Recommended Use:
Our recipes specify the amount of supplement needed for that recipe. You can increase or decrease the amount of food you prepare by proportionally increasing or decreasing all ingredients in the recipe. Your cat’s weight determines how much they eat, and our recipes are properly balanced to meet the nutritional needs of a cat of any weight. The supplement is best mixed with prepared warm food, but it can also be added during the cooking process.

”Feed your cat freshly prepared food for superior health. Use ingredients you trust without using animal products.”

While cats are carnivores, their nutritional needs can be met by a properly supplemented plant-based diet. The Vegecat ™ supplement provides the nutrients cats need from non-animal sources, including taurine, vegan vitamin D3, preformed vitamin A, and a building block of L-carnitine (methionine). Vegecat ™ recipes are carefully formulated to provide lysine (the other building block of L-carnitine), sufficient protein, essential fatty acids in the correct ratio, and everything else needed for a healthy cat. We do not recommend altering recipes without consulting a pet nutrition expert.

All recipes include nutritional yeast. We highly recommend using our VegeYeast, a brewer’s yeast modified for acidity. If your cat is allergic to yeast, Vegecat ™ is now yeast-free. Instead of nutritional yeast in recipes, you may add a 50 mg B-complex vitamin twice a week.

The ideal urine pH for a cat is 6.0 to 6.5. The pH of the urine can be tested at home or by a veterinarian. Wet food is best for cats’ urinary health. If you primarily feed dry kibble, it’s best to add moisture to the diet. Pureed vegetables add moisture and extra vitamins and minerals. Vegetables should make up no more than 10% of the diet to ensure protein needs are met. See the recipe instructions for more information.

The Vegecat ™ recipe booklet accompanies the Vegecat ™ supplement, and recipes are available online. Be sure to read the introductory section of the recipe booklet before preparing meals.

You can also find wonderful recipes in Dr. Pitcairn’s Complete Guide to Natural Health for Dogs & Cats (4th edition). Since the volume of the Vegecat ™ supplement has changed since the first printing of the book, portion size adjustments are necessary. See this web page for adjusted amounts, or simply add the supplement daily according to what is on the package.
