#Natural Balance | Savannah's Paw Tracks

Transformed by My Diet #NaturalBalance #ad

HIYA!! SAVANNAH HERE!!!

Most of you know that I, Savannah, am a former adult shelter cat. I was surrendered by some humans to the county kill shelter after they trapped me. All they left was a note “STRAY”. Clearly, I had been living a bit of the ‘wild outdoor’ life but I do not recall for how long. I was FIVE years old, approximately, when I was dropped off.

This post is sponsored by Natural Balance and the BlogPaws® Pet Influencer NetworkTM. I am being compensated to help spread the word the word about Natural Balance available at PetSmart, but Savannah’s Paw Tracks only shares information we feel is relevant to our readers. Natural Balance and PetSmart are not responsible for the content of this article.

Now how, you are saying, does that bit of information connect to my #NaturalBalance in my title for this post? I have always longed to return to my ancestral diet of lots more protein than any grains.I am now about 9 years old and my ‘senior’ cat tummy has been struggling with all those fillers and grain other cat foods have in them. And then we learned about Natural Balance® Pet Foods commitment to helping us cats return to our ancestral diet to bring us into our prime of life even as seniors. I am gonna ROAR about their Wild Pursuit™ line of cat food, now available both online and in the stores of PetSmart®.

Last post (click here) I sent Plush Savannah to go shopping. This time I decided I needed to visit PetSmart® myself to view the Natural Balance® line of Wild Pursuit™ for cats. I know they have a reputation for creating Foods with Substance for Pets with Character™…and you all know I am LOADED with character; right???

Now this is an aisle I will visit many times to come

Some of you may not know, but Natural Balance adheres to the fact that EVERY cat has a unique personality worth celebrating. They produce premium quality food and back every single product with a Buy With Confidence guarantee. They have professional peeps involved in their food creation who have nutrition/veterinary degrees and they help human pawrents select the best products to address their companion animals specific needs. PAWSOME I say, totally PAWSOME!!

Now you are wondering how this ancestral diet has expanded both my, and TKS’s, personalities…have we REALLY found our WILD SIDE?? Natural Balance is suited for all life stages for us cats. So both TKS and I can share the wild spirit while we are eating a diet that promotes the healthiest life style for both of us, even though I am a senior and she is still just a ‘kid’. I don’t ever want to have to go back outside and live in the wild but I sure do enjoy having a healthy diet that makes me still feel wild!

Because I am eating with enthusiasm, what is nutritionally relevant, and akin to my ancestral diet, so many things are changing in my life; even as a NINE year old senior cat. I play more, do more zoomies and have much more confidence when I explore the corners, and cupboards, of my home. I totally luvluvluv doing zoomies all over our FIVE level town home…just like being in the mountains and WILD!

Now The Kid Sage, aka TKS, is trying valiantly to resemble the behavior of her wild side ancestors. She just sometimes forgets that they, like us domesticated felines, do need to have a catnap after devouring a high protein, grain free meal.

What?? I thought we were gonna ROOAAR…not nap!

And there you go, TKS does seem to have the ability to occasionally miss the point…sigh…still so much training she must go through. TKS and I decided we did not have to wait on Mom L to get to PetSmart for more of this pawsome food…so we set to order from PetSmart online! No thumbs required!!

Finally, we had our yummy healthy diet right there in front of us…but somehow Mom L forgot to complete the dinner service! What’s up with that Mom L? (click on photos to bigify and hover over photos to view complete captions…totally worth it)

So, like…is Mom L gonna dish this up or do I have to do it myself?

Same here Savvy; doesn’t she know we don’t have thumbs?

Finally, CHOW!

I encourage you all to visit a PetSmart near you, or visit them online, and check out all the available yummy flavors of Natural Balance’s Wild Pursuit Cat food . You will not regret it. You will be taking your cats back in time to their ancestral diet.

PAW PATS, SAVANNAH

HEAD BONKS, THE KID SAGE aka TKS

A Wildness Pursuit with #Natural Balance

HIYA! SAVANNAH HERE!!!

What a week this has been. I was using my iPad to paw through some of the cat food products in our local PetSmart® store, and one in particular caught my attention.

Natural Balance Pet Foods ® was showing cat food called Wild Pursuit™! I’m thinking this might take me back to my wild side!! The description talked about how we cats could now eat kibble and pate soft food that will take us back to our ancestral diet! Grain free formulas and lots of unique protein made me even hungrier.

Of course I meowed to Mom L immediately to get her moving right down to our PetSmart® store to fetch some home for me and The Kid Sage (TKS) to try. I was excited to know that this Wild Pursuit cat food was available at our local PetSmart and on PetSmart.com.

Her response shocked me!!

Mom L: Savvy, why don’t you come along with me so you can pick out just what you want? You know you have very picky particular taste and smell needs.
Savannah: Mom L, you actually suggest that I, MOI, ME, Savannah The Cat, accompany you outside to a store!! Nope, I am not doing that; I am just fine right here in my comfy castle. You can take Plush Savannah with you.
Mom L: Ok, if you are sure. I’ll just get her harness and leash. But don’t complain if she picks out something you don’t like.

So off to PetSmart® they went. Plush Savannah spotted the Natural Balance Pet Food® section right away.

Immediately Plush Savannah searched for just what she knew I was craving. I need something that is not only 100% grain free, but also has high protein; I am, after all, descended from real wild cats! Plush Savannah selected the Wild Pursuit products I told her about. After all, I may be older than TKS, but this food is for all ages and it is food with substance for pets with character! That’s ME!!!

There were two delish flavors, for both dry kibble and canned pate food. There was my favorite chicken, turkey and quail *smacks lips* and some with fish such as trout, salmon and tuna. The dry kibble even has freeze dried chunks of yummy meat…enough to make me and TKS return to our wild side and ROAR!!

Plush Savannah preferred the fish flavors, but Mom L made sure she brought home the chicken, turkey and quail for me. Now they were off to check out. (hover over photos to see what Plush Savannah thought about the check belt)

Yikes! this belt is moving Savvy’s food too fast!

Whew, caught up with it

Finally, Plush Savannah and Mom L returned. I had a good whiff of the kibble bag first and then I let TKS take a turn and checking out the kibble and the canned pate food.

Who is that blue cat?

One really great thing to know about Natural Balance is their Buy With Confidence guarantee. This assures us that every production run is tested for quality and safety. Now TKS get to check out the wildness in the Wild Pursuit.

I feel my WILD coming on!

I thought she was going to eat that bag before Mom L got it open for her to taste.

You can see she was using her sharp white toofies to break up her meaty kibble…she was really getting into to pursuing her wild TKS! She couldn’t even wait for the cans to be totally opened when she was able to take a whiff of their scrumptious high protein meaty aroma.

Can I tear into this now Mom L?

For myself, I found that the pate was of more interest as I can only eat prescription kibble. But unfortunately, I had already started my afternoon nap…so I wasn’t able to move from my nap spot to do much tasting.

Smells…zzzz…umm…meaty…zzzz

I do know for sure that TKS and I are feeling our ancestral diet has been taken into account by all the expert nutritionists who help formulate Natural Balance Pet Foods Wild Pursuit product. They know how to make a house cat leap back to our ancestors and really ROAR!!
