Rachael Ray of Food Network fame has developed a new line of cat food (dog food too) called "Nutrish" -- what a cute name, can't you hear her say it! Anyway Rachael used her basic cooking philosophy "simple recipes" to craft her brand of pet food. She worked with cat nutritionists to develop Nutrish. The Indoor Complete Chicken with Lentils and Salmon recipes #1 ingredient is chicken that is combined with a "superfood blend" to make sure indoor cats are happy and healthy. This is the first blog where fussy "TheMaxx" is eating -- he is beyond fussy but he loves this food, so does Zoey! TheMaxx is on the right of your screen and distinguished as always!
So what is in this superblend of Nutrish ... well... lentils, pumpkin, dandelion greens (this must be it!) cranberries and blueberries. So what does this superblend mean exactly? Lentils are naturally rich in fiber and protein; they are low in fat; basically supporting a healthy way for an indoor cat to live while maintaining optimal weight -- and yes, we all need to maintain a healthy weight! Pumpkin is fiber rich and good for digestion, cranberries and blueberries are rich in antioxidants and good sources of minerals like vitamin C that helps cat maintain a good immune system.
Leafy dandelion greens are high in fiber that has natural prebiotics your cat will benefit from. Another thing I really like about Nutrish , especially for Himalayan cats with their small mouths is the size of this food...another reason why TheMaxx is purring when eating it! He really is... because it is easy for him to eat. I have never heard him purr and eat, honest! Thank you, Rachael Ray for crafting this new kibble piece with it's unique shape and taste. It has a certain crunch to it... and is not too big and not too small. It is purrfect for a cat to chew and swallow. The Tonks however are never to be left out... they like Nutrish a lot too...
This month I am so glad I asked www.chewy.com to send this to me for a review -- it is 36% off, and honestly, my cats, all five love it! My next thought is how Rachael Ray would suggest to store the food.. I am not sure what suggestions Rachael would have and I am sure she has many tips she would want to add... but - here are a few basics that I follow....
1. Store food in a cool, dry location to keep it fresh... try a bag or a plastic container that seals tight. Never let moisture in the food
2. I never put "fresh" dry food into a container with "older" dry food. I finish it up, wash the container and then put in the new food.
3. I usually never have to check the sell by date, but yes, cat food now has that... so -- make sure you keep that in mind. If you are really ambitious you can cut out the production code and best before date and tape it to the container... thankfully, I never have to do this with all the hungry cats I have to feed!
