As with all new foods, gradually introduce Addiction over 6 days to prevent stomach upsets. Feed 20% Addiction and 80% of the old food for first 2 days and gradually increase proportion of Addiction over the next 4 days. By the 6th day you can be confident of feeding Addiction for the rest of your pets' life.
It is critical that Addiction is slowly introduced to your pet over the 6 day period. Not following these guidelines may result in your pet experiencing gastrointestinal discomfort or related symptoms.
Our Food Technologists oversee the sourcing and selection of raw ingredients. Most of our meats are obtained from New Zealand and Australia. We do not source raw materials from China. We select our raw materials suppliers based on stringent quality standards and reputation and conduct regular reviews to ensure that standards are continually met. We are the first company to champion using wild game meats as a superior protein source for dogs and cats. All animal protein sources are wild caught or free range, and are thus free from harmful GMOs and antibiotics. We are also a leader in championing environmentally-friendly manufacturing processes. Furthermore, traceability of all our ingredients is mandatory for our manufacturing plants.
All our manufacturing plants have laboratories where in-house testing is carried out. Further testing is then carried out by independent, accredited laboratories. This stringent testing applies to every batch that we produce before exporting our foods. We are in contact with our manufacturing plants on a daily basis to ensure that manufacturing processes and Standard Operating Procedures are followed closely. All these means that our plants follow a HACCP program as required by the authorities. Third-party auditors visit our plants no less than once a month to ensure that set standards are met.
Loose stools is a common occurrence if any new food, Addiction or otherwise, is introduced to a pet as it takes about 1 week for your pet to get accustomed to the new food. The feeding guidelines provided for the previous question are useful for those introducing Addiction to their pets for the first time.
The choice of oil in our foods is one that we have spent a great deal of time researching. For every oil there are advantages and disadvantages. Of the vegetable oils, Canola oil provides a good balance between stability and good fat profile.While there are oils such as olive oil and walnut oils which are also considered healthy, they are extremely unstable and will oxidize very quickly at room temperature. We have done extensive trials with the different types of animal and vegetable oils. We have trialed sunflower oil, Salmon oil, flaxseed oil and many others. Once again, each of them presented different strengths and weaknesses in our trials. Overall we have found that Canola oil presents the best option for our foods.Canola oil is expensive compared to vegetable oils such as corn, soy, peanut or palm oils and animal fats such as tallow and chicken but we have chosen it because we feel that it is the healthiest option.We only use human-grade canola oil, the same product that you would find in your supermarket.

I have 3 indoor cats and 2 feral cats. Two cats will eat this food if they are very hungry. The other 3 cats will just nibble a little bit and walk away.They do not like round kibble.
I was excited about this food since I have a cat with chicken allergies & trying to find something she can eat besides fish since I have multiple casts & worried about urinary tract problems. My cats also love Duck wet food so thought this would be a good choice. The 2 cats I feed this to absolutely loved this food. When I first mixed it with their regular dry food they dug around food bowl to get this food so I was very pleased. However I doubt I will buy it again because after over a month of using this food my cats had diarrhea & to make matters worse they have long hair so had poopy butts. I thought it would go away once their systems got use to it (I mixed regular food w/ it for almost 2 weeks), but it only stopped after they finished the bag & started eating their regular food again. For whatever reason this did not agree with my cats digestive system, but still recommend it especially if cats are allergic to chicken. The kibble is really small so good for elderly cats too.
My cat really really likes this food which is hard to say about most dry food for most cats. Everyone always compliments how healthy looking she is regarding her size and coat too, which I attribute to this food she’s been on now for approx 1 year. She’s an indoor/outdoor cat for reference and will nibble this all throughout the day as she comes and goes in and out.
We recently switched my cats food over to Addiction's Duck Royale and my cat loves it! I would 100% recommend this to anybody who has a cat.
Looking for a good quality duck food for my IBS baby but he did not like the smell of this food at all.
We have a cat that has food allergies. We tried many kinds of foods and they all made her itchy to the point of her face constantly being scabby. This food combined with Tiki Cat's mackerel and sardine wet food and her skin has completely cleared and she's even lost a lot of weight. Overall much healthier and happier.
My cat is picky. Addiction is her food of choice. Salmon and Duck are what we use, and she loves it and looks great.
Spoiled Siamese likes this healthy dry food. Need I say more. :-)
"Mr. Picky" Caesar will only eat dry food. Surprisingly he he likes and eats this food with no issues. Great food for a cat with a chicken allergy. Even Claudio will sneak a few bites if he thinks I'm not looking. And he is a die hard for raw food.
My cat hates all food that isn’t fish or duck. Thought she’d love it, but she hates this one. Big thumbs up from the vet, wanted to love it. But just can’t.
