It is well-known that organic cat food holds many benefits for cat health and quality of life. If you are thinking of putting your cat on an organic diet, you may want to consider one of the following products.
California Natural Dry: California Natural is made by Natura, a company that produces natural and organic pet food. California Natural dry cat foods contain very few ingredients, which makes it a unique product on the market. For instance, the Herring and Sweet Potato dry food contains herring, oatmeal, chicken fat, rosemary extract, sunflower oil, barley, sweet potatoes, herring meal, vitamins, taurine, herring oil, natural flavors, DL-methiomine, and minerals.
According to the website, sweet potato, oatmeal, and barley are all great sources of energy for cats.
California Natural dry cat food is also available in Chicken and Brown Rice.
My cats have eaten both flavors of the organic cat food made in the California Natural line by Natura Pet Food. My cats definitely liked the Herring and Sweet Potato better than the Chicken and Brown Rice formula.
I really liked that while this organic cat food is more expensive than regular cat food, the bags of cat food lasted longer than normal cat food does. My cats seemed to feel more satisfied eating California Natural, which led to them eating less of it than the normal cat food, which made the bag of organic cat food last longer than a bag of regular cat food.
California Natural dry cat food is available through the Natura website in 5 and 16.5 pound bags. To order California Natural through the website, please visit: http://www.naturapet.com/brands/california-natural.asp. California Natural dry cat food costs between $10-20 per bag in stores.
Alternatively, if you'd like to purchase California Natural dry cat food from a store in your area, visit the website listed above and click on the "where to buy" link located below the product you desire to purchase. You will be directed to a page that allows you to enter your zip code, city, state, and country. Your results will show you the stores in your area that sell California Natural.
California Natural Canned: California Natural wet food is also an organic and natural cat food made by Natura. California Natural canned food contains high quality ingredients to help cats maintain health and quality of life. California Natural wet or canned food comes in four different flavors: Deep Water Fish and Brown Rice, Salmon and Sweet Potato, Venison and Brown Rice, and Chicken and Brown Rice.
Each California Natural canned food formula contains nutritious ingredients along with a great taste cats love. For instance, in the Deep Water Fish and Brown Rice formula, California Natural combines salmon broth, egg, carrageenan, L-ascorbyl-2-polyhosphate, herring, salmon, brown rice, mackerel, flaxseed, whitefish, natural flavors, guar gum, potassium chloride, minerals, choline chloride, vitamins, taurine, sodium phosphate, and sunflower oil.
According to the product description, the sunflower oil and flaxseed in this canned food provides cats with omega 6 and omega 3 fatty acids, which boosts their immune systems and helps maintain healthy skin and coat.
My cats really loved the Salmon and Sweet Potato and the Deep Water Fish and Brown Rice canned foods. I really liked that one 3-ounce can of California Natural lasted both my cats for two or three meals.
It is easy to find out where to purchase California Natural wet or canned food in your area. Visit their website at: www.naturapet.com/brands/california-natural.asp and click on the "where to buy" link located directly under the canned food you wish to purchase for your cat. You will be taken to a form to fill out with your zip code, city, state, and country. The results of your search will show you where you can buy organic cat food made by California Natural in your city. Most retailers who sell natural and organic pet food will have a selection of California Natural products.
California Natural canned cat food comes in 3, 5.5, and 13.2 ounce cans and costs between $1-5+, depending on the retailer you choose to purchase from.
California Natural is only one of the many organic cat food product lines available on the market today. If you are considering putting your kitty on an organic diet, you may want to try these products. I found my cats really love the food California Natural makes.

Because manufacturers need to ensure that dry foods have a long shelf life
(typically 12 months) to remain edible through shipping and storage, fats used in pet foods are preserved with either synthetic or "natural" preservatives. Synthetic preservatives include butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), propyl gallate, propylene glycol (also used as a less-toxic version of automotive antifreeze), and ethoxyquin.
Use of by-products. By-products are ingredients used which are not fit for human consumption. By-products are often floor sweepings from a rendering plant. "Animal by-product" is rendered product from animal tissues, exclusive of any added blood, hair, hoof, horn, hide trimmings, manure, stomach and rumen contents except in such amounts as may occur unavoidably in good processing practices." Pet food labels contain the words "meal" or "byproduct"
on the ingredient label. Inedible byproducts such as bone, fat, heads, hair, feet and condemned offal are used in commercial pet food. These materials are sent to a rendering plant for processing into pet food products.
"Meat" is often rendered dogs and cats as well as other animals such as road-kill. When the source of the meat is known it will be listed as beef, poultry, chicken, turkey, etc. If the source of the meat is not known it is simply called "meat.
Rather than the wholesome pictures shown on the pet food packaging, rendering companies dispose of millions pounds of inedible waste each day including, heads, feet,stomachs, intestines, spinal cords, tails, restaurant grease, feathers, bones and dead or diseased animals rejected from slaughterhouses for use in manufacturing pet food. Amazingly, animals from research laboratories may be rendered into pet food as well.

