Varieties include cage-free turkey and farm-raised rabbit.

Made in the USA using the highest quality ingredients, these recipes avoid common allergens and are free from chicken, beef, fish, dairy, eggs, grains, corn, potatoes, wheat, soy, carrageenan, guar gum, xanthan gum, artificial colors, and preservatives.

Made with simple, natural ingredients, these hydrating, protein-packed paté meals offer complete and balanced nutrition. Plus, the tasty grain-free recipes are cat-tested and cat-approved for more mealtime excitement!

Does Nature's Variety source any of their ingredients from China?

Answer by ChewyApr 06, 2018
Nature's Variety is committed to using high quality, safe ingredients from government-inspected facilities. The natural ingredients are continuously inspected for quality and tested for analytical compliance before being accepted at their facilities. They do not source any of the meat or poultry from China. All of the poultry and pork come from the U.S., the beef is from the U.S. and New Zealand, lamb is from the U.S., Australia, and New Zealand, venison is imported from Australia and New Zealand, and the rabbit is imported from France and Italy. They are very stringent in their sourcing standards and prioritize building close relationships with the vendors. The only ingredient that may come from China, depending on the sourcing availability elsewhere, are the vitamins and minerals.

Can you give the limited ingredient food to kittens?

I've been looking for an alternative food option from the well known brands. One that has a single protein to help with my cats newly formed adversity to common recipes in the cat food category. Sadly after already having rotated between a couple of options, he wouldn't even touch Instinct. I cant tell you if its to bland or what. He just won't give it more the the first initial licks before he realizes he dislikes it.

Helped my older cat with hyperthyroidism and IBS.

He was able to eat the food and not negatively affect his system. My other 3 cats' fur is shiney and soft. They also have more energy. This is great for older cats

I am hoping to find a limited ingredient or hydrolyzed protein wet food that my two IBD cats as well as the 3 others, will eat. So far, they seem to accept this

Excellent Food with no Gums

My 14 year old cat has developed IBS. He eats mainly dry, but once a day gets wet. I have a total of 6 cats and he cannot eat their Fancy Feast because the gums

My 14 year old cat has developed IBS. He eats mainly dry, but once a day gets wet. I have a total of 6 cats and he cannot eat their Fancy Feast because the gums give him diarrhea. This is only one of 3 foods I have found that are thickened with something else. Limited Ingredient Turkey. He loves it, and so do all the rest of the "normal" gang. It is just wet enough that I only add a small amount of water and mush it up so he can lick it up since that seems to be the way he eats wet food. It is mid-range in price but I think it is premium quality. Easy to digest and seems to taste and smell good to them.

Stabone cannot eat any chicken or fish in any form. Does not like duck, lamb etc. we use no pork in my home. This food is one of only 2 or 3 that contains only turkey. He’s so fussy that I hope he doesn’t change his mind.
