Frequently Asked Questions

Here you will find answers to questions asked to our customer service, practical tips for feeding your dog with PLATINUM dog food prepared with FSG and for feeding your cat with MeatCrisp from the Freshmeatdryer.

Cat Food

Cats are obligate carnivores, i.e. meat eaters. They need meat and animal proteins for a complete supply of nutrients. However, cats also consume some of the prey's organs, which means that they also eat other food components (grasses, herbs, cereals, vegetables and fruit) that are beneficial for digestion.

Yes, our MeatCrisp Sterilised has a reduced calorie content and is therefore generally suitable for cats with a lower energy metabolism, especially indoor-only cats and neutered cats.

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.

If you want to offer your cat additional variety through wet food, this is possible. Please feed these separately to MeatCrisp and not mixed in one meal.

We currently do not have any snacks for cats in our range. However, our MeatCrisp is very suitable as a small reward or treat for in between meals and can also be used, for example, in “fiddle boards” and other intelligence toys. The croquettes of our dry kitten food are slightly smaller and therefore also good to use as treats.

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.

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.

Since cats are very picky, a slow change over several days is recommended. At the beginning, only a few kibbles should be mixed with their familiar dry food to get the cat used to the new smell and taste. This amount can then be increased continuously over the next few days. After about a week, the cat will usually have used to the new food.

If your cat still refuses the food, go back to their previous food and try the change in smaller steps. Please do not let your cat starve under any circumstances, as this can be life-threatening for your cat.

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.