Because manufacturers need to ensure that dry foods have a long shelf life (typically 12 months) to remain edible through shipping and storage, fats used in pet foods are preserved with either synthetic or "natural" preservatives. Synthetic preservatives include butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), propyl gallate, propylene glycol (also used as a less-toxic version of automotive antifreeze), and ethoxyquin.
Use of by-products. By-products are ingredients used which are not fit for human consumption. By-products are often floor sweepings from a rendering plant. "Animal by-product" is rendered product from animal tissues, exclusive of any added blood, hair, hoof, horn, hide trimmings, manure, stomach and rumen contents except in such amounts as may occur unavoidably in good processing practices." Pet food labels contain the words "meal" or "byproduct" on the ingredient label. Inedible byproducts such as bone, fat, heads, hair, feet and condemned offal are used in commercial pet food. These materials are sent to a rendering plant for processing into pet food products.
"Meat" is often rendered dogs and cats as well as other animals such as road-kill. When the source of the meat is known it will be listed as beef, poultry, chicken, turkey, etc. If the source of the meat is not known it is simply called "meat.
Rather than the wholesome pictures shown on the pet food packaging, rendering companies dispose of millions pounds of inedible waste each day including, heads, feet,stomachs, intestines, spinal cords, tails, restaurant grease, feathers, bones and dead or diseased animals rejected from slaughterhouses for use in manufacturing pet food. Amazingly, animals from research laboratories may be rendered into pet food as well.

Nature's Variety Prairie Brand Chicken Meal & Brown Rice Cat Food Review
Fresh meat is the first ingredient in each formula. Meat and organs make up nearly 40% of the ingredients in each production batch of Nature's Variety. Most dry, kibble diets are 25% to 30% meat or meat and bone products with some formulations even containing less than 10% or even no meat products. Formulated to meet the needs of all life stages. Our kibble provides an organic source of over 50 trace minerals. A colloidal silicate called montmorillonite supplies important trace minerals. Many pet owners insist that the supplementation of these colloidal silicate minerals have helped produce better coats, weight gain, increase in milk production, better conception, and overall better health.
Important Information
Nature's Variety Prairie Brand Dry Kibble Diets are designed to be rotated freely for variety and optimal nutrition. Emphasis is put on fresh meat as the first and prominent ingredient of each diet. The grains present in these diets are only whole grains; never inferior grain fractions. All Nature's Variety products are naturally preserved with vitamins and herbal extracts, and sealed in oxygen limiting packaging.

Because manufacturers need to ensure that dry foods have a long shelf life (typically 12 months) to remain edible through shipping and storage, fats used in pet foods are preserved with either synthetic or "natural" preservatives. Synthetic preservatives include butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), propyl gallate, propylene glycol (also used as a less-toxic version of automotive antifreeze), and ethoxyquin.
Use of by-products. By-products are ingredients used which are not fit for human consumption. By-products are often floor sweepings from a rendering plant. "Animal by-product" is rendered product from animal tissues, exclusive of any added blood, hair, hoof, horn, hide trimmings, manure, stomach and rumen contents except in such amounts as may occur unavoidably in good processing practices." Pet food labels contain the words "meal" or "byproduct" on the ingredient label. Inedible byproducts such as bone, fat, heads, hair, feet and condemned offal are used in commercial pet food. These materials are sent to a rendering plant for processing into pet food products.
"Meat" is often rendered dogs and cats as well as other animals such as road-kill. When the source of the meat is known it will be listed as beef, poultry, chicken, turkey, etc. If the source of the meat is not known it is simply called "meat.
Rather than the wholesome pictures shown on the pet food packaging, rendering companies dispose of millions pounds of inedible waste each day including, heads, feet,stomachs, intestines, spinal cords, tails, restaurant grease, feathers, bones and dead or diseased animals rejected from slaughterhouses for use in manufacturing pet food. Amazingly, animals from research laboratories may be rendered into pet food as well.
Total Score = Ol' Roy dog food, which is considered one of the poorest quality dog foods on the market, scored 5 out of 10. Nature's Variety Prairie Beef With Barley Canned Cat Food scored 9 out of 10.
The life span of your pet should be at least 20 years. Your pet's diet strongly influences your pet's life expectancy. Always look for a quality pet food which scores 10 out of 10.
