Quick answer: KOOKUT is a natural pet food brand founded in 2018 in the Swiss Alps with the philosophy 'Simple, Delicious, Natural'. It focuses on grain-free dry food (1.5kg, about HK$255 to $270) and 100% natural wet canned food: 70g complementary cans for cats with protein about 19% to 20% at about HK$15; 150g cat and dog shared cans with protein about 12% to 17%, moisture 81% to 85% at about HK$21. The entire range excludes GMOs, carrageenan, artificial colours and preservatives. Note that most cans are 'complementary food' and need to be fed with dry food.

KOOKUT is a pet food brand that takes the 'clean formula' route: Swiss-developed, grain-free dry food, 100% natural wet canned food, with short and transparent ingredient lists, claiming 100% human-grade ingredients.
Direct answer to 'Is KOOKUT good?': Its biggest selling point is a simple formula—grain-free, GMO-free, carrageenan-free, no artificial colours, flavours or preservatives. Cans can reach 19% to 20% protein and up to 85% moisture, appealing to owners who want to avoid thickeners and additives. But remember most cans are 'complementary food' and cannot replace complete food.
Where does KOOKUT come from? What makes Swiss-developed natural food special?
KOOKUT was founded in 2018 in the Swiss Alps. The brand philosophy is written as 'Simply, Deliciously, Natural'—simple, delicious, natural—aiming to mimic animals' eating habits in nature, selecting local European farm ingredients.
Its 'five no' standards are the most practical identifying points:
- GMO Free
- Carrageenan Free
- No artificial colours
- No artificial flavours
- No preservatives
It also claims to use 100% human-grade ingredients. For sensitive stomachs or owners who want to avoid additives, this ingredient structure is easier to accept.
How many KOOKUT dry foods are there? How to choose between kitten and adult cat?
| Product | Main protein source | Size | Approx. price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Natural Grain-Free Kitten Food Chicken & Turkey | Chicken, turkey | 1.5kg | HK$258 |
| Natural Grain-Free Adult Cat Food Chicken & Duck | Chicken, duck | 1.5kg | HK$255 |
| Natural Grain-Free Adult Cat Food Salmon & White Fish | Salmon, white fish | 1.5kg | HK$270 |
The dry food range is entirely grain-free, with no corn, wheat or soy, suitable for grain-sensitive cats. The kitten formula has higher protein and energy density, designed for growth; for adults there are chicken & duck and salmon & white fish lines, the latter providing Omega fatty acids from fish. Official feeding recommendations should be adjusted according to the precise data on the back of the pack; kittens and pregnant queens need extra amounts.
What is the difference between KOOKUT 70g and 150g cans?
This is the most frequently asked question about KOOKUT. The answer is 'cat vs cat and dog shared' plus 'protein level':
| Product | Main ingredients | Crude protein | Fat | Moisture | Approx. price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pacific Tuna & Alaskan Salmon 150g | Tuna 55%, salmon 5%, rice 1% | 17% | 0.6% | 81% | HK$21 |
| Pacific Tuna, Sardine & Vegetables 150g | Tuna 28%, sardine 17%, carrot, pumpkin, rice | 12% | 0.8% | 83% | HK$21 |
| Free-Range Chicken & Duck 150g | Chicken 55%, duck 5%, rice 1% | 17% | 0.8% | 81% | HK$21 |
| Free-Range Chicken, Chicken Liver & Courgette 150g | Chicken, chicken liver 5%, courgette 10% | 14% | — | 85% | HK$21 |
| Pacific Tuna & Seaweed 70g | Tuna 75%, rice 1% | 20% | 1% | 76% | HK$15 |
| Free-Range Chicken & Shrimp 70g | Free-range chicken 54.8%, shrimp 20.5%, rice 1% | 19% | 0.1% | — | HK$15 |
| Pacific Tuna & Green-Lipped Mussel 70g | Tuna, green-lipped mussel | High protein | — | — | HK$15 |
The 70g range is complementary cans for cats, with noticeably higher protein (19% to 20%) and meat content up to over 75%, suitable for cats needing high-protein supplementation, often used as treats or rewards. The 150g range is positioned as cat and dog shared, with protein 12% to 17%, all fats below 1%, moisture 81% to 85%, allowing households with both cats and dogs to simplify management.
Regarding carbohydrate sources, most KOOKUT products add only about 1% rice as a basic energy source; some 150g recipes also add carrot, pumpkin, green peas and kale for natural fibre. Fat control is another highlight—the 150g range has fat below 1%, and the 70g Free-Range Chicken & Shrimp is as low as 0.1%, suitable for pets needing strict fat control.
What does 'complementary food' mean? Why can't it be a staple?
The 'Complementary food' on the can label is not decorative. It means the can focuses on providing a high proportion of single or few high-quality proteins and moisture, but does not include all daily essential vitamins and minerals.
In other words:
- It can increase water intake—moisture 76% to 85%, helping cats that naturally drink little
- It can improve palatability—mix into dry food as a topper, even picky cats accept it easily
- It cannot be fed alone long-term—otherwise calcium-phosphorus ratio and trace elements will be unbalanced
The official recommendation is to feed KOOKUT cans together with complete dry food or complete wet food for balance.
How much KOOKUT to feed per day?
| Pet weight | KOOKUT dry food | KOOKUT wet canned food (150g can) |
|---|---|---|
| 2kg to 3kg | 30g to 45g | 0.5 can |
| 3kg to 5kg | 45g to 65g | 0.5 to 1 can |
| 5kg to 7kg | 65g to 85g | 1 to 1.5 cans |
| Over 7kg | Add 10g per extra 1kg | Over 1.5 cans |
Note: Feeding amounts for kittens and pregnant queens should be increased according to their physiological state and adjusted with reference to the precise data on the back of the pack.
What to note about transitioning and storage?
Transition steps (7 to 10 days)
- Days 1-2: 25% KOOKUT mixed with 75% old food
- Days 3-4: 50% mixed with 50%
- Days 5-6: 75% KOOKUT mixed with 25% old food
- From day 7: fully switch to KOOKUT
Storage
- Dry food—store below 25°C in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight; seal after opening and consume within 2 months
- Cans—unopened cans can be stored in a cool place at room temperature; after opening, transfer to a sealed container and refrigerate at 4°C or below, consume within 24 to 48 hours
- Feeding temperature—wet food taken from the fridge should be brought to room temperature first to reduce digestive irritation
Which cats and dogs are suitable for KOOKUT?
Worth considering:
- Cats sensitive to grains or wanting to switch to grain-free
- Cats that drink little and need high-moisture wet food for hydration
- Pets needing fat control or during weight management
- Households with both cats and dogs wanting to simplify shopping
- Owners wanting to avoid carrageenan and artificial additives
Take note:
- Cans are complementary food; do not feed alone long-term, must pair with complete food
- Pets with a history of kidney or urinary tract issues should consult a veterinarian before changing diet
- Switching from low to high protein (e.g., to 70g high-protein cans) may cause soft stool initially; mix slowly
- After opening, there is no preservative protection; refrigeration time should not be extended
