Is this food high pressure processed before it is freeze dried?

Answer by ChewyFeb 11, 2025
While they do not use High-Pressure Processing (HPP), their production processes are designed to naturally ensure food safety and preserve nutritional value: Ingredient Sourcing: All their meats are sourced from trusted suppliers within New Zealand, a country renowned for its high agricultural standards. Made in New Zealand: Every step of their production, from sourcing to final packaging, happens right here in New Zealand. This allows them to maintain strict control over quality and safety. Freeze-Drying and Air-Drying Processes: These methods remove moisture to naturally inhibit pathogens while retaining nutrients, ensuring the safety and wholesomeness of your pets’ food. Comprehensive Batch Testing: Every batch undergoes rigorous testing to confirm it meets safety standards before being released for distribution. New Zealand is renowned for its robust biosecurity measures and strict agricultural standards. Additionally, the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) enforces some of the strictest food safety regulations in the world. Their constant monitoring ensures that all products meet or exceed international safety requirements. Protecting New Zealand’s export market is vital to our economy, so maintaining this level of safety and quality is an absolute priority.

What is the DM protein content for this food?

Answer by ChewyMay 08, 2024
The dry matter protein content for this recipe is 36% min. Meow recipes are high in protein and complete and balanced with over 97% meat, organs, and bones. This brand adds in superfoods such as Kelp, New Zealand Green Mussel, Manuka Honey, Organic Virgin Coconut Oil, and Hoki Oil. No artificial preservatives, flavors, or fillers are used and they are free from gluten, grain, corn, soy, and GMO ingredients. This brand combines the nutrition and taste of fresh, raw food and gently freeze-dry it to protect all the natural enzymes and nutrients, so none of the wholesome goodness is cooked out.

Quality ingredients and generous portion

Our cats go nuts over this! It crumbles easily to make into a topper and they love this as individual treats too. It feels a lot more like food compared to other

Our cats go nuts over this! It crumbles easily to make into a topper and they love this as individual treats too. It feels a lot more like food compared to other treats that feel like super processed blocks. Can’t wait for the duck to come back in stock but excited to try other flavors.

I'm absolutely obsessed with this brand as it offers my cat high-quality nutrition that she cannot get enough of. My cat loves the Duck, along with the Brushtail, and I will be trying the Lamb and Hoki next. As I've been using this brand for the past 2 months, my cat's fur has become extremely soft and thick. Her eyes are clear and her ability to focus is easier (versus when she was on the Hills Science Diet cat food brand that is filled with questionable ingredients). I'm also mixing this food with the probiotics sold on Chewy. Overall, I can tell that my cat is super happy with this level of high-quality nutrition.

Cats love this food

It's expensive but my 2 cats eat this food without issue. I hydrate it with water, plate it, serve it and down the hatch it goes.

I've tried a wide range of freeze-dried raw foods and the duck recipe seems to be her absolute favorite. Mind you, I found her eating a rat under a truck when I rescued her, but now she demands only the best LOL. We've tried other flavors and she also liked chicken and salmon (8/10 but it comes all broken into dust flakes so I don't recommend unless you plan on rehydrating it anyways), brushtail (7/10), venison (6/10), and beef and hoki (0/10). I bought like 4 large packs of the duck recipe tho.

My Cat is happy

My cat absolutely loves this food. Generally when I get a different type of food and put it out for her to try she will not eat it. No matter how expensive it is

My cat absolutely loves this food. Generally when I get a different type of food and put it out for her to try she will not eat it. No matter how expensive it is or how great I think it will be for her she walks away. The first night I gave this to her I used it as a meal topper and she ate it all. I have been wanting to try raw but did not know where to start. This worked. Thank you Chewy for carrying this brand.
