Why is baked dry pet food better than extruded dry pet food?
Because we bake our dog and cat foods, we are able to use up to twice as much fresh meat as extruded pet foods. Then there’s better palatability - in 1 third - party study, Lotus Wholesome Duck Recipe fed 11/2 times better as a first choice against the leading specialty dry duck formulas for dogs. And we do it all without any added flavors or sprayed on fats (Feel the difference - Lotus is not greasy like most extruded foods).Baked foods are cooked at 1 atmospheric pressure slowly cooking and browning each piece of Lotus. Extruders cook food at 2 - 3 times atmospheric pressure using steam. Extruded kibble gets its puffy appearance from being cooked at such high pressure, then being released back into normal atmospheric pressure after cooking. This is cooking from the inside out (think microwave).Oven - baked Lotus retains 100% of its vitamins. Extruded dog and cat foods typically lose an average of 40% of their vitamins. This means that all of Lotus’ fresh fruits and vegetables still provide all of those wonderful antioxidants to keep your best friend’s cells healthy. Lotus even retained 100% of its proteins compared to extruded foods that typically lose 20% during drying the drying process.Feed less! A bag of Lotus lasts 20% longer. This is because a cup of Lotus weighs only 4 oz and many extruded foods weigh an average of 6 ozSlow oven - baking takes about 3 times as long, but we think all the benefits are worth it.
Why do some of the lotus kibble pieces look like they have grill marks on them?
Lotus dry foods are baked in real ovens, like the 1 you have at home. So, of course, there will be some browning from the oven. The Lotus kibbles come out shaped slightly different from each other—the same way homemade cookies are never perfectly round.
Where does lotus source all of their ingredients?
All ingredients are sourced in North America (USA and Canada). There are 3 exceptions on our ingredient lists: New Zealand Green Mussel, Deboned Lamb and Lamb Meal - all these great ingredients come from New Zealand.
Where is lotus made?
Our oven - baked foods are made in small batches in a family owned and operated Canadian bakery. all of our canned foods are made in small batches in our very own micro - cannery in California.
Why are whole grains beneficial?
We use whole grains because of the many nutritional benefits they provide. For example, brown rice provides vitamin E to help maintain healthy cells. Brown rice also supplies insoluble fiber which becomes food for the good bacteria in your pet’s large intestine.In fact, our brown rice is actually more expensive than chicken meal because it’s the same brown rice you’d cook at home. Although chicken meal is a nutritious ingredient, it’s not used in the household kitchen.Rye is another whole grain, but this 1 has the highest concentration of lignans, antioxidant like compounds that help keep cells healthy.Barley and oatmeal are a great source of B vitamins, as well as insoluble fiber, which can help feed good bacteria in the large intestine.
What makes the oil blend in lotus so good for my pet’s skin and coat?
We selected 3 special oils for our dog food, each with their own amazing benefits. We chose soy oil because it is a good source of omega - 6 and omega - 3 fatty acids in the form of Alpha Linolenic Acid. We chose olive oil because it’s a rich source linoleic acid (omega - 6). And we added salmon oil because it’s rich in 2 omega - 3 fatty acids - DHA and EPA. DHA has been shown to improve learning in puppies whose mothers were fed a diet containing DHA. All Lotus cat recipes contain chicken fat as well because cats have an increased need for fat, as compared to dogs.
How do I know that lotus is really ethoxyquin free?
Lotus only purchases proteins that are specified by the manufacturer to be preserved with vitamin E, citric acid, and rosemary. This means all our fish, fish meal, chicken, chicken meal, lamb, lamb meal, duck, and duck meal are all naturally preserved. We do this even though we could claim our food is natural by just adding a natural preservative to the food and not worrying about how our proteins are preserved. We feel it’s necessary to go the extra mile and commit to never buying proteins that are preserved with things like Ethoxyquin, BHT, or BHA even though they are cheaper.
I hear many pet food companies say their food contains no soy. will the soy oil in lotus cause an allergic reaction in my dog or cat?
No, the soy oil is 1 of the oils in Lotus that supplies both linoleic acid (an omega 6 fatty acid) and alpha linolenic acid(an omega 3 fatty acid). It is not a protein like soybean meal which is often used as an inexpensive source of protein in some foods. Allergies are primarily caused by proteins, not fatty acids or oils. In fact, Lotus does not use any concentrated plant based proteins like soybean meal, potato protein, pea protein or rice protein concentrate, for that very reason.
I’ve heard that taurine is a necessary nutrient for cats. I’ve seen added taurine recently in some lamb and rice foods for dogs. why doesn’t lotus add taurine to their lamb and rice formula for dogs?
Because dogs can produce taurine if they have all of the required amino acids. Lotus lamb supplies these amino acids with lamb meat, Pollock and lamb meal as protein sources and not just lamb meal. Lamb meal tends to be higher in ash (bone) and collagen than lamb meat and doesn’t have as much usable protein. Also, Lotus does not use ingredients like rice bran which is often combined with lamb meal which is often the only protein source in other dog foods. When a dog is fed this type of diet, he/she may not get all of the required amino acids to produce taurine, so those dog foods add taurine. A deficiency in taurine can lead to heart issues.
Who does the artwork on lotus’ packaging?
All of the Lotus packaging artwork is done by Bay Area artist Nicholas Wilton. The natural, organic shapes and textures represented in Wilton’s work reflect the organic, holistic nature of Lotus foods. That’s why we chose Wilton to illustrate the images that our art director, Betsy Nathane designed. Wilton’s work can be found at nicholaswiltonpaintings.com

