Functional food products for improving soft stools in cats

For its functional cat food designed to address soft stool issues, the core technical team at ROOT PAW’s manufacturing facility has engaged in in-depth research and discussions with agricultural university professors. Their collaboration focused on core aspects including feline intestinal regulation, probiotic-infused cat food for soft stool prevention, and fermented formulations in cat food—ultimately leading to targeted solutions.

Starting with optimizing the raw material ratio of the cat food:

It adopts a grain-free, low-allergen formula to provide comprehensive care for cats;

Over 90% of its protein is derived from high-quality animal sources, such as tuna, salmon, chicken, beef, and Antarctic krill;

It uses enzymatically hydrolyzed small-molecule protein—a form that is far easier for cats to digest and absorb.

Multiple strategies are employed to address hairball concerns:

Leveraging biological enzymatic hydrolysis technology to break down hairballs: Since cat fur is primarily composed of keratin, the product specifically incorporates keratinase from Novus International. This ingredient effectively breaks down hair in the gastrointestinal tract, easing the digestive burden on cats’ intestines;

Cellulose and dietary fiber are added to boost intestinal peristalsis;

Probiotics are included to regulate intestinal flora balance and enhance gut health, with a concentration of over 1 billion CFU per 100 grams (≥10 billion CFU/kg);

The prebiotic fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) is added to boost probiotic growth and speed up hairball elimination.

Building on these innovations, ROOT PAW has launched a cat food positioned as a solution with three core benefits: "30-Day Soft Stool Improvement Cycle for Cats", "Relief for Cats with Sensitive Stomachs", and "Low-Allergen & Highly Digestible". This product delivers both immune support and nutritional care for cats’ intestinal health.

To fundamentally address cats' soft stool problems, the primary approach lies in using low-allergen, high-digestibility staple cat food. When combined with proper feeding practices, this approach effectively reduces recurrent soft stools and safeguards cats' long-term intestinal health.
