Here at The Pet Beastro, we believe strongly in feeding pets a raw diet. That's why we started our 90-Day Raw Pet Food Challenge this year with ANSWERS™ Pet Food, one of our favorite raw pet food producers. A raw diet can especially work wonders for our cats.

Take for example, ANSWERS™ Detailed™ Chicken Formula for Cats. It's made with chicken, chicken liver, chicken heart, ground chicken bone, chicken eggs, raw-cultured goat milk, raw-cultured whey, montmorillonite, carrot fiber, sea salt, and natural vitamin E. Plus, it comes with a host of benefits:

No Heat or Pressure Pasteurization

ANSWERS™ Pet Food never uses heat or pressure pasteurization, which can destroy nutrients and denature proteins that can be potential allergens.

Raw Cultured Whey

ANSWERS™ food includes raw-cultured whey, which protects it from pathogenic bacteria all the way to the bowl. Raw-cultured whey is the perfect source of probiotics for cats since cultured food populates the gut 100 times better than probiotic pills or powders. Whey provides the extra protein cats need.

No Synthetic Vitamins

ANSWERS™ food never includes synthetic vitamins, which can be potentially harmful and put stress on your cat’s elimination organs (the kidney and liver). It also only uses whole food to bring all the necessary nutrients to your cat’s diet.

Unique Ingredients

Montmorillonite - A natural source of minerals that also helps remove toxins from the body.

Carrot Fiber – This is a natural fiber required for digestion. In the wild cats would ingest hair and other forms of fiber to aid in digestion.

Celtic Sea Salt™ – All living beings require salt for proper health and digestion. Sea salt is not like table salt; it is not processed and retains its minerals.

Vitamin E - ANSWERS™ uses a natural non GMO source of palm oil, which is necessary as freezing diminishes vitamin E.

Green Recyclable Packaging

Plastic not only pollutes our environment, but also transmits toxins to food, especially when frozen in plastic. ANSWERS™ uses green packaging to minimize plastic contamination to the environment and your pet’s food.

The Right Combination

ANSWERS™ food contains the right combination of muscle meat (60 percent), organ meat (30 percent), and ground bone (10 percent) to deliver proper nutrition to your cat. ANSWERS™ Detailed™ formula has the right protein to fat ratio, making it appropriate to feed to cats with kidney disease.

Professionally Formulated

ANSWERS™ Pet Food is professionally formulated by their food scientist to ensure cats get all the nutrients they need. There is no need to supplement with probiotics, enzymes, or Omega-3. It is all in the food at the precise amounts that cats require.
