Fresh meat: an essential protein source
The defining feature of the Equilibre & Instinct range is that it is made with fresh meat, a vital source of protein.
We use butcher-grade meat, used within 2 to 3 days of slaughter, just like meat for human consumption. To keep the fat content low, we use lean cuts supplemented with offal like kidney, liver and heart.
The first benefit is, of course, the flavour—or rather, the natural scent that is part of the food.
But above all, using fresh meat allows for better protein absorption pound-for-pound. These fresh meat proteins are far better suited to the physiology of dogs and cats as carnivores.
Finally, a fresh meat diet is much more digestible for our pets, who often suffer from tummy troubles.
Using fresh meat isn't just a marketing gimmick; it’s a key factor in the quality nutrition that Equilibre & Instinct aims to provide.

Does no one here understand the concept of freedom of speech?!
I’ve never belittled or slated anyone for their opinions; it’s the lack of respect shown by some people that I won’t stand for!
Yes, cats are carnivores, but under NO circumstances should they eat just meat; yes, a BARF diet is still the best option.
Well, someone needs to learn how to read and respect others!
This kibble is made with fresh meat!
Honestly, it makes you wonder which of us is the one who can't read.
Here is the link showing the ingredients for that Equilibre & Instinct dry food:

I’d love to know where exactly it says "fresh meat". All I can see is "animal by-products" right at the top of the list! 🙄
Now, here are the ingredients for a brand like Nutrivet:

@Milleetunefleur, there is your answer if you’re truly looking for the best possible option for your cats.
The best thing for them is still a Raw Feeding diet.
Here is a link to an information sheet explaining it: http://www.barf.ch/barf/index.php/alimentation-crue/docs-a-telecharger/view.download/5/9 (it's a download)
Best wishes 😉
yeah, because food is a taboo subject here, and as a result, people like Sevv, myself etc. – and there aren’t many of us – get absolutely slated when we dare to say NO, cats and dogs are carnivores.
it’s because the big brands have had a monopoly for 25 years and loads of people believe them, because they’ve been feeding their pets this food for 25 years.
you can do whatever you like, but i’ve sent you some links so you can make up your own mind.
Fresh meat? Where exactly???
-> Poultry by-products (26%)
-> How is a cat supposed to digest them properly, given their inability to digest gluten and starch?
-> A few months ago you jumped down my throat because I had the misfortune of saying something like:
"the higher the ash content, the less desirable the meat is"
You laid into me, claiming that what I was saying was impossible.
And now you're agreeing with me on that point? How curious...
Mind you, I have a question for you: once you've finished your studies, will you come back and tell us which brand ended up sponsoring you!?
Same old story, it’s absolutely mental... cats are CARNIVORES... NOT OMNIVORES.
@Milleetunefleurs, have a read of these and you can make your own mind up.
