Beef Meat Mince

• 100% New Zealand sourced Beef - nothing added!

• Mince meat is great to add to your pet for added variety. If your pet is struggling to pass their stools, adding some boneless meat is a good way to dilute their bone intake.

• Keep boneless meat & fillets at no more than ⅓ of the overall diet.

• Provide your cat with a daily portion of raw food equaling to 3% of their current or ideal body weight

• To ensure a diverse and nutrient-rich diet, provide at least three different prey species throughout the week

• If introducing meat to a biscuit-fed pet, use boneless meat products but ensure it does not exceed ⅓ of their daily intake
