Great for Cats prone to UTI
Baxter
My 8 yr male cat had a bladder blockage and two UTIs- he is on a high moisture raw food diet, but still needs more fluids. He won't drink plain water, broths, or goat milk, so I had to figure something out fast! I read about a cat owner giving her cats Beech Nut beef & beef broth because this brand doesn't add any flavoring or seasonings. I give him 1 teaspoon of food plus 2 tablespoons of purified water before each meal (morning and evening). His lab markers for hydration the past year are great! He used to have the Turkey & Turkey broth- but a test showed he's allergic to turkey. I am so grateful that Beech Nut has this product! It is a game changer!

good
mister kitty
our cat has allergies to most things they put in cat food, beechnut is what it says it is. Gerber adds lemon to there baby food which is toxic to cats. Our cat loves the beef flavor the best

Well loved by my mice
I offer my mice a variety of foods including a sort of milkshake made with baby food. The chicken, beef, and peach are their favorites.

What is in the beef broth? list all ingredients
Looking for answers
I just bought this since Ferber is out of stock, yet it inly lists 2 ingredients beef snd beef broth. This is misleading because the beef broth can include any ingredients they want. Seems like illegal labeling in my opinion.
Response from Beech-Nut®:
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We will be sure to pass this feedback along to our team. If you have any further questions, feel free to call us at 800-233-2468 or email us at [email protected] Thanks!

Save my cats life!
808Vee808
Our beloved super senior 19 year old was recently diagnosed with hyperthyroidism a little over a month ago. The veterinarian recommended euthanasia. I “told them” give me an appetite stimulant. I was determined that this was not a death sentence. Elderly humans live long lives with chronic disease. Why can’t cats. I began offering half a teaspoon as not to waste. Then fed a tablespoon every two hours. While doing this teaching myself about proper nutrition for cats. We changed the overall diet to raw with pre-mix for a complete meal and now use this baby food for snacks “with HT medication dose” and giving probiotics. What a life saver this product has been!!!

No additives!
A FAE
I started using meat baby food for sick cats because if they won't eat anything they will eat meat baby food. I have been giving my Bengal Cat Beef and it is his favorite treat. That "other" company now puts corn starch and lemon juice in theirs so I can not/will not buy that one again. BEECH-NUT IS THE VERY BEST!

My cat loves it!
Jennay
My cat got diagnosed with IBD the poor baby. I had to think quick and ditch the kibble with the help of a group who is dealing with the same thing. I was recommended baby food for him and omg he LOVES it. I will make it a balanced diet. He has a lot of gi issues and I was told that this is very easy for them to digest. Wow. Why do they even bother making that trash cat commercial kibble. Y'all cat owners should just buy this and balance the meat or get them on raw asap! My cat is MY BABY.

Cats Love It!
hikerbecky
Believe it or not but my 2 cats get this as one of their bed time snacks and love it. It's all protein and no onions or any other flavorings in it, they get their taurine in their other foods. I can barely get this on their plate before it's gone!

Didn't pass the Grammy test
MaeveJoi
I've been feeding my 6 mo granddaughter for several months now including baby cereal, jarred fruits & veggies & table foods such as mashed potatoes. I love Beechnut still uses GLASS jars just like they did when my now 28 & 26 yo kids had as babies. My granddaughter has eaten EVERYTHING I've given her so far EXCEPT THIS PRODUCT. I was turned off by the product myself as soon as I opened the jar. Looked & smelled like potted meat. But I'm of the you MUST try it twice crew - must try at least 2 bites of everything & then if you don't like it you don't have to eat it. This is the 1st jarred meat baby food we've tried with her so I was looking forward to sending her down another food pathway. So I gather everything, get her sat in her feeding chair, open the jar and dig into the jar to get her 1st bite. The look on her face was "Uuuggghhh don't like that" & spit it out. Doing the scoop it up put back in mouth until she ate it. So I give her a 2nd bite & she IMMEDIATELY SPIT IT OUT & refused to open her mouth again. Strike 1 for meat foods. Tomorrow I'm going to try either chicken or turkey with broth. Hopefully she will eat 1 of them. By the way I taste everything I feed her & I would NOT eat the beef & beef broth baby food either.

