Felidae All Natural Cat Food: Product Review

My three felines have been eating Felidae natural cat food for many years. Although I don't believe in touting one brand as the "best" cat food, I do feel confident enough in Felidae to recommend it. If you have cats or kittens, and want to feed them a high quality, natural cat food, Felidae is a great choice.

Felidae cat food is made by the Canidae Food Corporation headquartered in San Luis Obispo, California. They are a well-known company whose dog food is quite popular. All Canidae food is made from high-quality human grade meat and all natural ingredients, and contains no corn, wheat, soy, fillers, by-products or chemical preservatives. In addition, the natural ingredients used in Canidae food are grown and raised in the United States, and manufactured with strict testing and quality control procedures.

Besides human-grade meat, Felidae natural cat food includes wholesome brown rice, essential vitamins and minerals, skin and coat conditioners, and taurine (a must for feline good health). Felidae is also formulated with balanced omega 6 and omega 3 fatty acids: flax seed oil provides omega 3 while sunflower oil provides omega 6.

If you have male cats prone to urinary tract infections, Felidae natural cat food is a great choice. Felidae has cranberries for urinary tract health, and the ph balanced formulas were designed to help prevent both urinary crystals and calcium oxylate stones.

Felidae cat food is highly palatable to even the most finicky felines (I know, because I have one). My cats are all healthy, they have nice, shiny coats, lots of energy and no digestion issues, which I attribute to the high quality of this natural cat food.

Felidae natural cat food comes in three formulations. I primarily feed my cats the Chicken and Rice because I prefer a cat food with a single source of meat. The Felidae Cat & Kitten food and the Felidae Platinum food for senior and overweight cats are made from four different meats (chicken, turkey, herring and lamb).

The Felidae Platinum formula is lower in protein, fat and calories, which makes it a good choice for older cats or inactive cats who are battling the feline bulge. All three formulas are available in small cans (5.5 oz.), large cans (13 oz.) and 4 lb., 8 lb. and 15 lb. bags of dry kibble.

Here are the Felidae Chicken & Rice canned food ingredients: Chicken, Chicken Broth, Chicken Liver, Brown Rice, Eggs, Sunflower Oil, Dicalcium Sulfate, Potassium Chloride, Guar Gum, Flax Seed Oil (Source of Omega 3) Choline Chloride, Salt, Kelp, Cranberries, Rosemary Extract, Carrageenan, Yucca Schidigera Extract, Taurine, Vitamin E Supplement, Zinc Amino Acid Chelate, Iron Amino Acid Chelate, Manganese Amino Acid Chelate, Vitamin B12 Supplement, Vitamin A Supplement, Copper Amino Acid Chelate, D-Calcium Pantothenate, Niacin, Lecithin, Vitamin D3 Supplement, Riboflavin Supplement, Folic Acid, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, Selenite.

Felidae natural cat food is not sold in grocery stores or large chains, but can be found in feed stores, independent pet food stores, and online, primarily at sites that carry natural cat food. At my feed store, I pay $34.95 for a case of 24 large cans, which equals about $1.46 per can. However, Felidae participates in a frequent buyer program, so every 13th case I buy is free. This brings the price down, and gives me a lift every time I get to bring home my free case of cat food!
