Like any species, cats need proper hydration on a daily basis to remain healthy. On average, cats need about four ounces of water per five pounds of body weight a day, but many cats don’t drink enough on their own. Here’s how you can help your cat combat drinking stubbornness and guarantee hydration.
The Benefits of Goat Milk for Cats
As we all know, cats love milk, but not every cat has an easy time digesting it. Unlike regular cow’s milk, goat milk has a low lactose concentration, making it easier for your cat to process. It’s naturally A2 and is rich in prebiotics that support “good” gut bacteria, helping your cat’s digestive system remain balanced.
Not only is goat milk a good way to support your cat’s digestive system, but it also helps hydrate them. Hydration is essential for your cat to maintain good health, but some cats are stubborn when it comes to drinking enough water. “Cats mostly don't like water. If your cat likes water, he's probably dehydrated, and you're probably feeding dry food,” Tracie Hochtner shared on the Cat Chat podcast with guest and Brutus Broth Co-founder Sue Delegan. That’s where goat milk comes in: containing approximately 87% water, goat milk is a convenient, protein-packed, and delicious way to entice your cat to stay hydrated.
Goat Milk by Brutus Bone Broth is unique because it is aseptically packaged, meaning it’s shelf-stable until you open it. After that, it’s easy to store in the refrigerator and can be used as a meal topper, an afternoon snack, or an ingredient in a fun recipe. It’s easy for you to store, and even easier for you to serve!
How To Serve Goat Milk by Brutus Bone Broth
- Pour over your cat’s food to make mealtime extra enticing
- Serve a snack-sized amount in a dish as a mid-day treat
- Freeze it into enrichment toys to help combat boredom
- Incorporate it into fun recipes
Salmon-Flavored Veggie Broth for Cats
Cats love milk, but they also love salmon. That’s why we created a salmon-flavored broth for pets that’s rich in DHAs and joint-supporting ingredients. As an all-natural, human-grade, plant-based broth, our Vegetable Broth works to support your cat’s health all around.
We sustainably source Omega-3, 6, and 9 from marine microalgae, which is the original source of the nutrients found in fish oil. Harvesting these Omegas from marine microalgae provides the same great benefits of fish oil, but without the nasty odor. These nutrients work to support your pet’s brain function and skin and coat health.
Our formula is plant-based, meaning it’s perfect for cats who have strict diets but love the taste of salmon. It mimics the taste of salmon and is safe for cats who have sensitivities or allergies. Our vegetable broth is designed to suit all cats, regardless of their size or stage of life.
How Is Vegetable Broth Packaged?
Our vegetable broth comes in three different formats, all of which contain the same powerful formula.
-
Minis
Minis come in a liquid format, meaning all you need to do to serve them is shake, pour, and restore! Our Minis come in a functional size, making them easy to store in your refrigerator once opened. -
Megapack
Megapacks are for the cats who are obsessed with Vegetable Broth. As a powdered version of our broth, Megapacks can be mixed with water to make up to 130 ounces of Vegetable Broth! For cats who like their food crunchy, Megapacks are the perfect fit because they can also be sprinkled dry on top of your cat’s food. -
On The Go
If you’re a weekend adventurer who is constantly taking your cat on journeys, Brutus On The Go is for you. Brutus On The Go is packaged in single-serve pouches that can be mixed with water to create delicious broth wherever you are. They’re the same dry format as our Megapack, but are better fitting for pet owners who are always on the move or just simply want to sample Brutus Bone Broth.
How To Serve Vegetable Broth
- Pour it on your cat’s food to encourage them to eat.
- Mix a little bit of vegetable broth with water to entice drinking.
- Freeze it in enrichment toys or fun molds.
- Serve vegetable broth in a small dish as a treat.
- Carry Brutus On The Go during your adventures, so your cat can have tasty nutrition wherever they may be.
How to Incorporate Brutus Bone Broth Products in Your Cat’s Diet
Both Vegetable Broth and Goat Milk by Brutus Bone Broth work to hydrate your cat. You can mix either product with water to make hydration more enticing. Or, if you’re feeling generous, why not mix both products together so your cat receives bone broth’s joint support and goat milk’s gut support?
Since Goat Milk by Brutus Bone Broth and Vegetable Broth work together to boost your cat’s overall health (and cats love them), we created a Cat Hydration Bundle that includes both products. By incorporating both into your cat’s diet, you will see the benefits firsthand and make mealtime and hydration more exciting.
Why Brutus Bone Broth?
When we first started our business, our goal was to help improve the lives and health of dogs everywhere. At Brutus Bone Broth, we care about functionality and flavor. We want our products to make a difference, but also taste good in the process. When we saw our broth changing dog lives in communities like yours, we began developing products that specifically catered to cats too. Even though all of our products are safe for cats, we wanted to create something cats absolutely love and make it easy on the pet parents who have cats and dogs. Our mascot may be a dog, but cats are a part of the family too, and we’re here to help both thrive.
