Hound and Gatos have long been on my list of recommended brands. This family owned Wisconsin based company’s commitment to creating species-appropriate diets for cats without cutting corners is truly impressive.
Food formulation philosophy
All Hound & Gatos diets use animal ingredients as main protein sources to mimic an ancestral diet. Their wet formulas are at least 98% meat.
98+% protein from animal sources
Real meat is always the #1 ingredient in their formulas. They never use plant proteins like peas, chickpeas, or lentils, something many other manufacturers do to boost protein levels at lower cost.

- No meals, no beans, no peas, no chickpeas, white potatoes, corn or soy
- No highly processed meat, poultry, or fish meals
- Limited ingredient, grain free recipes
- No controversial grains

Feeding your cat a high-quality diet is important for keeping them healthy and happy. But it goes beyond the food you choose; the dishes they use also matter. The Hepper NomNom Cat Bowl is our favorite for its unique, five-star design that protects from whisker fatigue and promotes good posture which also aids in better digestion. As an added bonus, it’s beautifully crafted and offers a modern take on the traditional cat bowl that fits seamlessly with all home stylings. Learn more about the NomNom by clicking here. At Catster, we’ve admired Hepper for many years and decided to take a controlling ownership interest so that we could benefit from the outstanding designs of this cool cat company!
With 12 different flavors, many of them single protein, there’s something for every kitty’s palate.
Putting Hound and Gatos to the test
We received two of their formulas, chicken and liver, and gamebird poultry. The food comes in BPA-free cans and is a nice, moist paté.
Allegra and Ruby both loved the gamebird poultry – there wasn’t a single morsel left on their plates. They almost cleaned their plates with the chicken and liver, but weren’t quite as enthusiastic about it.
Hound and Gatos are doing everything right when it comes to making canned food. We like this brand so much that we’re giving it our coveted seal of approval.
