I'm currently not able to afford wet food for my kitties, even though I know wet food is usually better. I wanted to know if there are any GOOD dry cat foods out there, stuff with all the vitamins and stuff a kitty needs, and no corn fillers?
Also, whole live prey, do you mean letting them kill something?
Yes, you are one hundred percent correct.
I'm sorry if this is a dumb question, I've never heard of feeding something like that to a kitty.
It is NOT a dumb question, in my humble opinion. MOST people, DO NOT feed live prey. I feed my domestic and hybrids: Mice, Rats, Rabbits, Quail and seven day old chicks.
Hi SandCatWow, thank you all for all the suggestions! I'll give each on a looksee.
Also, whole live prey, do you mean letting them kill something? I'm sorry if this is a dumb question, I've never heard of feeding something like that to a kitty.
I feed, Evo,Turkey and Chicken Formula (http://www.naturapet.com/products/1441) to my foundation Savannahs and domestics. I used to feed, Orijen (http://orijen.ca/products/cat_kitten), but, it got too expensive. Another good one, is Epigen 90 (http://www.wysongepigen.net/epigen90.php) made
by Wysong. However, for me, the most economical choice, is to feed Evo dry along with whole live prey.
What livThe live prey, is given, twice daily, to each cat.
All of blues cat foods are chock full of carbs. Excess carbs is what causes diabetes in cats and carbs are everywhere in dry food in general. Age, lack of exercise, lack of controlled feedings add to it. Have your friend put the cat on a strict high protein low carb canned diet (if he won’t eat canned consider dr elseys dry. One of the lowest carb dry foods on the market), limit portions, and exercise her. I’m sure she’ll have better blood results next time.Has anyone had a problem with Blue Buffalo? My friend took her 10-yr old cat in for teeth cleaning, the pre-operative blood work showed pre-diabetes....whereas about 4 months ago, she was fine. My friend had switched her cat's dry food to Blue Buffalo. The Vet blamed the pre-diabetic blood work on the dry food. The cat does not eat wet food. The Vet also said that she has seen an increase in pre-diabetic diagnosis with cats eating Blue Buffalo. Has anyone heard of this?
