Our sweet Luna Belle developed a severe allergy to fish and shellfish over several years. Even foods that did not explicitly list fish as a protein ingredient still caused reactions — simply because fish oilsalmon oil were used as Omega-3 sources.

This experience revealed two major things:

• Pet food manufacturing has higher cross-contamination risks than human food facilities.
• The only way to completely eliminate allergens was to fully control her food ourselves.

This was the beginning of our homemade cat food journey — and ultimately, the foundation of Superior Feline.

Because of Luna Belle’s allergy, we needed a stable, effective, fish-free Omega-3.
With industry experience behind us, Chia Seed Oil became our safe and reliable alternative Omega-3 oil choice. And our cats enjoyed it — chia oil is virtually tasteless, which is a huge win for picky eaters.

Since Luna Belle’s passing, we have implemented fish oil back into the diet of our other cats. 

We still use both chia and fish oil interchangeably when making homemade cat food. The benefits of fish oil are undeniable and so is the attraction of the taste for many cats. This, of course, helps with their attraction to the homemade food.
