    thank you both! I figured most is up to discretion, and playing around a little. I figured out to cut smaller for now, and he was reeaallyy into it. Thank you guys for putting some stuff into perspective as reading lots of articles kind of gets overwhelming with all the information. You've...

    Update: So with the freeze dried bits (Instinct), which Skype is literally obsessed with, he lost interest with most canned food in general, including the Origin cans he was loving for a bit there. My fault in trying several diff things in a short time. He eats, but not as much. He also loves...

    Little Update; Skype is loving the little raw bites I'm throwing his way while cooking. Im not making any more changes until he's done with his meds, and fully off of his Purina. Actually he is now staring and meowing expectantly at me while I'm at the cutting board.

    this is awesome to know! I'm used to not giving any kind of bone to animals, as the tiny dog gets HELLA aggressive with bones to chew. I didn't even think of providing different bones for nutrition and others for chewing. Unfortunately I was already adjusting his food, when I had to get him some...

    Wow, thank you both so much! After looking at the ingredient lists, I ended up getting Orijen wet food for Skype since it had the most whole ingredients and no grains at petco. He liked it so much its making scheduled feeding a lot easier, even after a day. I even got some of the senior dry food...

    I did find grain-free. He gravitated towards it right away! I intended to use the freeze dried, as just treats, so I can get rid of the cold cuts issue. I didnt realize additives would be an issue/potential irritant and of course there were a few. I know if its replacing a meal it should be...

    Thanks for the insight! as the one with the dietary issues in my family, I was hoping to not have to do the same with my cat :ohwell: Silly me I just went out and bought a few different brands of more Whole Foods for Skype to try and see what he likes best. Looking for high protein and less...

    Hi guys, Im a first time cat owner and have had Skype (the cat) for about 6 months now. He just passed his first hairball today (that ive seen, he is about 9 months old), which was a fun surprise as ive only ever had dogs. He also had some 💩diarrhea that kind of looks like bile. I know hairballs...
