Feeding Guidelines:

Nutrience Original meets the nutritional requirements of adult cats. How much food your cat needs depends on their size, age, activity level and environment. Simply start with our recommendations, adjust as needed, and make sure to always have fresh water available.

Changing to Nutrience

It is always important to gradually transition your cat from one food to another, even when changing formulas within the same brand.

Start with around 25% Nutrience mixed with 75% old food on day one. Slowly increase the amount of Nutrience over 7 days. Gradually decrease the amount of the old food over the same time.

Nutrience

Nutrience took its name from the word ‘science’ and the word ‘nutrient’ from the latin word ‘nutriens’ meaning to nourish or feed. These guiding principles have led Nutrience to providing dogs and cats with complete and balanced diets for over 30 years. Proper nourishment has been at the core of Nutrience’s philosophy and continues to fuel its innovation. All Nutrience formulas meet the nutritional standards set by AAFCO with ingredients that are humanely raised and sustainably harvested. Here at Nutrience, we believe that a healthy lifestyle begins in the bowl.

 Crafted in small batches in our very own kitchen located in British Columbia, Canada, Nutrience formulas are made with locally sourced proteins, fruits, and vegetables. Our 9.98 million square kilometers of endless lakes, rivers and forests stretching from the Maritimes to the British Columbia coasts provide us with some of the best raw ingredients for our dog and cat foods and treats. We take great pride in sourcing fresh poultry, meats, wild-caught fish, and produce directly from Canadian farmers, ranchers and fishermen –chicken and turkey from Fraser Valley; beef and bison from the Prairies; or any of the wild-caught fish that is plentiful in the cold, clear waters of the Pacific Northwest.
