cats.

truth
Will kibble keep your cat’s teeth healthy? Short answer, no. Kibble can’t replace proper dental care.

Knowing the key to cats’ health was putting real food in their bowls, we can’t afford to be patient. We’re constantly reminded by our customers about the benefits of fresh food for their cats, for both their short-term and long-term health.
Most of these cats weren’t visibly ‘sick’ or struggling with specific issues. In some cases though, cats who had been given only weeks or months to live suddenly have a new lease on life.
What is fresh food?
1. Human-quality meats
We use 100% human-quality meats we can eat ourselves. All recipes are created by a Board-Certified Veterinary Nutritionist® to be nutritious, complete and balanced. All ingredients are chosen for their bio availability of amino acids, the building blocks of protein, to be easily absorbed and metabolised by cats.
1. Human-quality meats2. Gently-cooked and frozen fresh
We gently-cook ingredients to perfection to lock in vital nutrients and flavour. And flash freeze these to keep them free from preservatives and high-heat sterilisation. We put nutrition and digestibility over extended shelf life.
2. Gently-cooked and frozen fresh3. No shortcuts
We source from red tractor farms. Cook all of our food onsite in our own UK kitchen. And quality check every batch. All to guarantee the quality of our fresh recipes.

But don’t just take our word for it.
Food allergies
“Her fur grew back to the lovely coat she had before she had allergies, and overall she’s much happier and healthier.” Dexy + Pickle
IBD
Tried drugs from the vet, literally 100s of other cat foods, now his stools are normal, at last!
Diarrhoea
He had explosive diarrhoea several times a day, so I thought I'd try KatKin. The diarrhoea stopped instantly.
Colitis
She had colitis so I looked for a healthy option. This has cleared up and she’s now a happy healthy cat.
Appetite loss
My elderly cat had very little appetite, but on KatKin she’s eating heartily and looking for more.
Sensitive stomach
It's been two weeks now. Her stomach normalised. It gives me such a joy to see our cat transforming.
