    She Always Wants More!

    As other's mentioned that isn't enough, I would recommend you feed her 1/2 cup of dry at night instead of 1/4. At the shelter I volunteered at we recommended for foster and shelter cats to eat 1/4 can wet (5.5oz) and 1/4 cup dry AM and PM, and that was enough for healthy cats to keep a good...

    Does The Perfect High Protein Low Carb Dry Cat Food Exist?

    Oh no, I hope my girls will like it. My problem is one cat will only eat dry food, we've tried to transition her to wet food many times but she refuses. :( I used to feed her Acana Prairie and she liked it but it had too many calories in it (gained too much weight), so I switched to Kirkland...

    Freeze-dried?

    Stella & Chewy's bag says after you re-hydrate the food it should be removed after 2 hours, so I'm guessing yes as Raw Food you need to remove after 30 minutes.

    Freeze-dried?

    I have tried Stella and Chewy's Freeze Dried as well as Primal. Our one cat who likes raw and wet food will eat it. We also had a sample of The Honest Kitchen Turkey, which I think is Dehydrated and she sniffed it and walked away. Wouldn't eat it even when offered on a different day. I think...

    Diahorrea/mucus/possible Ibd - And Not Much Help From The Vet!

    This was in regards to when they have diarrhea. In my year in the shelter system, when cats have diarrhea and we remove wet food generally the diarrhea stops. Overall, yes, wet food is WAY better then dry food, but not when they are having loose stools. Once the problem is diagnosed I would...

    My Raw Food Adventure

    Thank you :) We unfortunately had to take her to the vet yesterday as she had gotten worse, good thing we did as she had a fever and was dehydrated. After subq fluids, blood work, injections for fever, infection and appetite stimulant she came home with her usually appetite. The vet was...

    Diahorrea/mucus/possible Ibd - And Not Much Help From The Vet!

    I have lots of experience with this through the shelter I volunteered at, so here is what we did that generally helped: Whenever any cat starts having loose stools you should stop giving any wet food. Wet food generally leads to looser stools. I did see you tried pumpkin puree and it didn't...

    Has Anyone Paid For The Truth About Pet Food's Best Cat Food?

    I've been using it for almost a year and really love it. I have one cat that no matter what I do will not eat anything but dry food so I use it a lot to look at ingredients, pro's, con's etc.

    My Raw Food Adventure

    Better in the Raw came but we probably won't be making any batch for a couple of weeks as poor Annabelle is under the weather and not eating like her usual self :(

    Buffalo Blue (walnut shell) Litter- has anyone tried?

    We tried it once, it had the cat's approval but not Mother's approval as it's extremely dusty and tracks everywhere. We now use a brand called Ecolife Cat litter we get at our local specialty pet store. It has absolutely no dust, is light and made of pea fiber. Unlike clay litter you don't need...

    Faye And Annabelle

    Thanks for the warm welcome Tabby Tom! :) I actually resigned from the foster coordinator role in January as we had a new manager that... wasn't really nice. No one even said goodbye to me so I'm taking a break from the shelter for a bit. I might go to other organization but I'm not sure. We...

    Faye And Annabelle

    Hey Everyone, My name is Amanda and I’ve been a lurker for a while and just thought I would share our family cats with everyone! We are from Canada, and I’m a Graphic Designer looking for work. It started when my brother wanted a cat to “annoy my budgies.” After months of convincing, the...

    Does The Perfect High Protein Low Carb Dry Cat Food Exist?

    Orijen recently came out with the new Fit and Trim recipe. I'm going to be switching my girls to it after their Kirkland huge bag of food is done. Orijen is very expensive, if it's too much for you have you thought about looking into their sister company Arcana?

    Wet Food Help

    Annabelle won't eat it even if it is warmed up after being in the fridge covered, as long as the can is opened she sniffs her nose up at it. We guess it's because she is special needs, she's partially blind so her other senses are more elevated, like smell :( But if it's RAW coming out of the...

    Wet Food Help

    I know this thread is old, but I read that your cat will not eat the wet food after you refrigerate it. My cat Annabelle has the same problem, so we use wet food that comes in "perfect portions" such as Whiskas. It comes in Pate and now Chunks in Gravy. We've tried other options like Fancy Feast...

    My Raw Food Adventure

    Thanks Emmi, I did look into Alnutrim as well as EZ Complete, but they charge over $20 shipping to Canada, plus I'd need to convert US to CAN currency so it ends up being much more expensive. Better in the Raw and TC Feline both do free shipping to Canada. I'll make sure to let everyone know...

    My Raw Food Adventure

    I have finally convinced my parents to buy some sample pre-mixes to make our own ground raw food. I’m so excited :D Right now, Annabelle is eating Iron Will Raw (Note: I am in Canada so a lot of the brands I read on here are not available.) It isn’t a whole prey model so it doesn’t have all the...
