Wild Freedom Adult Wild Hills - Duck is a high-protein, grain-free solution for UK adult cats requiring 70% meat-density from novel duck and poultry sources to support lean muscle maintenance, digestive health, and hypoallergenic nutrition. Premium UK pet nutrition crafted with clean label transparency and species-appropriate formulation, ideal for apartment-dwelling pets and outdoor explorers with food sensitivities.

Why British Adult Cats Thrive on This Formula

Your cat's body is designed to process meat, not grains. Wild Freedom Adult Wild Hills - Duck delivers 70% total meat content combining 41% fresh poultry with 10% duck protein. This dual-protein approach provides exceptional nutritional diversity whilst offering a hypoallergenic option for cats who may react to more common proteins like beef or fish.

Duck is a premium novel protein that British pet nutritionists recommend for cats with suspected food intolerances. The high inclusion of 41% fresh poultry ensures bioavailable amino acids that support lean muscle maintenance and provide the rich, savoury aroma that appeals to even the most discerning felines. Whether your cat is an active outdoor explorer or an apartment-dwelling companion, this grain-free formulation delivers sustained energy without the digestive challenges associated with grain-heavy diets.

The functional outcomes are remarkable: the 1,400mg/kg taurine supports cardiovascular health and vision, whilst omega-rich linseed (1.13%) promotes a lustrous coat and healthy skin. Wild herbs including chamomile, nettle, fennel, and blackberry leaves (0.1%) provide natural antioxidants and phytonutrients that support digestive health and immune function—mirroring the ancestral diet where wild cats consumed plant matter through their prey's stomach contents.

Feeding Recommendations

Monitor your cat's body condition and adjust portions accordingly. Always provide fresh drinking water.

Expert Advice & FAQ

Is Wild Freedom Wild Hills - Duck suitable for British Shorthairs?

Absolutely. British Shorthairs are prone to weight gain and benefit from high-protein, grain-free diets that support lean muscle mass whilst managing calorie intake. The 70% meat content provides exceptional satiety, reducing overeating tendencies common in this breed. Duck protein is also highly digestible and less likely to trigger food sensitivities, making it ideal for British Shorthairs with delicate digestive systems. The controlled calorie density (3,950 kcal/kg) allows for precise portion control to maintain optimal body condition.

How does this formula support gut health and digestive wellness?

Wild Freedom Wild Hills incorporates 2.5% yeast extract, which contains mannan-oligosaccharides (MOS) and beta-glucans. These functional ingredients support a healthy gut microbiome by promoting beneficial bacteria growth whilst inhibiting harmful pathogens. The wild herb blend—chamomile, nettle, fennel, and blackberry leaves (0.1%)—provides natural anti-inflammatory compounds and digestive enzymes that aid nutrient absorption and reduce gastrointestinal upset. Linseed (1.13%) contributes soluble fibre and omega-3 fatty acids, which support intestinal health and reduce inflammation.

Why choose duck as a novel protein for my cat?

Duck is classified as a "novel protein" because most commercial cat foods rely on chicken, beef, or fish. If your cat has developed sensitivities to these common proteins, duck offers a hypoallergenic alternative that's less likely to trigger adverse reactions. Duck is also rich in essential amino acids, B vitamins (particularly B12 and niacin), and minerals like iron and zinc. The 10% duck protein in Wild Hills, combined with 41% fresh poultry, creates a diverse amino acid profile that supports muscle maintenance, immune function, and overall vitality whilst minimising the risk of food intolerances.
