My cats are traveling with me a few hours away next week!
I didn't know something like this exists and I hope it works well. Original plan was using a small styrofoam cooler and some icepacks but I'm afraid it'll be too cold for the insulin or the fall out of the cooler.
I've been reading thru the articles on here and its a lot. A lot of the lists are not updated. Those of you with cats who have CKD what diets are they on? What do you look for in the analysis? What percentage of phos should the food be etc?
What do you mean by that? So Royal Canin Urinary SO is not a urinary food? Or purina rx urinary? I'm not sure I understand. So they were on a limited ingredient salmon diet I think the fish was better for their coat. I am always wondering about if I can just add what food to their diet and make...
We're starting to phase out and not recommend grain diets where I work but it may be mostly dogs. Grain free may cause heart disease. They said grain free is just a marketing thing especially to boutique shops.
Per the vet my cats are on a urinary diet. Wet and dry because the wet alone is expensive and I'm a bad cat owner. Anyways I'm not sure if its due to them getting older or the food as I'm noticing around the same time is their coat is not as soft. Its a bit rough like older 20yro cats. I'm not...
I'm so proud of my boy lmao. I was worried he didn't have enough room as the box is slightly shorter. Also thought he may accidentally pee outside the box. Look hes figuring it out!
Not sure where to post this. My cats have always used one cat litter box. I have tried a second litter box before but probably gave up too quickly. Well fast forward to now. My cats are on a new diet that has been making them potty more. I added another box today. How should I get them to use...
How do we even know that the protein source in their food is actually a good one tho and not like low grade McDonald's meat. Then again maybe it doesn't matter for cats. Nah it has to right lol
Same tho. I have taken nutrition courses and professors are dead against most rx diets. Its crazy how things are constantly changing for diets. One year its grain free is healthy next it could be harmful. Crazy.
The vets tell clients to do wet only(mine did) but a combo of dry and wet is cheaper and affordable to a lot of clients. Unfortunately thats just how it is. According to the vet yes sodium is in the diet to entice cats to drink more. Its not necessarily a bad thing for cats to be getting their...
Thank you for the information. I was always told a vet diet should not be long term by professors. I now work in the animal care field and have no idea what to believe anymore.
