Crafted with 95% turkey including muscle meat, organs, and ground bone, these satisfying bite-sized puffs provide more protein per bite than traditional kibble while leaving behind the artificial preservatives, fillers, and questionable ingredients found in conventional dry cat food. For cats who crave the crunch and convenience of dry food but deserve whole-animal nutrition, Puffy Other Bird is the answer — and for cats with chicken sensitivities, it's the perfect novel protein solution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike heavily processed kibble made at high temperatures that degrade nutrients, Smalls Freeze-Dried Puffy Other Bird is fully cooked and then gently freeze-dried to lock in natural vitamins, minerals, and amino acids in their most bioavailable form. Turkey is a lean, nutrient-dense protein that is lower in fat than chicken while remaining high in taurine, B vitamins, and essential amino acids. Combined with turkey organs and bone, each puff delivers complete, biologically appropriate nutrition that mirrors what cats evolved to eat. With low carbohydrates from antioxidant-rich cranberries and blueberries, and no grains, soy, or artificial anything, this formula truly earns the label of premium cat food\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e95% single-source turkey protein — muscle meat, organs, and ground bone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFreeze-dried to preserve nutrients — no high-heat processing that destroys vitamins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFully cooked, then gently dried for safety and shelf stability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNovel protein — ideal for cats with chicken allergies or sensitivities\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHuman-grade ingredients from USDA-certified facilities\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo artificial preservatives, flavors, or colors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo corn, wheat, soy, or grain fillers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinimal carbohydrates — only cranberries and blueberries\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComplete and balanced for all life stages (kittens, adults, seniors)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLean protein profile — lower in fat than chicken, great for weight management\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBite-sized pieces compatible with automatic feeders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVersatile: serve dry, rehydrated, as topper, or as treats\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree sizes: 3oz, 8oz, 14oz for every household need\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in New York, USA by Smalls since 2017\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIdeal For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCats with chicken allergies or poultry sensitivities requiring a novel protein.
