I  think the canned Spot's Stew has garlic; it's pretty low on the list but still no reason to put a potentially harmful ingredient in cat food at all.  I was disappointed as I had read good reviews as well.  I'm sure it's fine to give her once in a while but I would avoid it in quantity. And...

Unfortunately pet food companies do not always know not to add those toxic ingredients - I have seen garlic and avocado in canned cat foods. Just found the Wild Calling in PetSuppliesPlus & bought some but we haven't tried it yet.  Another for the list would be Evangers - I have not looked at...

I mainly feed this - sometimes PetSuppliesPlus has better sales than Petco; also if you go to their website you can get coupons.  I tried some Wysong Epigen 90 (only 8% carbs which is the main thing I look for as well as being fish-free) which is around $10/2 lbs. (you can get a discount on your...

I just found this thread as well.  Beware marketing terms, lol!  Most "Weight loss" dry food makes cats gain weight because it is higher carb - the fats aren't as important as carbs in determining weight gain or loss.  In *general* wet food is lower carb than dry (one of many reasons wet is...

Many online sites have discounts for your first order - I got 25% off at Wag.com and saw 15-20% off at OnlyNaturalPet.com.  Google pet store coupon code or natural cat food coupon code.  There's FatWallet which gives you a percent back on purchases from certain stores; they do 4.5% for...

I'm so, so sorry for your loss!  It's soooo hard to watch them suffer, especially to see them not eat!  I recently went through this before we lost an 18-year old to kidney disease in early December.  Her disease progressed faster than the vet expected; then again, our vet prescribes a...

Wow that's young.  Well hopefully that'll help him recover better! :)  New vet sounds good.  Sent a prayer!

Try Pill Pockets (vet or pet store) or a moist treat to see if you can hide the pill in that; some have success with cheese.  If it doesn't have a strong odor and is ok to crush (did vet say?), mix in with wet food.  If he won't eat at all & you have to "pill" him, try to hold his mouth open...

Please do not ever let your cat miss more than 1 day of meals, especially if they are overweight at all!  They can get a very serious liver-related disease (hepatic lipidosis).  I would also advise against mixing wet and dry food if it is to be left out for any period of time (dry food is very...

I'd say do another weight check in about 2 months and see if she is stable - as others said the switch to all wet (which is lower carb & higher protein) could account for some weight loss.  Unless she continues to lose weight, don't worry & stick w/what you're doing. I would be happy to mail...

Great thread!  My husband & I call that 'having a stuck', as in, "I need to pee/get up/go to bed/etc., but I have a stuck." ... I know all the vet employees by name. Everything else I can think of has already been posted!

So sorry!  I've lived with cats all my life, and the year I turned 40 I developed allergies to cats and dust mites!  Currently I take Singulair at night (doesn't cause drowsiness & helps me breathe while surrounded by dust mites, lol) as well as a natural remedy called Allermax - the main...

Actually the Wellness CORE Grain-free Turkey/Duck flavor does not. 

Thanks - printed!!

That converter I linked doesn't do DMB, though, it does ME which is a different scale. Also just a note that the EVO has fish meal and many suggest limiting fish to a couple meals per week.

You can also give chicken broth as long as it's low-sodium (check labels or make your own).

Could you tell us where on the Wellness website the coupon is?  I poked around a bit & didn't see anything....

Thanks.  She was just diagnosed in the summer & the first couple months she was on dry prescription food only; who's to say if we would've had any longer if I'd fed her differently.  But, forward from here with the rest!   Yes we only have one now, but...

California Natural has a grain-free dry, I don't know about canned.  As 'trendy' as grain-free is, if it doesn't say it, it probably isn't.  With canned you also need to beware of carrageenan and too much fish (often used even if not the main protein).  Do you know if the vet specifically wanted...

I love it!  I had never heard of a cat doing that with food until our Fiona started doing it with cans she doesn't like!!  I think it's hilarious.  She's been dubbed a 'girly-girl' anyway & that just totally fits w/her personality. One thing to keep in mind with Instinct - the dog and cat...
