Tailoring Nutrition for the Obligate Carnivore: Phytopet’s Approach to Feline Health


Cats, unlike dogs and humans, are obligate carnivores. This means their evolution has finely tuned their bodies to derive nutrition almost exclusively from animal sources. Their digestive systems are not designed to process carbohydrates effectively, which poses a significant issue with many commercial cat foods that are high in carbs and fillers. At Phytopet, we understand the critical nature of catering to a cat's inherent dietary needs with our specialized supplements: grass-fed freeze-dried beef organs and omega-rich salmon oil.

The Carnivore’s Diet: What Cats Really Need

As obligate carnivores, cats thrive on a diet that mimics what they would eat in the wild - primarily meat. Their bodies are designed to extract nutrients from animal tissue, requiring a high-protein, low-carbohydrate diet for optimal health. The common high-carb content in many commercial cat foods can lead to various health issues, including obesity, diabetes, and digestive problems.

Grass-Fed Freeze-Dried Beef Organs: A Raw Alternative

Recognizing the gap in nutritional content offered by many commercial diets, Phytopet’s grass-fed freeze-dried beef organs provide a convenient, nutrient-dense supplement. These organs deliver the essential nutrients cats would naturally consume, offering:

  • A Rich Source of Protein: Vital for muscle maintenance, growth, and overall health.
  • Natural Vitamins and Minerals: Key for supporting organ function, vision, and reproductive health.

This supplement allows cat owners to enrich their pets' diets with the critical nutrients of a raw diet without the inconvenience or expense of full raw feeding.

Salmon Oil: Essential Fatty Acids for Feline Health

To complement the high-protein benefits of our beef organs, Phytopet’s salmon oil is an excellent source of omega-3, 6, and 9 fatty acids, essential for:

  • Skin and Coat Health: Promoting a shiny coat and healthy skin, crucial for cats who groom frequently.
  • Anti-Inflammatory Benefits: Omega-3s help reduce inflammation, benefiting cats with conditions like arthritis or inflammatory bowel disease.
  • Supporting Heart and Kidney Health: Essential for the longevity and quality of life in all cats, particularly seniors.

Implementing a Carnivore-Suitable Diet

Incorporating Phytopet's freeze-dried beef organs and salmon oil into your cat's diet supports their obligate carnivore needs. These supplements can easily be added to your cat’s meals, offering a way to enhance their nutritional intake without the carbohydrates that their bodies can't process effectively.