Like broccoli for cats
By NoLotus on Feb 4, 2021
Unfortunately none of my cats like this food. My cats are becoming picky, they no longer are eating the Royal Canin wet food varieties I’ve been buying so I’m trying to find a food they will eat to maintain their health and nutrition.

Good food for fussy cats
By Robusto on Dec 23, 2020
Like many reviewers I have 2 cats that never like the same thing. I have donated probably 10 cases of food (since you have to buy a whole case to try it on Chewy) to the local vet trying to find something they will both eat. I've tried most of the brands with the best ingredients but what one cat will eat the other wont. Finally... Lotus, they like it. If your cats like pate, they will probably like this.

Not a favorite
By catzmomzer on Jan 9, 2021
Our three cats wont even go near this food when I try to feed them the Lotus Turkey Pate. If there was a way to return it, I certainly would do that. I read reviews about it and it had an A Rating, but not for our cats. They gave it an F Rating.

My cat loves this.
By Dolly on Jan 19, 2021
I lightly mix it with Fussiecat tuna/chicken in aspic, because that's what I was doing with the other healthy pate (which recently became unavailable). Lo and behold, she loves this stuff on its own!

Cats love ANY Lotus Pate!
By Robin on Nov 22, 2020
My cats will finish off any of the lotus pates. So far they've had Duck, Chicken, Salmon and Turkey with no issues. I do have to smash it up to a mashed potato consistency on the plate. If any chunks of loaf are on the plate they won't eat it till its smashed but that's my cats with ANY pate food. They don't seem to throw it up either so that is definitely a plus.

Won't eat it
By Sunbird on Sep 6, 2020 Top 50 Contributor
The ingredients and quality are good but none of this matters if the cats won't eat it. I tried adding a small amount of warm water to soften the pate a little but they still refused to eat it.

not a hit at my house
By Jilma on Jul 22, 2020 Top 250 Contributor
My four cats love turkey and pate. I assumed this would be a win-win. I am always trying to mix it up for them. The loved it day one and after that, never even touched it. I wish they liked it, as the ingredient list made me happy. I donated the remaining cans.

No Interest
By giffer2u on Aug 18, 2020
This pate is very solid and must be mixed with liquid. My 3 cats are definitely not fans, and often leave it uneaten on their plates.

Cat did not like
By Gina on Jul 10, 2020
Unfortunately my cat took one sniff and walked away. After multiple attempts I gave up and donated the remaining cans to a shelter.
