Is this ok to feed to a cat with kidney failure ?

Hi Jacqueline, thank you for your interest in Freshpet. All of our recipes are complete and balanced; however, they are not designed for specific medical conditions. Freshpet contains high levels of protein and phosphorous and would not be recommended for a pet with kidney or renal disease. We suggest seeking the advice of your veterinarian before trying any of our recipes. They’ll know your cat's health and medical history best. We hope this information is helpful.

What is the “natural flavors “ listed—what protein source? I have a cat with food allergies

Feel free to reach out to us at https://www.freshpet.com/contact with your cat's specific nutritional requirements. We'd be happy to see if we have a recipe suited to their needs.

Are the products for dogs safe to give to cats?

Hi Patricia, Freshpet dog recipes are formulated to meet the nutritional needs of dogs. We wouldn't recommend feeding it to cats since the nutritional needs of cats and dogs differ.
