Maximum Life cat kibble is 100% non-GMO and is formulated for your cat's maximum health that meets the nutritional levels established by the AAFCO cat food nutrient profiles for all life stages. Maximum Life contains all of the essential nutrients and amino acids, including taurine, L-carnitine, DL-methionine, L-lysine, and a vitamin B12 supplement and other important nutrients (see INGREDIENTS section for full list of ingredients). The main ingredients are oatmeal, whole dried peas, non-GMO soybean meal, and dried beet pulp. Oatmeal – a nutrient-rich, grain that provides essential vitamins, minerals, and fiber, supporting healthy digestion and steady energy levels for pets. It contains omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, promoting a shiny coat and healthy skin. Whole dried peas – Peas in general are an excellent source of carbohydrates, fibre, protein, and many essential vitamins and minerals. They provide most of the essential amino acids required by dogs and cats. Peas contain insoluble fibre, soluble fibre, and resistant starch, which benefit the digestive system. Soybean meal & soybean oil– high-quality protein with the complementary profile of amino acids and vitamins. Beet pulp – helps maintain a healthy digestive system by feeding beneficial gut bacteria, contributing to better nutrient absorption and overall well-being. Additionally, beet pulp is gentle on the stomach, making it suitable for pets with sensitive digestive systems. ADD WATER We strongly recommend adding water to dry kibble to increase your pet’s hydration. To prepare moist food from dry kibble: • Start by using a lower amount of dry food (than what is indicated above for your pet) • Add water 1:1 ratio (1 part kibble to 1 part water) • Let stand for 30-60 min Note: Check and brush your pet’s teeth regularly. FIRST-TIME FEEDING INSTRUCTIONS Introduce your pet to vegan pet food gradually. Option 1. When switching to Evolution Diet, gradually introduce it over a 1-week period (see diagram below). Option 2. Start by mixing 1 teaspoon of nutritional yeast or vegetable oil into each cup of Evolution Diet. Pets adapt to the Evolution Diet with no added flavor after 1-2 weeks. CAUTION: If the switch to vegan pet food is not done gradually, there is a small risk that pets may vomit or get diarrhea. NUTRITIONAL YEAST For picky pets, add some nutritional yeast (sold separately). Sprinkling nutritional yeast makes the food taste cheesy, a flavour pets love. For 1 cup of dry kibble, sprinkle ¼ of a teaspoon of nutritional yeast. STORAGE Store in an air-tight container after opening in a dark, cool place. The product is hydrophilic (attracts moisture), and if left in the open for an extended period, it can spoil prematurely.
