VEGCAT PURE BITES Taurine Treats set a new standard in snack innovation for your cat offering health benefits to the heart and eyes with the addition of Taurine, as well as pioneering hypoallergenic fermentation protein - the very first of its kind!
PURE BITES contain 20% fermentation protein - a pioneering, resource-saving source of protein produced by the fermentation of microorganisms. With over 60% protein content, it offers maximum efficiency with minimum environmental impact - smart, sustainable and scientifically well thought out pure innovation!
The best bit? Cats just love the rich umami flavour of microbial fermentation (plus Pure Bites have the addition of catnip and brewer's yeast for added flavour that cat's crave!)
The recipe is hypoallergenic and therefore ideal for your cats with sensitivities. Since fermentation protein is a completely new type of bacterial protein, allergies and cross-reactivities are highly unlikely.
For comparison: The most common food allergens in cats include beef (18%), fish (17 %), dairy (20%) and chicken (5 %)* - all animal protein byproducts that are deliberately NOT used in the PURE BITES treats.
This results in a snack that is ideal for ALL cats
Without phosphorus additives of concern
Many conventional cat foods and treats rely on inorganic phosphates such as sodium hexametaphosphate or phosphoric acid - substances, which may increase palatability and acceptability with discerning cats, but can also cause scientifically documented kidney damage** and other health risks.
At VEGDOG, their vets and nutritionists deliberately avoid ALL inorganic phosphorus additives in their snacks.
A smart snack. For discerning gourmets.
