WHO’S IT FOR?

ESSENTIAL the PANTHER is a complete grain-free meal for cats, tailor-made for three unique lifestyles and stages. Please read on, the PANTHER might be just what you and your cat are
looking for to unlock life’s fullest potential. And that’s exactly what we’re trying to do here at ESSENTIALS for each and every one we proudly get to serve our meals to.

01: Sterilised/Neutered Cats

Our “the PANTHER” recipe has been developed with the aim of helping to maintain an optimal urine pH range to support urinary tract health. This is especially important once the cat has been sterilised. Being sterilised may also lead to an increased appetite and/or a changed metabolism, which, if not addressed, can lead to the cat becoming overweight. The PANTHER is made with these situations in mind. Always consult a
vet if your cat suffers from recurring urinary issues.

02: Indoor/Inactive/Weight-loss

Being an indoor kind of a cat is not necessarily synonymous with weight issues. Far from it. But if a low-activity lifestyle does result in putting on extra weight, or there is a need for a weight-loss diet, the PANTHER is our solution for you. The PANTHER is lower fat than the JAGUAR and contains ingredients aimed at an optimal life, including beet pulp and cellulose to support the reduction of hairballs.

03: Older/Senior Cats (7+ years)

As the years advance, some nutritional requirements start to change. As a rule of thumb, we highly recommend that you keep serving our incredibly popular the JAGUAR right up to the point in life when your cat appears to be gaining excess weight. The PANTHER ensures that fewer calories are consumed, and the added L-Carnitine helps the digestion of fats and supports this transition to a more sedentary lifestyle.

Regardless of the lifestyle led by your cat and the stage of life it is at, he or she will enjoy the fact that each and every kibble is made from an abundance of delicious seafood. The PANTHER is everything you would expect from ESSENTIALS.

BOF - A NUTRITIONAL SENSATION

Behavioural Optimising Foods (BOF) is a principle that heralds the many benefits of keeping blood sugar stable throughout the day. At ESSENTIAL FOODS, we’ve achieved this with our life-changing, test-winning meals that ensure blood sugar levels remain stable. Compared to other brands, our meals offer an exceptionally high nutritional value thanks to our high content of fresh protein sources and the low temperature they are cooked at. The results achieved with BOF are quite outstanding.

A few words on the wonders of Páté

Our cuts of chicken in a thick, savoury gravy provide an exceptionally delicious meal. If you haven’t seen it for yourself yet, just wait for your cat’s first taste and you’ll know what we’re talking about. Besides its many qualities in taste and texture, it offers a range of nutritional benefits by virtue of its high water content. We won’t bore you with the evolutionary background of it or list all of the many benefits, but we will allow ourselves to mention just a few of them in order to open
your eyes to some of the many wonders of this dish.
1/ It offers superior nutrient absorption as the nutrients are delivered in ‘wet form’.
2/ It goes down effortlessly, easing the intestinal workload for gentle digestibility.
3/ Thanks to the high water content, it naturally helps your cat stay hydrated. It’s ideal for those
with a tendency to forget to drink enough water throughout the day.
4/ This is a type of food that is suitable for all stages of life, including those where you have few or no teeth.
5/ It can be prepared more gently, at a lower temperature, preserving both texture and nutrients.
6/ Our wet meals are low in starch, rich in meat and cooked at a lower temperature, making them
more than BOF-approved with the aim of keeping your cat’s blood sugar levels stable.
