INFORMATION |
 MODERATE PROTEIN LEVELS: We use a unique combination of proteins combined with the novel source of garbanzo beans to provide a balanced diet for your cat’s overall well-being.
COMPLETELY GRAIN FREE: Grain-free carbohydrate sources, like sweet potatoes, provide the energy your cat needs to thrive in their natural form.
HEALTHY DIGESTION: PREBIOTICS: Prebiotics feed the beneficial bacteria that reside in a healthy digestive tract so that your cat can maintain optimal digestion.
UNIQUE: FRUITS & VEGGIES: In addition to the legume garbanzo beans - an excellent source of fiber and protein - we have also added pumpkin, cranberries and blueberries to help your cat achieve a harmonious balance that is both healthy and delicious. We’ve also added garden greens to satisfy their green cravings. |

FEEDING GUIDE FOR KITTENS |
 Newly
weaned kittens can be offered Dick Van Patten's
Natural Balance® ALPHA™Dry Cat Food moistened
with warm water. You
can also mix in Natural Balance® Canned Cat Food for ease of feeding. Kittens
should be fed free choice to promote healthy growth and
adequate weight gain. Food intake requirement may vary
depending on age, activity, and environment, and should
be adjusted accordingly.
We recommend that you do not add vitamins, minerals or
any other supplements, except upon the advice of a veterinarian.
When switching your cat’s diet, the change should
be made gradually, by replacing the current food with
increasing portions of Dick Van Patten's ALPHA™ Dry Cat Food. The change should be completed after
5 to 7 days. The maintenance of proper body weight is
most important for your cat’s health. Consult your
veterinarian for specific weight recommendations for your

The
Adult Cat Adult cats should be fed either once or
twice per day. When you first start feeding Dick Van
Patten's Natural Balance® ALPHA™ Dry Cat Food, we suggest
to start with the amounts recommended in the Table.
Energy requirements vary with environmental conditions,
temperature and activity of your cat. The amount of
food should always be adjusted to suit your cat’s
needs. If you would like to provide a special treat
for your cat, you can add small amounts of Dick Van
Patten's Natural Balance® Canned Cat Food.
Gestating
and lactating Queens will consume more, usually
1/2 to 2 cups daily.
The
Older Cat As your cat begins to age, his energy
expenditure will decrease. Decreasing the amount of
food accordingly will allow for the maintenance of proper
body weight for less active cat. Older cats are sometimes
more reluctant to eat hard foods. Adding larger amounts
of Natural Balance® Canned Cat Food will make the most "finicky"
eater enjoy their daily meals |
