Store frozen and thaw 1 packet or 1 tub in the refrigerator prior to feeding, do not cook or microwave. The packets can be taken directly from the freezer and run under lukewarm water to thaw. Feed cat 2% to 4% of cat’s weight daily. Discard any food that is not consumed within an hour and clean serving dish and surfaces. Feed one to two meals daily or as advised by your veterinarian. Kittens can eat 4% to 10% of their body weight depending on age and activity level. Pregnant and nursing females can eat 2 to 3 times the normal adult amount, which can vary based on their litter size.
How much should I feed my adult cat?

Discard any food that has gotten warm and not eaten within an hour. Clean serving dish (we recommend stainless steel or glass) after each meal. Use soap and water to wash all surfaces that come in contact with raw food.
TRANSITIONING TO SAVAGE CAT FOOD
-
If your cat eats dry food start by putting your cat on a closed feeding schedule with their current food. This means your cat eats one or two meals a day and does not eat freely in between meals. Getting them in the habit of eating once or twice daily will help them recognize new food as food when transitioning. Depending on how strongly your cat is addicted to dry food, you can start to work in wet food over the course of one to four weeks. Start with as much as 90% dry food and 10% canned, working your way to a higher percentage of canned food over the next couple of weeks.
-
Once your cat is on a closed feeding schedule with canned food you can start working in raw food. Start with 25% raw and 75% canned, working your way towards more and more raw food. Fully thaw Savage Cat Food® to room temperature or slightly warmer under warm water, and serve a meal twice a day. Raw food has less scent than cooked so it may take a while for your cat to recognize it as food!
