    Preparing for the Kit(ten) Caboodle

    December is National Cat Lovers’ Month, and if there’s one thing that cat lovers want — it’s the whole kit(ten) caboodle. In other words, they want as much time with their cuddly companions as possible. This requires starting them off on a healthy path, so here are 5 tips on how to support your cat’s overall health and happiness:

    1. Create a Grooming Regimen
      Brushing your cat’s fur regularly will limit knots and hairballs, and a grooming routine also helps to maintain healthy human interaction with your cat.
    2. Start Them on a Supplement
      The early days are critical in building a strong nutritional foundation; however, many kittens don’t get the complex nutrients they need from a regular diet. The Kitten Kitfrom Standard Process, a leading whole food-based nutritional supplement company, can help provide nutritional support for healthy cats as they grow. Along with a cat nip toy, the Kitten Kit includes:

      1. Feline Whole Body Support: This offers general multisystem support for daily maintenance of all the body systems, with emphasis on a healthy endocrine system.
      2. Feline Immune System Support: This supports optimal function of the immune system and provides nutritional and biochemical support for healthy immune cells and tissues.
    3. Provide Enrichment Activities
      Scratching is a natural, healthy, and important behavior for cats. Training your cat to use a scratching post is a great way to keep their nails in top condition and it helps stretch their muscles.
    4. Maintain a Healthy Weight
      It’s best to keep your cat in a routine when it comes to feeding. To maintain a healthy weight, talk to your vet about which food is best for your cat.
    5. Schedule Regular Vet Appointments
      Annual visits are key as they give the vet a chance to catch any potential health issues in the early stages.

    Unlike most pet treats on the market that are made up of empty calories and fillers, and are high in carbohydrates, pawTreats are made with real meat and complementary fruits and vegetables. No fillers whatsoever! They’re all natural and completely grain free. Available in freeze-dried or dry-roasted varieties to preserve the goodness of the ingredients.

    Key Benefits:

    • Natural, wholesome and holistic

    • No corn, no wheat, no soy

    Freeze-Dried Process

    Freeze-dried is the closest to real food that you can get in a shelf stable form. Paw Tree’s freeze-dried treats are minimally processed so all the goodness stays in. Freeze drying is the process where the product is put into a frozen state and then into a freeze dryer – a large chamber that is pressurized and takes the meat directly from the frozen state to a dry state skipping the “wet” state. The result is delicious meaty treats that are high in protein and completely yappetizing!

    Dry-Roasted Process

    Dry-roasted treats are similar to jerky treats. The process takes about 15 hours to fully dehydrate the meat to the proper consistency to meet pawTree’s standards. The dry-roasted treats are all meat with some fruits and vegetables – 100% goodness!
