What are Five things to love about Whole Earth Farms Cat Food

It is not easy to choose the right wet cat food for your four legged furry cat friends. There are so many dietary considerations to think about and so many choices.  I look for five basic things when choosing cat food and I found all five in Whole Earth Farms grain free wet cat food when browsing chewy.com.  Two kittens and a fussy eight year old himalayan --  themaxx (pictured below) ... and two tonkinese always presents a challenge!

1. High quality protein.  The first is thing I look for when reading the list of ingredients is a  high level of quality protein and if it is all natural or holistic that is even better.  With that in mind, I decided to try the duck formula by Whole Earth Farms in order to rotate the types of protein my cats eat on a daily and weekly basis.  I would get bored eating the same thing day in and day out and I think my cats do too!   Experts claim that rotating your cat's diet also prevents your cat from becoming finicky and also helps to decrease the risk of your cat developing a food allergy by eating the same food on a daily, weekly or monthly basis. Even themaxx wanted a taste of this!

2. Good Source of Vitamins and Minerals.  The vitamins included in Whole Farms are: Vitamin E Supplement, Vitamin B12 Supplement, d-Calcium Pantothenate, Vitamin A Supplement, Niacin, Vitamin D3 Supplement, Riboflavin Supplement, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, Folic Acid, Biotin,  and Thiamine Mononitrate. The minerals include: Zinc Amino Acid Complex, Iron Amino Acid Complex, Manganese Amino Acid Complex, Copper Amino Acid Complex, Potassium Iodide, Cobalt Glucoheptonate, and Sodium Selenite. This is an impressive and thoughtful list indeed!

 3. Grain Free - The real duck recipe and other protein options by Whole Earth Farms are grain free which means there are no fillers like rice or barley; there are also no by-products such as corn, soy or any other fillers.  Even though these are considered to be healthy in human nutrition, the digestive system of cats have a hard time digesting these unnecessary carbs.

4. Good Moisture Content.  Contrary to what most of us believe, cats just don't drink enough water.  The moisture content in this food is 78% that helps them keep hydrated that is especially important in the summer heat considering their low thirst drive. I like to stick with foods between 70% and 78% moisture and I am not opposed to adding a dash of water to their wet food. As you can see, Zoey loves this food and is my diva!

5.  Made in the USA.  Whole Earth Farms uses all ingredients from and is cooked in America!  And, the most important is that my cats love it; and best of all; chewy.com is offering the duck pate  at a discount -  a case of 24 cans usually sells for $30.96 and currently, it is marked down to $25.88, become a auto ship member and save 5% and orders over $49 don't pay shipping!

Speaking of farms, in Litchfield Hills, there is a great farmers market at  South Farms in Morris Connecticut.  This iconic and historic farm highlights a farmers market every Sunday with the best of the best highlighted. The White Barn  is a perfect venue for parties and events and weddings in a setting of great natural beauty.
