"My cat Dasha was on a vet diet as he'd had a UTI and I wasn't sure what to feed him to get him off that food long term. I've slowly transitioned him to this food and he loves it and has no issues at all. I feed the freeze dried food to him with lots of water and it helps ensure he's hydrated.

He's bouncing around the house and seems super healthy and happy and I much prefer to give him this real food than the highly processed diet food." - Gabby Shaw

"I have 5 cats and have tried pretty much every brand of freeze dried food.

All my cats love it and the fact it softens so quickly in water, it is convenient to feed on its own or mixed with raw meat. It is rare to find a food that all 5 will eat. It is a quality and I will certainly be a repeat customer." - Gillian Harris

"Nimbus has quite the discerning palate and turns her nose up on any new food … Except for Frontier Pets!

She loved it right away and now she’ll head butt, paw my legs and roar at me while I prepare her food because she just can’t get it fast enough. She licks her bowl clean every single time with Frontier!" - Brooke Wynn

"We first heard about frontier pet food in 2020 and we thought freeze dried food was too expensive for us.

But soon we realised Frontier Pets is actually much more reasonable than the freeze-dried food selling in the shops. And now they even have cat food available! Finally, no need to feel guilty about feeding my dog the best food."- Constance Lam

Frequently Asked Questions

What Are the Common Causes of Constipation in Cats?

Constipation in cats can be caused by a variety of factors, including dehydration, lack of dietary fibre, obesity, or underlying health conditions like kidney disease or arthritis. Cats that don’t drink enough water or eat a diet low in moisture may also be at higher risk. Stress, hairballs, or an inactive lifestyle can contribute to constipation as well.

If your cat shows signs of constipation, such as straining in the litter box or infrequent bowel movements, consult your vet to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment.

How Can I Prevent Constipation in My Cat?

To prevent constipation, ensure your cat stays hydrated by providing fresh water at all times. Incorporating wet or freeze-dried food, like Frontier Pets cat food, which can be rehydrated, adds moisture to their diet and supports digestive health. A diet rich in high-quality proteins and balanced nutrients can help regulate bowel movements.

Additionally, encourage regular exercise and grooming to reduce hairballs, and consider adding fibre or vet-recommended supplements if needed. Always consult your vet before making dietary changes for your cat.

When Should I Be Concerned About My Cat’s Constipation?

Occasional constipation can be normal, but persistent or severe cases require veterinary attention. Signs to watch for include straining without passing stool, loss of appetite, lethargy, or vomiting. Chronic constipation could indicate an underlying issue like megacolon, dehydration, or a gastrointestinal problem.

If your cat shows any of these symptoms, contact your vet immediately to prevent further complications and ensure proper care. A tailored diet and hydration plan, such as incorporating freeze-dried food with added moisture, may be part of the recommended solution.
