Blue Buffslo often puts flaxseed in their products and flaxseed causes cyanide poisoning. Please see my post on this. Two other companies I found puts yucca in their products and it is listed on the poison pet hotline. See my post on this. Additionally my nutrition vet said to stay away from...

My nutrition veterinarian Dr. Lisa Weeth, DVM, DACVN said cheese was ok. I give my cat 1/8 of a piece of organici cheddar or organic jack cheese (hard cheeses) only 10 calories or a tiny half a thumbnail sized taste of cream cheese most days and she is fine. Loves it and so do I and I’m the...

I found two companies who added Yucca to their cat food. Yucca is.listed as a poison on the pet poison hotline What are these cat food companies doing?!!! Better check your ingredients list for your cat food!

Flaxseed is not recommended for people to eat by the National Food Agency in Sweden. I believe flaxseed oil is also banned in France So why are USA food manufacturers putting it in our cat food. It puts cyanide into the cat food. I sent cans of Lotus Just Juicy Rabbit to a lab who forwarded...

Want to clarify something I previously wrote: my nutrition veterinarian said the calcium phosphorus ratio should be not less than 1:1 and not more than 2:1 (more calcium than phosphorus).

I called them up and let them know. I’m still not finding a safe cat food! Unfortunately my cat is sensitive allergic to something in some of the Weruva product line. Still trying.

Here’s a new one Just was looking at the honest kitchen website and I cannot believe it. They put Yucca in some cat food. That’s poisonous for cats and dogs. See attached photo:

I was not impressed with KOHA. A lot has flaxseed or tricalcium phosphate or salt high in the list or kale or spinach. I don’t even think it is advised for people to eat too much kale or spinach great but not every day. Personally would not choose KOHA. Note: If a company lists a broth...

I’ll try to check out Nulo Medalseries, Koha and Freestyle but I think the Koha has the flaxseed in it and the Freestyle might still have a broth problem. Will try to get at it soon.

There is another problem in cat food that the regulators are not addressing and that is flaxseed. Flaxseed can cause cyanide to be in the food. If your cat is 10 lbs or less I would avoid it. I had cans of Lotus Just Juicy rabbit evaluated and the local lab sent them to a specialist food...

The other thing you have to look at is how high is the overall level of phosphorus. I like to get the dry matter basis percentage to be close to 1 or less than 1. Dr. Adam Eatroff recommended low phosphorus is the only thing that stabilizes the kidney from further damage so why not start low...

There are others but they have fish you wanted to avoid

I don’t think the low phosphorus chicken has any tricalcium or dicalcium phosphate in it. If you go in the Weruva website you can look at the ingredients in one area and can see things like the percent of phosphorus overall and the amount of calcium and phosphorus to see the ratio of them in a...

The other forms of phosphates might not be a problem. The L-Ascorbyl-2-Polyphosphate I think that it is vitamin C and my nutrition vet said not to worry about the vitamin one. I feed my cat Pure Cravings (Safe Catch) salmon and tuna and it has ferric phosphate in it but my nutrition vet was...

I have a more recent post on all this that clarify it so I’ll post it again ina couple reply’s here: Why phosphates can be bad for cats: I spoke to my veterinarian nutritionist Dr. Lisa Weeth DVM DACVN of Metropolitan Animal Specialty Hospital, Los Angeles, California. She initially advised...

Vaccine FVRCP risks - can cause kidney disease, kidney failure: scary research Here are a couple articles on risks for kidney failure/ disease related to FVRCP vaccines Low risks for indoor healthy cats not going to the vet -do they need FVRCP vaccines? If so which ones are safer? Adjuvant...

I woke up this morning and thought of something else my nutrition veterinarian said that I should clarify. It has to do with the percentage of phosphorus that is from tricalcium phosphate or dicalcium phosphate vs natural sources like ground up bone. If it only 30% from tricalcium or dicalcium...

I wish Royal Canin would remove it from their PR rabbit limited ingredient formula altogether. I chose Hills Dental treats over Royal Canin because it doesn’t have it in it.

I spoke to my veterinarian nutritionist Dr. Lisa Weeth DVM DACVN of Metropolitan Animal Specialty Hospital, Los Angeles, California. I will try to relay her advice. She initially advised me to stay away from cat foods that have Dicalcium or Tricalcium phosphates in them. I did some research...

Adorable!!!
