The scientific stuff
On this page you will find details of the recipe and nutrients found in Natures Harvest Chicken Cat Food. The ingredient list is really short, because the food is mostly pure fresh chicken, and that's a good thing, a very good thing indeed. Cats are natural carnivores, and best quality meat gives them most of what they need to live, thrive and survive.... and we've added the bits that Mother N hasn't. Happy and healthy cats - that's the ticket.
All Natures Harvest foods are made from single source proteins. What that means is that - much like the meat you get from the butcher - we know where the chicken comes from, and how it was reared. This in turn means that we can be sure there are no "nasties" getting into your cat's food. Good fresh chicken meat is mixed wth the other ingredients and then gently steam cooked in a sealed tray to retain all that's good and natural.
We're very proud of this great product, and happy to tell you as much as we can about what goes into it so that you can make an informed choice about your cat's nutrition. There's no artificial anything - no preservatives, artificial colourings or flavourings or anything else you wouldn't expect to see, just pure goodness, which is a great start. We hope we have included everything you might need in this info, but if there's something missing, please just ask. You can use the customer enquiry form on the website, or call us during regular office hours on 01953 714648. We may not be able to answer your question immediately, but will always come back to you, and do so as quickly as we can.
Whilst we know lots about cat food, we're not vets, so if your cat is unwell or has recurring dietary problems you should seek professional advice. If you're not sure where your nearest small animal practice is to be found, there's a list here. If you are concerned about the cost of visiting the vet, The Blue Cross offers subsidised services in many areas of Great Britain, to find out more, just click this link, or you could try the PDSA here.
Natures Harvest Chicken Cat Food is made in Great Britain from home-grown ingredients. We take great care to ensure that we make and sell consistently good product, but if there is anything that gives you cause for concern please ask, and we will do everything we can to sort out the problem.
