{"type":"root","children":[{"type":"paragraph","children":[{"type":"text","value":"Nooshi’s was built by pet parents who wanted better food for their own dogs and cats and could not find it locally. Everything we do starts with quality, transparency and long term health, not trends or shortcuts."}]},{"type":"paragraph","children":[{"type":"text","value":"We use 100% human-grade ingredients sourced from trusted suppliers. We never use 3D or 4D meat, by-products or rendered meals. Every protein, organ, bone, and whole food ingredient is included for a specific nutritional purpose and handled with the same care you would expect for food prepared in your own kitchen."}]},{"type":"paragraph","children":[{"type":"text","value":"Our recipes are made with real, identifiable ingredients you can see, not ground mystery blends. We do not use fillers, artificial preservatives, synthetic vitamin premixes, colors, flavors, or palatants. Nutrition comes from real food sources like muscle meat, organs, bones, and whole foods, not lab-made additives."}]},{"type":"paragraph","children":[{"type":"text","value":"Transparency is central to how we operate. We openly share our ingredients, sourcing, formulation philosophy, and production process. We also believe trust is built through real results, which is why we conduct long term feeding trials on our own dogs and cats and share those outcomes openly."}]},{"type":"paragraph","children":[{"type":"text","value":"At Nooshi’s, we do not believe in vague labels or marketing claims. We believe pet parents deserve to know exactly what they are feeding and why. We make the food we are proud to feed our own pets every single day."}]}]}
{"type":"root","children":[{"type":"paragraph","children":[{"type":"text","value":"We recommend transitioning gradually over 5 to 7 days."}]},{"type":"paragraph","children":[{"type":"text","value":"Start by feeding 25% Nooshi’s food mixed with 75% of your pet’s current food. Every 1 to 2 days, increase the amount of Nooshi’s while reducing the old food to 50%, then 75%, until the transition is complete."}]},{"type":"paragraph","children":[{"type":"text","value":"Even if your pet is already used to fresh food, we still recommend transitioning gradually to avoid digestive upset."}]},{"type":"paragraph","children":[{"type":"text","value":"If possible, begin with a protein your pet is already familiar with before introducing new proteins later. Some pets transition very smoothly, while others may experience mild digestive changes during the process, which is normal."}]},{"type":"paragraph","children":[{"type":"text","value":"A slow, gradual transition helps support digestion and minimizes stomach upset."}]}]}
{"type":"root","children":[{"type":"paragraph","children":[{"type":"text","value":"Cats are imprint eaters, which means they form strong preferences around food and routine. Because of this, it is completely normal for cats to reject new food at first, even if it is high quality."}]},{"type":"paragraph","children":[{"type":"text","value":"If your cat is having a hard time adjusting to Nooshi’s food, the tips below can help make the transition easier."}]},{"type":"paragraph","children":[{"type":"text","value":"Slower transition:","bold":true},{"type":"text","value":" For picky cats, a very slow transition works best. Start with a tiny amount of Nooshi’s food, about ¼ teaspoon, mixed thoroughly into their current food. Over the course of 2 to 3 weeks, slowly increase the amount while monitoring how your cat responds."}]},{"type":"paragraph","children":[{"type":"text","value":"If your cat is currently eating dry food, we recommend transitioning first to a canned wet food before moving to fresh food. This helps your cat adjust to higher moisture content, a softer texture, and a new feeding routine. Cats that are used to kibble often develop strong preferences for its texture and flavor enhancers, so this step helps ease the change without overwhelming their palate or digestive system."}]},{"type":"paragraph","children":[{"type":"text","value":"Set meal times: ","bold":true},{"type":"text","value":"Creating a consistent feeding routine is also important. Instead of free feeding, offer meals at set times each day. A predictable schedule helps regulate appetite and makes cats more receptive to new foods."}]},{"type":"paragraph","children":[{"type":"text","value":"Warm up the food:","bold":true},{"type":"text","value":" Fresh food served straight from the fridge can sometimes be too cold or less appealing. Let the food sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving to release its aroma. You can also place the sealed container in warm water and stir gently to bring it to a more appetizing temperature."}]},{"type":"paragraph","children":[{"type":"text","value":"Flavor boosters:","bold":true},{"type":"text","value":" To encourage interest, you can add a small topper such as a warm, low-sodium bone broth without onions or garlic, a pinch of nutritional yeast, or a tiny amount of sardines or tuna with no added salt. Cats are strongly drawn to smell, and these aromas often help spark curiosity."}]},{"type":"paragraph","children":[{"type":"text","value":"Enhance prey drive:","bold":true},{"type":"text","value":" Engaging your cat before mealtime can also help. A short play session using a feather wand or toy can stimulate their natural instincts and make them more interested in eating afterward. Serving food on a flat plate rather than a deep bowl may also feel more comfortable for some cats."}]},{"type":"paragraph","children":[{"type":"text","value":"Scent play:","bold":true},{"type":"text","value":" Cats are very sensitive to scent. Rubbing a small amount of the new food on their paws or whiskers allows them to explore the smell in a non-threatening way and can help build familiarity over time."}]},{"type":"paragraph","children":[{"type":"text","value":"Positive reinforcement:","bold":true},{"type":"text","value":" When your cat tries the new food, offer gentle affection or a favorite activity. Creating positive associations with mealtime helps build trust and acceptance at their own pace."}]}]}

After cooking, the food is rapidly snap frozen. This quick cooling process is important because it prevents the food from spending time in the temperature “danger zone,” which ranges roughly between 4°C and 60°C, where bacteria are most likely to multiply."}]},{"type":"paragraph","children":[{"type":"text","value":"By minimizing time in this danger zone, snap freezing helps maintain both safety and freshness. Frozen storage also slows microbial growth until the food is thawed and served."}]},{"type":"paragraph","children":[{"type":"text","value":"Combined with careful handling, controlled temperatures, and clean production practices, this multi-step process allows us to produce fresh food that is both safe, nutritious, and made under internationally recognized food safety management standards."}]}]}

{"type":"root","children":[{"type":"paragraph","children":[{"type":"text","value":"Yes but only when it is calculated correctly. Liver and other organ meats are used intentionally in Nooshi’s fresh food recipes to naturally provide essential vitamins and minerals, without relying on synthetic vitamin premixes."}]},{"type":"paragraph","children":[{"type":"text","value":"Organs such as liver are rich in nutrients like vitamin A, B vitamins, iron, and copper, which are important for overall health. The key is precision and proportion.

This is not what we use. The bone in Nooshi’s fresh food is very finely pulverized into a sand-like consistency before being incorporated into the recipe. This makes it completely safe, easily digestible, and free from the risks associated with whole bones."}]},{"type":"paragraph","children":[{"type":"text","value":"Using finely ground bone allows us to provide minerals in their natural, bioavailable form, the way animals are biologically designed to consume them, while ensuring precise and balanced nutrition in every meal."}]}]}
