Organix Feline formula made by Castor and Pollux seems to be a high quality cat food. I have become so disgusted with low quality pet food companies that I have begun to make my own pet food at home. Even so, I still like buying a commercial dry food to supplement with because it is so convenient. Organix feline formula is the result of searching for a better cat food. I found it at Whole Foods Market for $15.99 for a 6 lb. Bag. The bag is beige, black and orange. The logo says, “Castor & Pollux-Paw Made-We make stuff we like.” It is made with organic chicken, brown rice and flax.
On side of bag it reads:
As part of your family, your cat deserves the very best food available. And with Organix feline formula with organic ingredients, we’ve gone the extra step above any other cat food. This unique product qualifies under the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National organic program as made with organic ingredients, meaning at least 70% of the content is organic.
All six of my cats love this food. I have one that is extremely picky, and he immediately started eating it as if it were the most delicious food in the world. I feel good about feeding this food to them, as I know it is nutritious. Suppliers for the meat and grain ingredients are required to be organic certified. Most of the cheaper suppliers used by many of the main pet food companies, would not be up to standard for Organix feline formula.
It says, “What does that mean to you and your cat? You can trust that the organic ingredients used in Organix meet or exceed strict state and federal regulations at every phase of production from the farm to the bowl. As part of the organic certification process, each and every ingredient in Organix is reviewed and approved for inclusion. Our manufacturing facility, the plant milling our organic grains, the poultry farm supplying our organic free-range chicken, the farmers growing our organic grains-all must be certified organic. This certification process is rigorous and demanding but is our commitment to you to provide a very special product for your favorite feline.”
The first ingredient in this food is organic chicken. No meat by-products like you will find in most pet foods. Compare to Meow Mix, where the first ingredient is corn. This food is a little more expensive, but definitely worth the price.
Side label goes on to say, “Our organic ingredients have no pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, antibiotics, growth hormones, bio-engineering, or by-products. The use of organic ingredients also enhances environmental quality because farmers and ranchers producing organic food use renewable resources and management techniques to help sustain our environment.”
I wholeheartedly recommend this food to everyone. Your cat will love it, and it will be healthy food to eat!
