There’s nothing more enjoyable than a work of art – something you have created with your own hands. It’s from you, not mass-produced. It is a part of you.

Whether it be a painting or a gourmet meal, it is carefully planned and slowly executed. It starts with the basics, the foundation, and you build on it, one step, one brush stroke, one ingredient at a time. We ponder what color, what shade, what spice, what will make it stand out and be a winner, something others will want to replicate. We don’t just throw it together. We invest a whole lot of time into making it the best it can be.

While our feline family may not be thrilled with our latest masterpiece, they get pretty excited about breakfast and dinner. And we want their dinner to be special, meaningful, and carefully crafted.

Through a brand new product, Hill’s Science Diet has found a way for us to share a work of artfully created food that rivals our works of art.

Hill’s® Ideal Balance™ Crafted™ is made in small batches with natural ingredients, perfectly balance nutrition. What’s better is that it has:

• No wheat, corn or soy
• No artificial colors, flavors or preservatives
• Is available in grain-free varieties
• And it’s made right here in the USA!

A team of highly trained veterinary nutritionists have carefully planned ultimate in Nutrition for your pet in a way that you would if you were putting together a knockout meal at home for them on your own stove and oven.

Not only does Hill’s® Ideal Balance™ Crafted™ use a well-crafted style with a slower, small batch process to ensure quality and consistency, they uses the same ingredients you would see in high-end, healthy human foods, including proteins from animal sources: trout, salmon, tuna, roasted beef and chicken.

Their cat food is not just cat food, The Ideal Balance Crafted cat products are being made in an innovative way through an unusual slow cooking process with new, unique and custom shapes to maximize appeal for finicky felines. This innovation is the result of many years of Hill’s research into the importance of texture and shape when it comes to palatability for cats. Other high-end ingredients include whole –ancient grains including, quinoa, buckwheat and vegetables like sweet potatoes, barley and peas.

Paws’ mouth is watering, just thinking about all these delectable ingredients.

Food trends constantly evolve, reflecting our growing awareness that what and how we eat affects our health and the environment. More and more Americans are choosing foods with an eye to nutrition, natural and locally sourced ingredients. We want to know what we are eating is good for us and good for our pets who have become a part of our families.

Hill’s knows this and is very excited to launch their first product line that is made in small batches, with authentic ingredients, while promising the 100% balanced nutrition which you can always rely on with Hill’s products. Here at Paws for Reflection, we are excited too, as our kitty family has found the Crafted line to be very yummy and healthy too.

You can find out first hand. The new Hill’s® Ideal Balance™ Crafted™ products for cats and dogs are available at pet specialty retailers, Amazon and other online outlets. The cat product line (dry and wet food as well as special treats) are on shelves in PetSmart and will be available at Petco in June. And as always, if the kitties don’t like it, you can get your money back. There’s a 100% nutrition guarantee, or your money back.
