Northwest Naturals makes a green-lippedmussel treat. Since it’s a shellfish, she might not react the same way she does to fish. Mussels are high in omega 3s. I’ve never tried the treats, but I do feed Northwest Naturals freeze-dried raw for their regular meals.
Krill oil, also a shellfish...
Hi - try removing the green lipped mussel, I've read that it can be an issue for some cats, even if it's been a while.
Would this help at all?

The Ziwi Peak air dried (beef) that I ordered arrived yesterday and unfortunately it is a hard "NO!" for my cats so far. I think because the texture is so different from dry they won't even try it.
I was wondering about the green lipped mussel vs fish allergies. The air dried contains GLM...
I did at one time cook meat and add ezcomplete and put it in a container. My fridge is tiny so I stopped doing it. Plus I have no way to get to a store
@lisahe – thanks so much for taking the time to share info with me. I was about to place an order for some more new foods and I’m glad I read this first, because I may need to reconsider some of them. You have obviously done a lot of trial and error on ingredients and I’m glad to be able to...
You're always so great at replying, thank you!
That's good to know, GLM was going to be the next thing I was going to test eliminating!
I actually just found AHMVA for some holistic vets.
Yes it is the feline natural food that I was referring to, too. I have not tried it yet but it is arriving today so we’ll see how that goes. The ingredients overall look quite good. I know some peoples cats don’t do well with the mussels, which it also contains, but I’ve never fed my cats...
Thanks for the reply. You mentioned “flaxseed flakes” and that is an ingredient in Feline Natural that I am disappointed about. I recently started feeding FN and other than that ingredient, I was feeling pretty good about the food. FN has a discussion about it on their website that raves about...
Okay, a few more things!
Feline Natural is very decent food. We used to feed both raw and canned. This was pre-pandemic, so some years ago, and I don't remember if it had GLM then or not. I also don't remember particulars about bone but seem to recall that they didn't provide much information...
Hi Stephanietx,
I am so sorry you are going through this... :alright:
Not knowing how to help your feline best friend can be so disheartening and frustrating, and constantly cleaning up messes around the house is exhausting. What's important is that you are doing your best for him, and that's...
I have the same problem with my cat and fish oils. Although, she will eat an occasional piece of various human fish, she won't touch canned fish foods nor fish oils. I have kind of given up. I won't opt for flax oil for the following reason.
Fish oil contains eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and...
This is a good start. It's much easier to choose if you already know what causes the symptoms, but if you don't, then the simplest possible recipes can help you sort out (or maybe even avoid) whatever triggers the cat.
Sheba pates are pretty decent food without a lot of extra ingredients. Our...

Oh, believe me. I appreciate any and all advice. (Lecturing never even entered my mind).
Unfortunately, Lillie isn't treat motivated. The closest she gets to that is when we put coconut oil on a Nylabone, but while in the car she doesn't care for anything at all.
A while back we got her...
On riding in the car, does she really like treats? If so, you could use that to your advantage. :)
My girl has stranger danger too, she isn't aggressive at all but she barks...and barks...and barks. She's very loud, and it's embarrassing and annoying. It's a challenge but I'm seeing...
Hi there! Wow - good on you and Ozzy! (Sorry for your broken leg.) Did he have all the usual 'geriatric' testing (full blood panel - CBC and Super Chem, as well as a urinalysis)? It may or may not be helpful to have full body x-rays to see what level of arthritis he may have. Matted hair is...
@LadyLondonderry, Sylvie is so much like our cats, though I hope ours never get to the point that they can't eat any chicken. 🤞🤞 I don't know what I'd feed them. I'm glad Sylvie's on the mend after the infections. And I'm glad she'll eat the Merrick food: Ireland doesn't like it but (as with...
Nope, the vet only said there is no indication of parasites or kidney disease and assumed it was due to raw of course. I have yet to find a vet that has actual knowledge of a raw diet...
