    Diabetes

    If your cat is diabetic he should only be getting the canned pate food. Any food with chunks or pieces has gravy on it which is high in carbs. We have one cat that has stones to the point he needed a pku. Our vet of course put him on the dry food for urinary issues and ALL of our boys loved it...
