Why Choose Our Gently Cooked Cat Food - Chicken Recipe?

1. High-Quality, Lean Protein Source

Chicken is one of the best sources of lean protein, providing essential amino acids that help maintain strong muscles, support immune function, and promote healthy weight management. The recipe's high protein content ensures that your cat receives the energy they need for play, exploration, and overall vitality.

2. Slow-Cooked for Maximum Nutrition

Our cooking process is designed to gently simmer ingredients, locking in both flavor and nutrients. Unlike raw or highly processed cat food, this method retains the natural taste of chicken while ensuring it’s safe and easy to digest, making it ideal for cats with sensitive stomachs.

3. Grain-Free, All-Natural Ingredients

We understand that cats thrive on a diet close to what they’d find in nature. That’s why our chicken recipe is free from grains, fillers, artificial preservatives, and by-products. Every ingredient is selected with your cat’s health in mind, creating a meal that is as close to natural as possible.

4. Supports Healthy Skin and Coat

This recipe is enriched with Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids sourced from fish oil and sunflower oil. These healthy fats not only promote a soft, shiny coat but also support healthy skin, reducing the risk of allergies and irritation.

5. Packed with Nutrients from Whole Vegetables

We’ve added a mix of pureed vegetables to provide a well-rounded, complete meal. Ingredients like sweet potatoes, carrots, offer natural fiber, vitamins, and minerals that aid in digestion, enhance immunity, and support overall health. All vegetables are pureed for better absorption.

Ingredients

We are committed to using only whole food ingredients that provide genuine nutritional benefits. Every ingredient in your dog's food is carefully selected for its purpose and value. You’ll find only whole foods on our list—never questionable vitamin or mineral powders—ensuring that your dog receives all the wholesome goodness and vitality that Mother Nature intended.

List of Ingredients:

Our recipe features chicken breast meat, chicken hearts, and chicken liver for quality protein and essential nutrients, along with ground chicken bones for a natural source of calcium. Sweet potatoes and carrots add fiber and vitamins to support digestion and overall health. Sunflower oil provides omega-6 fatty acids for a healthy coat, while fish oil is rich in omega-3 fatty acids to support skin and joint health.

Chicken Breast and Liver – Nutrient-Rich and Balanced for Your Pet

In integrative veterinary medicine, chicken breast and liver are valued for their warming properties, making them excellent for creating balance in your pet’s diet. As a lean protein source, chicken provides essential amino acids that promote muscle development and support bone health. It also contains tryptophan, a key amino acid that increases serotonin levels, the 'feel-good' hormone. Both chicken breast and liver are packed with vital nutrients such as choline, selenium, phosphorus, zinc, iron, copper, and vitamins B3, B6, B12, A, and E. We select only lean, boneless, skinless chicken breast and liver, slow-cooking them at low temperatures to eliminate harmful bacteria while preserving their nutritional integrity. Our chicken is ethically sourced from trusted farms in India, ensuring top quality and freshness.

Oysters – Nutrient-Packed and Fresh from Goa's Shores

Oysters are a powerhouse of essential trace minerals, providing one of the richest sources of zinc and copper, which are crucial for overall health and balanced nutrition. As mollusks, not shellfish, oysters are among the purest seafoods with minimal mercury content. Our oysters are sourced fresh from the local shores of Goa and are hand-shucked to ensure quality and freshness in every serving.

Mussels: A Nutrient Powerhouse

Mussels are a nutrient-rich superfood that can provide valuable health benefits to cats. Carefully steamed to retain their delicate nutrients, mussels are rich in essential proteins, Omega-3 fatty acids, and key minerals such as zinc, manganese, and iron. These nutrients support joint health, immune function, and skin and coat vitality, making them an ideal addition to a balanced feline diet.

Our preparation process ensures that mussels maintain their natural benefits without losing essential nutrients. By gently cooking them, we protect these nutrients and make mussels more easily digestible and safe for your cat’s enjoyment. These ocean delights are a delicious, wholesome way to add variety and nutrition to your cat's meal, helping them thrive naturally.

Eggs – Nature’s Perfect Protein

Eggs are packed with protein power, offering the highest biological value for protein and setting the gold standard: 7 grams of high-quality protein in just 75 calories, along with all essential amino acids. But the benefits don’t stop there. Eggs are also rich in choline, a crucial nutrient for brain health, liver function, and metabolism, as well as powerful carotenoids like lutein and zeaxanthin, which support eye health.

