One of my cats, Emmett, had been having loose stool off and on this month. He has have a few incidences of diarrhea and vomiting as well. The vet checked for parasites and he came up clean. My other cat, Zoe, suddenly had diarrhea and vomited today.
I tried giving Emmet the Applaws Chicken...
My cat was tested and is highly allergic to flax, milk , and soy. I already avoid soy, and never give the cats milk. Flax is in a ton of "good" foods - both canned and dry. He eats the Simply Nourish canned stews but all the cats eat the Simply Nourish dry - which has flax. As does Halo and...
I have been avoiding corn and wheat and soy in our cat foods. However, I am beginning to wonder if the sweet potatoes, potatoes, peas, cranberries, oatmeal, barley in the more natural brands aren't just troublesome. It seems like there are even more non-protien items in these.
I have used...
My cats get canned and dry food. One has just started throwing up with the dry (Purina Pro Plan Naturals) and I was thinking of doing a grain free dry.
Here's the ones I was looking at:
EVO Turkey & Chicken
Taste of the Wild
Fromm Grain Free Surf and Turf
My 1 1/2 male cat eats canned food in the AM. He is eating Tiki Cat chicken varieties. They are a bit pricey and I'd like to get something a little less expensive. I like that they are just meat, no grain or veggies.
I have always thought that Fancy Feast, Friskies and such were really bad...
What is worse in dry cat foods:
Ground corn
Corn gluten meal
Wheat flour
Wheat gluten
I know they are all not great, but I know that my cat doesn't digest peas well which eliminates many natural brands.
Any rec's for a dry cat food without fruits/veggies, peas, potatoes? The grain free thing doesn't work for my kitties. SD and RC won't work since they have rosemary extract as a preservative.
My cat seems to be sensitive to this. It is the one thing that is common among several dry foods I have given her. It seems to bring on skin rippling and/or diarrhea.
Last summer my cat came tearing into the house from the patio with her skin rippling on her back and chasing invisible bugs. Vet thought it could be feline hyperesthesia but didn't do anything for her. It went away in a few months.
This week it happened again. She is hanging out in my closet...
I just had my 17 yr old at the vet and were discussing food. She suggested not going the "grain-free" route. I know, this is not what is popular opinion but I have been having issues with the cats (have a 1y and a 6yr too) not liking the more natural foods (Natural Balance, Fromm, TOTW...
I have:
16 yr old male
6 yr old female (overweight)
1 yr old male
We used to feed Nutro Naturals about 4 years ago but stopped when the canned food scare occurred. Then we did Royal Canin which is ok, but for the $ it isn't so great. Everyone like the Purina One Natural but then it switched to...
Anyone used these sold @ Petsmart? It's cheaper than Getting a ton of Feliways for the house. Reviews said it makes the cats drool though?

Not another question about dry food
I have 2 16yr olds that are slowing losing weight as they age. A 3/4 yr old who is 17lbs, and a kitten who is just 3 months. We free feed but will need to change that to get the one to lose weight.
Any opinions, thoughts, concerns, etc about the following...
I have 3 cats and just got a new kitten. The kitten is stressing them out, jumping on them and such. I have a Feliway but it didnt seem to do anything. Plus it smelled like burning plastic (I am sending it back to manuf.)
Does the Bachs really work? I saw you can get the rescue remedy or...
My new male kitten is almost 12 weeks, we got him when he was 6 wks from my uncle's outdoor cat. I have a male 16 yrs, a female, 16 yrs, and a female 3 yrs.
The kitten is constantly jumping on the male cat. No matter how much Boris hisses, growls, swats the kitten won't let him be. The female...
While I do not have a real Maine Coon, Zoe has all the physical characteristics. She is always scarfing her food whole ( TOTW). I was looking at this food to make her chew it more and maybe eat less- she is overweight.
My 16 yr old is just home from the vet with fluids and antibiotic. Last winter he had 3 teeth removed. No one tooth seemed inflamed this time but he wasn't eating or drinking. They said he has old teeth and this will be a problem for us now on. He has lost 2 lbs since Nov.
I had started feeding...
Our other cats are:
Boris & Natasha who are 16/17 yrs old
Zoe is 3 yrs old
We are having a hard time picking a name for the new little boy. The hubby wants to name him Rocky or Squirrel to go along with Boris and Natasha. Or he likes Melvin for some reason?!
I liked Rex and Seth.
I dont want...
