Hound and Gatos has long been on my list of recommended brands. This family owned Wisconsin based company’s commitment to creating species-appropriate diets for cats without cutting corners is truly impressive.

Food formulation philosophy

All Hound & Gatos diets use animal ingredients as main protein sources to mimic an ancestral diet. Their wet formulas are at least 98% meat.

98+% protein from animal sources

Real meat is always the #1 ingredient in their formulas. They never use plant proteins like peas, chickpeas or lentils, something many other manufacturers do to boost protein levels at lower cost.

Putting Hound and Gatos to the test

We received two of their formulas, chicken and liver, and gamebird poultry. The food comes in BPA-free cans and is a nice, moist paté.

Allegra and Ruby both loved the gamebird poultry – there wasn’t a single morsel left on their plates. They almost cleaned their plates with the chicken and liver, but weren’t quite as enthusiastic about it.

Hound and Gatos are doing everything right when it comes to making canned food. We like this brand so much that we’re giving it our coveted seal of approval.