Choline plays a key role in liver health, muscle movement, metabolism, and cognitive function. It supports the integrity of every cell in the body, aids in cell signaling, and is essential for DNA synthesis and the production of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter responsible for both voluntary and involuntary muscle movement. It also assists in removing cholesterol from the liver, making eggs beneficial for maintaining healthy cholesterol levels.

In addition to choline, eggs provide all the B vitamins, abundant selenium, Vitamin D, and many other essential nutrients. Our eggs come from our own free-range farms, ensuring quality and care from farm to table.

Root Vegetables

Carrots – A Treasure Trove of Phytonutrients – These nutrient-dense root vegetables are packed with phytonutrients. Carrots are rich in beta-carotene, which converts to vitamin A, and lutein, both essential for eye health, helping protect against sun damage, cataracts, and macular degeneration. Carrots also contain antioxidants like carotenoids and anthocyanins, which support cardiovascular health and may reduce cancer risks. Their fiber aids in gastrointestinal health and helps regulate blood sugar, making carrots beneficial for diabetes management. Additionally, vitamin C in carrots supports immune health and aids iron absorption, while vitamins A, K, and potassium make them a valuable addition to a balanced diet. Our non-GMO carrots are sourced from trusted farms in India.

Sweet Potatoes – Known for their anti-inflammatory and anticancer benefits, sweet potatoes bring more than just vitamins and minerals to the table. They are rich in polyphenols and carotenoids, such as beta-carotene, which have been linked to reduced cancer risks. Studies also indicate that sweet potato extracts act as powerful antioxidants, helping to heal internal wounds and protect against ulcers. The fiber content in sweet potatoes supports digestion and weight management, while their vitamins C, E, A, B6, along with magnesium and potassium, contribute to healthy eyes, heart, joints, skin, and coat. Among the vegetables in our recipes, sweet potatoes have the highest starch content (approximately 10 g of starch per 100 g), so we use them in moderation.

Dark Green Vegetables:

Broccoli – A Nutrient-Rich Cruciferous Powerhouse

Broccoli, a member of the cruciferous vegetable family, is packed with fiber, essential vitamins, minerals, and powerful phytonutrients. Rich in vitamins K1, B9, potassium, and the powerhouse nutrient vitamin C, broccoli is a key player in a balanced diet. Its anti-cancer benefits are largely attributed to plant compounds like sulforaphane, indole-3-carbinol, and kaempferol. These, along with carotenoids and quercetin, support cardiovascular health, eye health, and may even help alleviate allergies. Our non-GMO broccoli is sourced from Indian farmers, ensuring the finest quality and nutritional integrity in every bite.

Kale – The Nutritional Powerhouse

Kale is a true nutritional powerhouse, belonging to the same dark green vegetable family as broccoli, making it a strong ally in the fight against cancer. Rich in vitamins A, K, B6, and C, and essential minerals like calcium, potassium, copper, and manganese, kale is a foundational element for a balanced diet. It’s also packed with the flavonoids quercetin and kaempferol, which provide powerful heart-protective, anti-cancer, anti-viral, and anti-inflammatory benefits. Kale’s antioxidant properties help counteract oxidative stress by neutralizing free radicals, supporting overall health. Our non-GMO kale is sourced directly from Indian farmers, ensuring freshness and quality in every leaf.

Spinach – A Nutrient Powerhouse in Every Leaf

Spinach is packed with nutrients in a low-calorie, high-fiber form. As a member of the beet family, it provides a rich supply of vitamins A, C, K1, E, and folate (B9), along with essential minerals like iron, calcium, potassium, and magnesium. However, spinach’s true superpower lies in its unique plant compounds, including carotenoids and polyphenols. Spinach is one of the top sources of quercetin, a powerful antioxidant known for its infection- and inflammation-fighting properties. High in lutein and zeaxanthin, spinach supports eye health, while kaempferol, another antioxidant, is associated with lower risks of cancer and chronic disease.

Additionally, spinach contains alpha-lipoic acid, an antioxidant essential for the production of glutathione—the “master antioxidant”—which supports neuromuscular health and diabetes management. Spinach also boasts SQDG and MGDG, natural compounds shown in studies to suppress cancer cell growth. Our non-GMO spinach is sourced directly from Indian farmers, ensuring the finest quality and nutrient-richness in every bite.

