"Whole-Health"™ Nutrition for your Cat

As a family-founded business, Eagle Pack® knows that your cat is an important member of your family. At Eagle Pack Pet Foods, we were the first to recognize that pets should be eating better and eating healthier. We were the first to select "Whole-Health"™ ingredients using a meat meal based, soy-free food and the first and only company to use "Wellness For Life"® Custom Supplements to further enhance the health of all cats of all breeds.
Our diets have been listed consistently in the Top Ten in "The Whole Cat Journal". We make our own food in our own USDA/APHIS inspected plants.

All Felines Have The Same Basic Needs, Regardless of Breed

Research, Worldwide

Our employees own a lot of cats, we work with a lot of catteries and individual cat owners. We scour worldwide research for the latest in peer reviewed nutrition articles. The cat's jaw and teeth arrangement and the cat's digestive and urinary tracts are all different from that of a dog. And yes, cats can be finicky eaters and for good reasons.

Kibble Size, Shape, Density, Texture and Taste

Dog's molars are designed more for grinding. A portion of the cats jaw is set more for shearing of meat, or taking small nibbling, shearing bites of cat kibble, which they can crunch. We have been working with cat owners for over 30 years. We know how to create kibble size, shape texture, and taste to appeal to all cats of all breeds. That is why it is so important to have a correctly designed kibble that is easy for cats to nibble.

Cats also have reduced salivary ability. To initiate palatability and digestion, all Eagle Pack diets have a special "pickle-like" ingredient that activates the taste buds and gets the saliva flowing and the digestion process started. Our Cranberry and Tomato Pomace also help. Cats prefer canned food at near body temperature, about 101.5 degree F.

Your cat's health...more important than kibble size and shape.

FUS/Crystals

Cats are subject to FUS, crystals that can cause urinary tract disease and pain. Our feline formulas are carefully designed to reduce or eliminate this problem through low magnesium and low ash, correct pH levels and high digestibility. The cat's owner can also play a major role in controlling this problem. Cats drink and store water differently from dogs. They store body water in highly concentrated urine. High concentrations can lead to crystal formation. In our work with cat owners, we find there are several ways to enhance water intake to reduce problems:
- Always keep fresh water readily available, 24 hours a day.
- Place food and water dishes several feet apart and feed and water in a quiet area.
- Place a second water dish close to your cat's favorite spot.
- Feed Eagle Pack canned cat food (to provide additional moisture content) for one of the meals.
- Leave dry kibble available at all times. Cats will nibble/feed between 10-20 times throughout the day and night. Eating over an extended time also allows for continuous water intake to balance the food intake.

Vomiting, Diarrhea and Digestive Tract Health

Books on feline health state that cats do not need added fiber in their diet. We disagree. We have worked with too many cat professionals for too many years. They owned cats that for years suffered with bloody diarrhea and vomiting. They had tried every diet and numerous vets, yet never found a solution. Once placed on one of our diets with Inulin and/or beet pulp, the problem resolved within days. This innovative and nutritionally advanced approach creates superior digestive tract health and the healthiest immune system possible.

Hairballs

This seldom occurs with Eagle Pack Diets. If your cat is especially prone to hairballs, feed our Hairball Control Formula. It beat the leading hairball formula 6 to 1.

Indoor Cats, Outdoor Cats and Muscle Tone

House cats that spend time outdoors still do not get much exercise. You see them slowly walking to a field on mouse patrol and sitting for hours, just waiting. Whether indoors or outdoors however, their muscles should still be toned and nutritionally supported. Our high levels of meat meals support superior muscle tone and elements of the blood and antibodies.

Joint Health

Our highly digestible protein provides collagen, a naturally occurring joint nutrient. Some formulas also have added Glucosamine.

Omega-Health®

All cats need balanced Omega 6:3 fatty acids in their diet for skin and hair coat health.

Taurine

Our meat meals assure taurine is included naturally.

Quality Control and Testing

All incoming ingredients are sampled and every batch of food is lab tested. All formulas meet AAFCO feed trial and/or Nutrient Profiles.. Members of our Breeder Advisory Council, using their personal pets, normally perform nutritional and palatability tests.

Selecting the Correct Diet For Your Cat

Generally, the younger or more active your cat, the higher the protein and fat levels should be. As your cat ages, is spayed or neutered, or gains weight, diet selection will change to diets with lower protein and fat levels.
Our "Whole-Health"™ ingredients and "Wellness For Life"® Custom Supplements guarantees that every diet we make provides optimum nutrition for every cat, regardless of breed. We have almost 20 years of feline experience behind every diet.
