ST. LOUIS - March 11, 2016 - PRLog -- TikiPets®, leader of gourmet whole foods for cats, announced today the launch of Tiki Cat® Born Carnivore, a baked dry food with more than 30% fresh meat.

Cats are obligate carnivores which means their nutritional needs can only be met through the consumption of animal-based diets.  Through the centuries, cats developed differently from other pet species, resulting in some unique characteristics and special nutritional needs.  The parts of their gastrointestinal system (stomach and colon) focused on processing vegetable matter are smaller and lack the salivary enzyme amylase so they have a limited ability to deal with carbohydrates.

'Dogs can convert plant proteins to energy but cats just can't.  Cats will literally starve if they don't get meat. Their liver and pancreas are not "built" to process high amounts of sugar from carbohydrates.  We chose to bake our food since this process allows us to include more fresh meat and less carbohydrates than you can in an extruded kibble", says Olivier Amice, CEO of Whitebridge Pet Brands, LLC.

Tiki Cat Born Carnivore is available through independent pet specialty retailers and comes in three flavors:  Fish Luau, Chicken Luau and a dual protein option, Chicken & Fish Luau.  Suggested retail prices range from $18.99 for the small bag to $49.99 for the large bag.

Consumer advertising and 9 oz. trial-size bags are part of a comprehensive launch plan.

"We will always recommend Tiki Cat® Gourmet Whole Food first because wet diets are the best choice for cats, but we know that most cat parents also feed dry foods.We believe Tiki Cat Born Carnivore offers the best dry nutrition with a combination of high protein/low carbohydrate recipes and a gentle baking process to preserve the integrity of our ingredients", says Amice.

Tiki Cat is owned by Whitebridge Pet Brands, LLC, an innovative pet food company that brings health and happiness to pets and pet parents with a range of minimally processed, natural and wholesome dog and cat foods and treats.
