FAQ

Quiz & Product Recommendations

How does the quiz work?

Our short quiz (1minute) asks about your cat's age, weight, health goals, and any sensitivities. We then match your cat to the Optimeal wet food formula that fits them best. You can review and change the recommendation before you place any order.

Can I change the recommended product?

Yes. Right on the results page — before checkout — you can browse all Optimeal recipes and swap to whichever one you prefer. You're never locked into the quiz result.

Can I retake the quiz later?

You can retake the quiz as many times as you need before checkout! Afterward, you can always edit your recipes, delay your order, and change your meal plan size, and of course, cancel any time. For extra help, reach us at all hours at info@optimeal.com. We respond within 1 business day!

Trial Period

What is the trial and how does it work?

The trial gives you a starter pack of Optimeal at a lower price so your cat can try it before you commit. After14 days, your monthly subscription activates automatically and your first full box ships. You'll receive a reminder email a few days before the trial ends.

Can I skip the trial and subscribe directly?

The Trial period is an essential step in building your monthly subscription! You’ll be able to transition your cats to Optimeal and get a sense of which recipes they take to, versus some they may not enjoy. Then, before your subscription starts, you can tailor the order to exactly what your cats need to thrive. Plus—you get a free tote bag!

What happens if I don't cancel during the trial?

After 14 days your subscription activates and your card is charged for the first monthly order. You'll get a reminder before this happens. If you'd like to cancel, you can do so from your account at any point before the trial ends.

How do I cancel during the trial?

Log in, go toSubscription settings, and select Cancel — no phone calls, no forms. Cancel any time within the 14-day window and you will not be charged for a monthly subscription. You keep the trial pack.

About the Product

What kind of cat food is Optimeal?

Optimeal is complete and balanced wet food for cats, available in convenient single-serve pouches. All recipes meet AAFCO nutritional standards for a full everyday diet — not a treat or supplement. We currently focus on wet food; we don't offer dry food.

What sizes or formats do you offer?

All Optimeal products come in single-serve pouches. Each pouch is a complete meal designed for easy portioning and freshness. Exact pouch weight and servings per box are listed on each product packaging.

Is Optimeal suitable for cats with sensitive stomachs?

Several formulas are designed with limited ingredients and gentle proteins for cats with sensitivities. The quiz will surface the best match. If your cat has a diagnosed allergy or medical condition, we recommend consulting your vet before switching food.

How much should I feed my cat per day?

Great as a dry food topper or standalone meal. If fed alone, feed adult cats approximately 2 pouches per 5 lbs of body weight daily. Divide into 2 or more meals. Feeding amounts should be adjusted to your cat’s needs according to individual activity, age and environment. Ask your veterinarian if you are unsure. Serve at room temperature. After opening keep in fridge max 48 hours.* A feeding guide is printed on every pouch and available on each product cart.
