Glucosamine and chondroitin
Joint health is very important in helping cats run, jump, walk and play. Catit Recipes contains specific, balanced levels of glucosamine and chondroitin to assist in maintaining joint health. This helps slow joint deterioration, assists in pain relief for osteoarthritis and eases growing pains in kittens.
Essential taurine
Taurine is an amino acid, that is being viewed more and more as essential for cats’ vision and heart muscle function. Since cats have a limited ability to create taurine within their bodies, it absolutely must be included in their diet.
Pre- and probiotics
Prebiotics and probiotics help maintain a healthy digestive system, helping to prevent common issues such as constipation or diarrhoea.

Rich in low-glycemic carbohydrates
Low-glycemic carbohydrates increase the feeling of fullness, helping your cat maintain a healthy body weight. This type of slower-acting carbohydrates helps keep blood sugar levels steady, and as such it is also better suited for cats that suffer from diabetes.

Is Catit Recipes suited for kittens and senior cats?
Yes. Catit Recipes is formulated to meet the nutritional levels established by the AAFCO Cat Food Nutrient Profiles for all life stages.
Can I mix Catit Recipes with other cat food?
Sure! Mix and match as much as you like. When transitioning your cat from their current cat food to Catit Recipes, we strongly advise doing so gradually. This process helps prevent diarrhoea and an upset stomach.
Do I need to feed my cat wet food in addition to Catit Recipes?
Catit Recipes is a complete food. Therefore it isn’t strictly necessary to serve your cat wet food in addition. However, wet food is a great source of moisture for your cat, and could be an additional help in preventing urinary tract diseases. If you think your cat drinks only a little, check out Catit Dinner and our Catit Drinking Fountains.
ABOUT CATIT RECIPES
Why choose low-carb cat food like Catit Recipes?
Diets that include large amounts of grain, rice, and corn tend to be high in carbohydrates, which may lead to hyperactivity and weight gain. Large amounts of carbs also cause stress to the liver and kidneys, and could lead to sensitivities and even allergies. Catit Recipes is low-carb as it is completely free of these ingredients. Thanks to the high protein levels and low carb levels, Catit Recipes helps keep your cat in shape.
Why is protein so important in cat food?
Cats are obligate carnivores that need a high-quality source of protein to stay happy and healthy. A cat’s body breaks down proteins into amino acids, which is needed to build muscle cells and enzymes. Catit Recipes includes a ton of high-quality, easily digestible meat protein so your cat gets all the nutrients they need to thrive.
Is Catit Recipes more easily digestible than other dry food, and how can I tell the difference in my cat?
Inferior cat food contains large amounts of grain, rice and corn, which are all very hard for cats to digest and metabolize as those ingredients contain tons of carbohydrates. This can cause flatulence, bloating and diarrhea. As we care a lot for your cat’s well-being, Catit Recipes is 100% free of corn, wheat and rice. Our mission is to keep your cat happy and healthy, which can only be achieved with the very best ingredients.
What is taurine?
Taurine isn’t just a common ingredient in energy drinks, it’s also a vital component in cat food. Taurine is an essential amino acid that is critical for your cat’s vision, digestion, heart muscle function, and to maintain a healthy immune system. While most mammals are able to physically produce enough taurine inside their body to meet their needs, cats have a limited ability to do so. This means taurine absolutely must be included in their diet. Each Catit Recipes variety contains a balanced amount of taurine, for your cat’s well-being and longevity.
What is meant by “Catit Recipes doesn’t contain any cheap fillers”?
With cheap fillers, we mean ingredients that have little to no functional value to cats, that are added to some cat foods to give it more volume and cut the overall cost of the food. Luckily, we are different. All ingredients in Catit Recipes contribute to your cat’s health and well-being.
Catit Recipes supports healthy skin and coat, with reduced inflammation. What exactly do you mean by inflammation?
Inflammation is the body’s protective response to harmful stimuli like injury, infection or others irritants. Sometimes, inflammation can become chronic, resulting in painful conditions. The most common types of chronic inflammation in cats are inflammatory bowel disease (diarrhea and vomiting), dermatomyositis (skin and coat), and arthritis (joints). Catit Recipes contains specific omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals, to reduce the risk and intensity of chronic inflammation.
Is Catit Recipes approved by pet food nutritionists?
Absolutely! The composition of Catit Recipes was determined with great care by specialized cat nutritionists. Only the very best is good enough for your cat!
Is Catit Recipes suited for cats with allergies, diabetes, or urinary tract problems?
If your cat has a medical condition, always consult your veterinarian or cat nutritionist before changing their diet. This is necessary in order to ensure that you make the best choice for your cat.
Cats don’t eat fruits or vegetables in the wild. Why are they included in Catit Recipes?
The fruits, vegetables and botanicals in Catit Recipes are rich in vital nutrients and antioxidants, which are the natural protectors of the body that help strengthen the immune system. These are the benefits that each ingredient adds to the mix:
- Pumpkin, carrots, spinach and broccoli: rich in betacarotene, a nutrient that promotes eye and skin health, prevents heart disease and improves immunity.
- Apples: packed with pectin, a dietary fiber that helps support digestion.
- Ginger, fennel, peppermint and camomile: help the digestion as well.
- Blueberries and cranberries: super fruits that combat ageing, and help prevent cancer, dementia, heart disease and urinary tract infections.
- Turmeric and liquorice: have natural anti-inflammatory properties.
- Juniper berry extract: supports kidney function and urinary tract health.