composition, types, benefits and harms
Meat is a necessary part of the diet during the transition of a child to independent nutrition, it is a source of all types of amino acids necessary for the body of a small person. Industrially produced are various meat and mixed purees, packaged in jars of 80-100 g of the product.
Application
The National Infant Nutrition Optimization Program recommends introducing mashed meats at the sixth month for formula fed babies and at the eighth month for those who are fully breastfed. Before this, it is desirable that the child has already gained experience in eating fruit and vegetable purees, as well as baby cereals.
Meat should be introduced into complementary foods, gradually increasing the portion from 20 g at the beginning of complementary foods to 50-70 g by the beginning of the second year of a child's life.
There are three stages of introduction of complementary foods:
- 6-7 months. Homogenized products with a particle size of 0.3 mm.
- 7-8 months Puree products. The particle size is 1.5 mm.
- 9-12 months Coarse products. Particle size up to 3 mm. May contain spices.
Advantages and disadvantages of canned meat puree
Meat puree for complementary foods can be prepared by parents themselves. However, this solution has both advantages and significant disadvantages:
Advantages:
- control over the cooking process;
- Guaranteed free of dyes and preservatives;
- the child receiving a freshly prepared meal;
- the ability to choose a combination of meat and side dishes individually, based on the needs and taste preferences of the baby.
Disadvantages:
- shelf life of the finished product is short - no more than 1 day. in the refrigerator, as a result of which you should not take it with you if you need a long trip;
- if you have to buy meat, you can buy a product obtained with the help of growth stimulants, or simply of poor quality.
Naturally, the choice of a ready-made canned product cannot be called an ideal solution. This option also has a set of both advantages and disadvantages:
Advantages:
- raw materials and manufacturing techniques are subject to state control;
- finished product can be stored for a long time;
- convenient packing and packing;
- the degree of grinding is selected in accordance with the needs of the child, and not “by eye”;
- vitamins and mineral complexes are added to the product.
Disadvantages:
- the need to trust the control of cooking to someone from outside;
- high price compared to self-made puree.
Recommendations for choosing canned meat puree
It should be remembered that canned baby foods should be a finely ground homogeneous mass with a pronounced taste and smell characteristic of this type of product.
The presence of foreign taste is unacceptable, except when the composition includes carrots or liver. Then a slight natural bitterness is acceptable. During storage, flaking of fat and liquid, a light-colored precipitate may appear.
Meat and meat-and-vegetable purees are included in the line of their products by many manufacturers of baby food.
Popular brands of canned meat for children
- Agusha. Russia - Parents' rating: four with a minus. The presence of starch in the composition and the thick consistency are questionable. The tin can is difficult to open.
- Tyoma. Russia - Parental rating: four with a minus. It contains chicken fat, cereals, milk powder, and therefore less actual meat. Salt is also present in the composition and it is better to give such purees to children older than 10 months. The packaging is similar to "Agusha", with the same complaints.
- Grandma's basket. Russia - Parental rating: five. The manufacturer uses rice flour instead of starch. A wide range of products including deli meats such as venison. Convenient packaging in glass jars. Recommended for children over 8 months old.
- FrutoNyanya, Russia - Parent rating: four. Tight consistency due to the presence of a large amount of cornstarch.
- Heinz, Italy - Parent rating: five. Instead of starch, cornmeal is used. The manufacturer declares the absence of milk and salt. Delicious meats are present among the products. However, this manufacturer, at a comparable, or even higher price, contains 20 g less mashed potatoes in a jar.
Warning
Children with allergies should avoid industrial canned meat for children.