Fruits and Seeds:

Blueberries – Bursting with Health-Boosting Bioactive Compounds

Blueberries are packed with an impressive array of bioactive compounds that powerfully support health. Among them, anthocyanin—a potent anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory flavonoid—stands out. Other phenolic compounds, such as quercetin, kaempferol, myricetin, and chlorogenic acid, provide an antioxidant capacity that no multivitamin can match. Thanks to these nutrients, blueberries rank among the highest for nutrient density on the Aggregate Nutrient Density Index (ANDI).

Rich in vitamin C, blueberries also offer essential vitamins and minerals for a complete and balanced canine diet, including vitamins K, B6, B9, choline, A, and E, as well as potassium, magnesium, copper, phosphorus, zinc, and manganese. Together, these compounds support healthy bones, skin, heart, brain, and digestion, while also playing a role in the fight against cancer and diabetes.

Strawberries – Nature’s Flavorful Nutrient Powerhouses

Strawberries are not only delicious but are also packed with unique, naturally occurring nutrients. Rich in flavonoids—a class of phytonutrients that contribute to the vibrant colors of fruits and vegetables—strawberries boast powerful health benefits. These flavonoids, including anthocyanin, procyanidin, and quercetin, along with ellagic acid (another potent polyphenol), provide anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antimutagenic, and anticancer properties. In addition to these protective compounds, strawberries are an excellent source of vitamin C and essential nutrients like potassium, magnesium, and folate, making them a tasty, wholesome choice for health.

Apples – Nature's Nutritional Powerhouse

Apples are packed with benefits for overall health, particularly gut health. Hippocrates once said, “all disease begins in the gut,” and apples support this vital “virtual organ” with their insoluble fiber, which helps maintain gut health and regular movement. Apples also contain pectin, a prebiotic that feeds beneficial gut bacteria, boosts immune function, supports hormone production, and aids in mineral absorption, including calcium and phosphorus.

The soluble fiber in apples slows down digestion, helping control blood sugar and providing a feeling of fullness, making them a valuable addition for blood sugar management. Additionally, this fiber helps prevent cholesterol buildup in blood vessel linings, reducing the risk of atherosclerosis and promoting heart health.

Sunflower Seeds – Nutrient-Packed Powerhouses

Sunflower seeds, the fruit of the sunflower, offer a wealth of nutrients in each tiny seed. They are an excellent source of manganese, supporting joint health, as well as vitamin E and selenium, both of which help protect cells from free-radical damage. Rich in beneficial plant compounds like phenolic acids and flavonoids, these seeds provide antioxidant benefits, while their linoleic acid supports heart health. Studies show that these nutrients may help reduce chronic inflammation, improve circulation, and lower “bad” LDL cholesterol and triglycerides. We use sprouted, non-GMO sunflower seeds sourced from Indian farmers, that are carefully dried to enhance their beneficial plant compounds.

Healthy Fats

Omega-3 Fish Oil – Pure and Potent Nutrition

Our Omega-3 fish oil is a premium blend of Icelandic sardine, herring, anchovy, and mackerel—fish. This oil is rich in essential fatty acids, EPA and DHA, known for their anti-inflammatory properties and benefits for skin and coat health, cardiovascular and neuromuscular systems, joint support, and cognitive function. High-quality pet foods aim for an Omega-6 to Omega-3 ratio below 10:1, and our Icelandic-sourced fish oil is carefully tested for purity to ensure the ideal balance. To retain full potency, we add the oil to our recipes after cooking, preserving its natural, non-GMO benefits.

Ocean-Powered Boosters

Organic Kelp – A Nutrient-Rich Sea Vegetable for Health and Vitality

Organic kelp is a powerhouse sea vegetable, abundant in iodine, an essential mineral necessary for healthy thyroid function in both canines and humans. We use organic, non-GMO kelp from Canada, rigorously tested to ensure purity. Alongside iodine, kelp provides vitamins K, A, and folate, as well as key minerals like magnesium, iron, and calcium, all vital for bone strength and cellular health. Rich in fucoidan (a beneficial polysaccharide) and fucoxanthin (a red-orange carotenoid), kelp is recognized as one of the most potent cancer-fighting foods available.
