Raw Food Nutrition Tables
Cats and Dogs have evolved to become our treasured companions in today's modern world. Through the centuries they have they have hunted and lived on a diet of small prey that has provided them the food they needed to survive. All the energy, vitamins, minerals and nutrients were all there, naturally.

In today's modern world many petfood companies are driven by profit at the expense of our treasured companions health and wellbeing. Cheap grains and cereals are used to bulk up the food and are often low grade. You need to ask yourself - if cats are strict carnivores (meat eaters) why are cereals used in many wet and dry catfoods? A cat stalking a feild mouse through a paddock of wheat is not going to stop to eat the wheat!

The nutrition tables below* outlines the naturally occuring vitamins, minerals and nutrients contained in both beef and rabbit. It is the raw natural goodness of their prey that has allowed them to be here with us today as our companions. If a natural diet has allowed cats and dogs to survive and evolve through thousands of years, they'll continue to thrive on a raw diet today.

Nature knows best.
