Why 60% Meat Matters

How real, high-quality meat helps your pet thrive from the inside out.

As pet parents, we’re always wondering—am I feeding them right? Are they getting enough nutrients? Why does that other pet look so much healthier?

Often, the answer lies in just one ingredient: meat.

At CuddleBuds, we didn’t just add meat as a filler—we made it the foundation. Our meals are made with 60% meat, carefully selected and thoughtfully combined to fuel your pet’s body the way nature intended.

🐾 Why meat is a must (not a luxury)

Our dogs and cats may be part of the family—but they’re still biologically wired to thrive on animal protein. Meat isn’t a treat for them, it’s a daily dietary need.

That’s why CuddleBuds uses:

• Boneless muscle meat – for clean, lean protein to support strength and stamina
• Organ meats like heart and liver – naturally rich in protein, omega fatty acids, amino acids, iron, glucosamine, B-vitamins, taurine and fibre—a nutritional powerhouse that helps with immunity, joint health, energy levels, and even digestion

Compare that to many commercial pet foods that contain only 20–30% meat (often in the form of “meat meals” or by-products), and the difference becomes crystal clear.

🐟 For our feline friends: a fish-first formula

Cats are obligate carnivores, meaning they need meat—and specifically fish-based protein—to survive and thrive. That’s why our cat meals are made using a premium blend of Tuna, Tilapia, Mackerel, and Anchovies, offering:

• A wide spectrum of amino acids
• Naturally occurring omega-3s and 6s for skin and coat
• Easy-to-digest, lean protein
• A taste they genuinely love (watch for the bowl-licking!)

We also include salmon oil for an added boost of essential fatty acids that support heart, brain, and coat health.

🍃 And it’s not just about meat.

Every bowl of CuddleBuds includes thoughtfully selected superfoods to complement the protein and deliver full-spectrum nourishment:

• Pumpkin – for smooth digestion and gut support
• Pumpkin seeds – rich in zinc and antioxidants
• Flaxseeds – a plant-based omega-3 for anti-inflammatory support
• Turmeric – nature’s immunity booster
• Ashwagandha – for calming anxiety and supporting emotional wellness
• Only coconut oil – no palm oil or animal fats

It’s a whole-body approach to health—from the inside out.

💊 What about supplements?

Even with the best ingredients, whole foods can sometimes fall just short of “complete.” That’s why we carefully add multivitamin and mineral supplements to bridge any remaining nutritional gaps—nothing more, nothing less.

We keep it clean. We keep it intentional.
So your pet gets what they need, without the fluff.

💛 Real food = Real difference

With high-quality meat and bioavailable nutrients, the changes in your pet are often fast and joyful:

• More playfulness and energy
• Shinier coat and healthier skin
• Fewer stomach issues
• Stronger muscles and healthier joints
• Clear eyes, balanced weight, and happier moods

It’s not a gimmick—it’s just what happens when we feed our pets the way nature intended.

At CuddleBuds, we’re not just filling bowls—we’re fuelling better lives.

Because when we say we’re nurturing your fur babies for a lifetime of health and happiness, we mean it—one lovingly prepared meal at a time.
