After nearly two decades of offering just one cat formula, Dr. Garys are now excited to introduce our second formula: the Grain Free Cat Diet! Like all of Best Breed's grain free formulas, this diet is developed without potatoes and instead uses healthful grain alternatives such as peas, lentils and chickpeas. This diet starts the formula off with lots of meat from high protein, low-ash chicken and whitefish, followed by blueberries and cranberries, which are high in antioxidants
Key Features:
-
Premium sources of protein from chicken, whitefish and eggs help build and maintain lean muscle mass while providing the essential nutrients needed for strong bones and teeth
- Made with fruits and vegetables, including nutrient-rich green peas, red lentils and chickpeas, as grain alternative ingredients.
- Made without potatoes
- Gluten Free
-
Cranberries and optimum mineral levels synergistically help promote holistic health.
-
Enriched with taurine to promote good vision, heart and reproductive health.
- The combination of highly-digestible proteins and a premium source of fiber from beet pulp, support gastrointestinal health and help contribute to smaller, firmer stools.
- The synergistic combination of omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids, amino acids, and chelated minerals assists in maintaining healthy skin and promoting a vibrant coat. (Omega 6:3 are balanced for optimum performance.)
- To help ensure your cat’s nutritional safety, Best Breed pays a premium for EU-approved and U.S.-raised natural ingredients. Further, Best Breed only uses ethoxyquin-free sources of fish and chicken raised without added hormones.
- Best Breed Grain Free Cat Diet is formulated to meet the nutritional levels established by the AAFCO (Association of American Feed Control Officials) Cat Food Nutrient Profiles for all life stages.

Feeding Guidelines:
It is important to remember that your cat’s nutritional needs are unique and will vary with her environment, age and activity level. We recommend feeding to condition, this means using the following guide as a starting point, monitoring her weight and adjusting amounts accordingly. Feeding at least twice a day is optimal. Make sure fresh, clean water is available always.
