We believe every cat and dog deserves real, whole food, endless play, and all the scratches and we’re happy to announce that the Simple Food Project can offer all three come February 2020!
Dr. Bessent drew inspiration from the recipes she created for dogs and got to work.
She took quality ingredients and crafted a raw diet balanced for the carnivore kitty. Using freeze-drying technology, she made these real, whole food diets convenient for the everyday pet parent.
DEVELOPED BY A HOLISTIC VETERINARIAN
Dr. Bessent has over 30 years of experience in both traditional and holistic medicine. In her practice, Dr. Bessent saw time and time again that the patients who ate well, healed well. This just reaffirmed her belief in the power of whole food nutrition, solidifying the idea that all pets needed access to real, whole food diets.
Each recipe is purposefully BALANCED FOR THE CARNIVORE
Each recipe is purposefully BALANCED FOR THE CARNIVORE
High in skeletal & organ meats
80- 90% meat protein per recipe
Rich in omegas from wild-caught krill
1 : 1 Ratio of Omega 3 : Omega 6
Low carbohydrate from fresh fruits, seeds, and veggies
5% – 14% depending on the recipe
Every ingredient was picked with a purpose. They all serve an integral part in a carnivore’s diet. See our recipe breakdown below to show exactly what your kitty is getting in Simple Food.

Thoughtfully sourced in the US and to guarantee the absolute highest-quality food we made one special exception for Norway.
The Simple Food Project practices seasonally sustainable sourcing. We prefer to source as locally as possible, but we always make our sourcing decisions based on the quality of ingredients. Every ingredient comes from the US, but we made one exception for our wild-caught krill. We source that from Norway because it promises the absolute highest quality of ingredients in our recipes.
Freeze-dried pasteurized at a low temperature to preserve the nutrients in each ingredient.
Freeze-dried pasteurized at a low temperature to preserve the nutrients in each ingredient.
The more heat processes food goes through, the less nutrients that are left in that food. (Kibble, for instance, goes through 4 different cooking processes that reach 400º F).
To avoid that antiquated method of preparation, Dr. Bessent use some advanced spaceman technology to preserve all of the nutritional value of the ingredients in a shelf-stable form.
The process is so effective in fact, that according to the American Institute of Cancer Research, freeze-drying maintains around 97% of its vitamins and minerals.
Made in Wisconsin at our state-of-the-art GMP facility using the highest food safety standards.
Dr. Bessent owns and operates these facilities and thanks to (several) decades of experience, she’s designed procedures so that we’d have the utmost control over every step in the process.
Every ingredient, each production phase, the exact batch of food that you buy is logged for complete traceability because safety and quality always remain our top priorities.
Crafted in small batches to maintain the freshest food possible.
This isn’t meant to be a kitschy sell but rather another way we guarantee that quality and safety are at the forefront of our priorities. When food is produced in smaller quantities it allows for the freshest ingredients and a thoroughly vetted finished product before ever leaving our doors.
80-90% Meat Per Recipe. No Synthetic Vitamins Or Minerals. Made in Wisconsin.
No synthetic vitamins or minerals
(No, really. The vitamins and minerals only come from whole foods.)
No high-temperature cooking process that may decrease the nutritional value of the ingredients
No processed meat meals or rendered meals of any kind
No corn, soy, or wheat
No gluten, grains, or fillers
No artificial preservatives, flavors, or dyes
AHEM…
Cats are carnivores, why add fruits and veggies?Great question!
As true carnivores, cats would eat the digesta of their prey, getting all of the predigested nutrients from their prey’s latest meal, including phytonutrients with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
Each ingredient in every one of these recipes has its own function, its own benefit for kitties. Just look at what the carefully selected fruits and veggies offer.
No matter which recipe you choose the decision around how and what to feed pets is SIMPLE.
