Feeding Instructions

1. Scoop and serve!
2. If desired, add 1-part warm water; allow to soak.

KITTENS: Follow the adult cat guidelines

ADULT CATS: Feed once daily though your cat may graze as cats have the inherent tendency to do so. Cats tend to drink wherever water is available, so we advise keeping a few drinking stations. If your cat is a picky eater (like most cats!), add a small portion of Very Berry for Cats into your cat's outgoing diet.

NOTES: Adjust feeding according to age, activity, metabolism, and body type. Keep fresh, clean water available at all times.

Our foods are balanced according to traditional raw food diets that use natural and organic whole food ingredients to promote optimal health in cats.  We unapologetically believe that a diet consisting of biologically appropriate, organic whole food ingredients leads to a glowing quality of health that cannot be achieved through the supplementation of synthetic vitamins and minerals.

Reviews

Cats love the taste

"Used to buy the old recipe of Very Berry Cats. Although the recipe change for better nutrition I’m a bit concerned about the pork in the recipe now as it can cause obesity in cats. I guess I’ll just have to feed less of Smack & mix more of other brands to balance."

Q&A

Is there ground bone for the calcium?
Hi Rhyan, thank you for your question! As Smack is formulated based off of holistic raw food diets, all of our recipes will contain bones. In addition to calcium, bones will also contain various essential minerals like phosphorus, magnesium, and potassium!
Hello! The company used to sell a bigger bag more than the 3.3 pounds, Do you still make the bigger bags? I’m from the United States New Jersey, And my cats love your food.
Hi Luna, our food for cats comes in bags of 210 or 250 grams (about 2-2.5 cups) and larger, 1.5kg bags which have 15 cups worth of food!
Hi. What is the best before date on your cat food, if I was to buy it directly from you, rather than a retailer? I have noticed that in several of the stores, there is quite a short best before date. Thanks
Hi Carol, thank you for your message! We hand-craft food from our facility in Winnipeg, Manitoba, daily. Due to the low moisture level in our recipes, a Best Before date of 18 months after the production date will be stamped on each bag that leaves our facility.

Frequently asked questions

What is Very Berry for Cats made with?

Very Berry for Cats is made with a high-protein base of Manitoba chicken and wild-caught salmon, along with nutrient-rich pork organs, herring, and rockfish. Smack lists the formula as approximately 90% Manitoba chicken and wild-caught salmon combined with 10% certified organic, GMO-free fruits, vegetables, and supporting ingredients. This creates a meat-forward, nutrient-dense cat food with added superfoods for balanced nutrition.

Which berries are included in Very Berry for Cats?

The recipe includes a blend of cranberries, blackberries, strawberries, and blueberries. These berries are selected for their natural antioxidant content and help define the “Very Berry” profile of the formula. They also distinguish it from Smack’s fish-only or single-protein cat recipes by adding a fruit-forward nutritional layer.

Is Very Berry for Cats complete for all life stages?

Yes. Smack states that Very Berry for Cats is formulated to meet AAFCO Cat Food Nutrient Profiles for all life stages, meaning it is suitable for kittens, adult cats, and seniors when fed appropriately. This ensures it provides complete and balanced nutrition, including essential nutrients like protein, fat, vitamins, and minerals needed throughout different stages of life.

What is the calorie content of Very Berry for Cats?

Very Berry for Cats is a calorie-dense recipe, listed at approximately 4500 kcal/kg and 450 kcal/cup according to Smack. Because of this energy-rich profile, portion control is important, especially for indoor or less active cats.

Is Very Berry for Cats grain-free?

Yes. Smack clearly states that Very Berry for Cats is a grain-free cat food with no grains, gluten, fillers, corn, soy, or synthetic ingredients. This clean-label formulation is designed for pet owners seeking minimally processed nutrition or avoiding common grain-based carbohydrates.

What sizes are available for Very Berry for cats?

Very Berry for Cats is typically available in 8.8 oz/250 g and 3.3 lb/1.5 kg bag sizes on the U.S. product page. Smaller sizes are ideal for first-time trials or rotation feeding, while larger bags are more suitable for regular long-term feeding. Availability may vary depending on region and stock.

Can Very Berry for Cats be softened before serving?

Yes. Smack feeding instructions allow Very Berry for Cats to be served dry or softened by adding warm water and letting it soak. This helps improve texture and aroma, making it easier for kittens, senior cats, or picky eaters to consume comfortably.

Is Very Berry for Cats a high protein cat food?

Yes. Very Berry for Cats is a high-protein cat food made with Manitoba chicken, wild-caught salmon, pork organs, herring, and rockfish. These animal-based ingredients provide essential amino acids that support muscle development, energy levels, and overall feline health.

Which berries are safe for cats?

Cats can safely eat certain berries in small, controlled amounts, including blueberries, strawberries, blackberries, and cranberries. These berries are non-toxic and can provide antioxidants and fiber. Smack incorporates these same berries into its Very Berry for Cats recipe alongside high-quality animal proteins to create a balanced and species-appropriate formula.
