This premium kibble is made with fresh Canadian-sourced duck and pears. We’re proud to source our duck from Brome Lake, Quebec, to ensure we are nourishing cats with only the highest quality protein from trusted sources.
The inclusion of pear not only enhances taste but also boosts nutritional value with high fiber, promoting digestive health for a balanced and wholesome meal your pet will enjoy.
This kibble and freeze-dried raw cat food is enriched with prebiotics and probiotics, fostering a healthy gut environment for your cat. This critical support to gut health ensures optimal digestion, absorption of nutrients, and contributes to overall well-being.

To bolster your cat’s immune system, this formula is fortified with essential vitamins and minerals. These nutrients work in harmony to support immune health, providing an extra layer of defense against common ailments. We understand the importance of a robust immune system in your pet’s overall vitality and strive to meet these needs with precision.

Transitioning to Nutrience: It is important to gradually transition your cat from one food to another. Start with a proportion of 25% Nutrience to 75% old food. Slowly change the proportions over the next 5 to 7 days by gradually increasing the amount of Nutrience and decreasing the amount of the old food.
TIPS: To keep Nutrience food fresh and nutritious after you open it, make sure to store it properly. Reseal the bag and store it somewhere cool and dry, out of the sun. Following these steps will help ensure that your pet enjoys the full benefits of the food with every meal.

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.
