Product details
MeatCrisp is the first wholesome cat food from a Freshmeatdryer. It contains fresh meat’s natural micronutrients and amino acids, making MeatCrisp a better substitute for a cat’s natural prey than most commercial cat foods. If you feed your cat MeatCrisp, it will feel more stable and relaxed and thus happier. The crispy bite and meaty taste of MeatCrisp make it so delicious that your cat won’t want to eat anything else.

Food change
Since cats are very picky, it is recommended to change the food slowly, over several days. In the beginning, only a few kibbles should be mixed with the familiar dry food, to get the cat used to the new smell and taste. This amount can be gradually increased over the next few days. After about a week, the cat will usually be used to the new food.
If your cat still refuses the food, go back to the familiar food and try the change in smaller steps. Please do not let your cat go hungry under any circumstances, as this can be life-threatening for your cat.

FAQ
No, you can rely on the fact that no animal experiments are done for the product development and production of our food and care products - neither by us, nor by any other third party.
MeatCrisp can be kept unopened or opened for up to 18 months after production, and should be stored in a dry place and in the original bag. All information on the minimum shelf life of PLATINUM dry food can also be found on the product packaging.
To avoid loss of flavour, please store MeatCrisp in the original bag. The integrated hook-and-loop fastener allows it to be easily and securely closed again and again in an airtight manner.
To avoid contamination with parasites or germs, we advise against decanting into other containers.
Fresh meat has a higher nutritional content, a higher biological value, and a higher protein digestibility compared to meat and bone meals, which are usually used in conventional cat food. Furthermore, meat and bone meal do not contain the nutritious flavour carrier fat and nutrient-rich meat juices, which are present in fresh meat. This is due to the effect of high temperatures during the production of meat and bone meal. This negative effect is exacerbated in conventional feed production, as the extrusion process most commonly used involves high temperatures combined with high pressure. MeatCrisp, on the other hand, is prepared using a fresh meat dryer. This is the first time that it has been possible to prepare a complete dry food for cats from fresh meat. The extraordinary thing about the fresh meat dryer is that it preserves the natural micronutrients and amino acids of the fresh meat. This is because the fresh meat dryer crisps the fresh meat with other ingredients that are important for cat health at a low temperature and with circulating air. The slow and even drying process preserves the natural flavour of the meat as well as the right nutritional composition for your cat's health. MeatCrisp is therefore extremely tasty for your cat — even without attractants.
PLATINUM MeatCrisp is a complete dry food for your cat, which provides the right nutrient composition for the cat's organism. Of course, you can continue to offer your cat wet food in a separate bowl if desired. In our experience, it is not advisable to mix dry food with wet food, as this is often not accepted by cats. For food-sensitive cats, however, the compositions of dry and wet food should not differ too much. In particular, the protein sources (e.g. chicken) should be as identical as possible.
Several small meals a day are best for cats. However, you should decide on an individual basis how many meals your cat needs per day according to its eating habits. You should never offer more than one daily ration per day. For cats that divide their portion themselves, it is possible to refill the daily ration once a day. However, cats that always eat their portions directly should be given several smaller meals per day.
Feeding from automatic feeders is also possible and MeatCrisp is ideal for this.
Weighing them gives a good indication, but of course there are differences depending on the breed. The best way to assess your cat’s condition is by touching and looking at it. The ribs should not be visible or directly palpable, but they should also not be hidden under a thick layer of fat. With gentle pressure, you should be able to feel the ribs well when stroking over them. The waist should be visible, depending on the coat, but in any case should be easily palpable and narrower than the chest. In addition, the knee fold (skin fold between the abdomen and the hind leg) should be skin on skin, i.e. without a layer of fat. More information here.
Taurine is an essential amino acid for cats. This means that the cat cannot produce this amino acid itself and must take it in with the food. The amount of taurine contained in MeatCrisp meets the needs of a healthy cat.
