Low Carb Kibble

Designed for Obligate Carnivores

Kittens are not just small cats; they are strict carnivores with immense energy needs.

While they look cute and cuddly, their internal biology is that of a hunter.

They require a diet designed for survival and growth, one that prioritizes animal proteins and fats over non-essential carbs.

The Carbohydrate Trap

Kittens eat to obtain energy first and foremost.

In many other pet foods, this energy comes from carbohydrates. However, cats are inefficient at processing carbs.

While a dog requires moderate protein, a cat instinctively prefers and requires a high protein, moderate fat, and very low carbohydrate diet.

Feeding a growing kitten a kibble packed with plant protein deprives them of the essential amino acids they need to build muscle and organ tissue.

The Precision of the Prey Model

We don’t formulate based on trends; we formulate based on the energy equation of nature.

The Energy Math:

Where do cats prefer to get their energy from?

  • Fat 40%
  • Protein 50%
  • Carbs 10%

The FOR PAWS™ Approach:

We maximize the most efficient sources.

We provide a very high animal protein and animal fat profile to drive growth and fuel their metabolism.

Complete and Balanced

This means our food provides every nutrient your kitten needs each day, in the correct amounts and proportions, with nothing missing and nothing excessive, ensuring they thrive during their most critical development window.

Specific Fats for Specific Needs

Kittens cannot simply “make do” with vegetable oils.

Animal Fats vs. Vegetable Fats:

For cats, the type of fat matters just as much as the amount.

Carnivores metabolize animal fats differently than plant fats.

Their bodies rely on specific fatty acids (like Linoleic and Arachidonic Acid) that largely come from animal sources and are essential for:

  • Vision
  • Brain development
  • Healthy immune system

Very High Protein:

We ensure protein is the star of the show.

This provides the structural blocks for growing muscles and ensures your kitten develops a lean, strong body composition.

Metabolic Efficiency:

By fueling them with protein and fat rather than carbs, your kitten’s body doesn’t have to work overtime to convert food into energy.

Sustained Play:

High-quality animal fats deliver more than double the energy of carbs, providing sustained stamina for those play sessions.

Satiety:

Nutrient-dense food signals fullness faster. Your kitten gets the calories they need.

Thermal Regulation:

Essential fats help your kitten regulate their body temperature as they grow.

What Our Cat Parents Are Saying

"Finally, a food that matches his energy!"

We quickly realised Dusty was meant to be an outdoor cat. The final clue was when he decided to pee on every mattress in the house.

Now he spends his days racing from tree to tree like a tiny wild hunter and I need a food that suits him. After learning more about obligate carnivores, I knew I didn’t want to feed him corn or wheat, so FOR PAWS™ food and treats were the obvious choice.

He’s growing so fast, his coat feels like silk, and his hunter mode during playtime is seriously impressive. 🐾
