Hello, I am thinking of trying homemade cat food for our cat, Buddy. Many years ago we had a cat with multiple allergies (chicken, fish and all the derivatives of these two) and stomatitis. I fed her homemade raw. I added her supplements individually, as we couldn't eve do egg shell powder...

FYI - I used to feed this in rotation to Buddy - he is allergic to chicken. They discontinued it a good while back, but I am still working off the stock I have. I just noticed they are making it again! It is on their website. I ordered some from Amazon to see if its still good. I am afraid...

Hello, Our kitty, Buddy had one canine and 4 other small teeth extracted on September 8th. He had dissolvable stitches. He has done very well. He eats fine (including his dry crunchy treats), plays normally, grooms, wants plenty of attention and love, breath is fine. He doesn't shy away from...

Our cat Buddy (3+ years old) had to have one upper canine and four of those itty bitty teeth removed this past Friday due to resorption issues. The fang was obvious, and dental radiographs showed the itty bitty teeth had resorption issues. Buddy is recovering very well, maybe too well! We...

Hello, I recently tried Tiki Cat Sardines for a treat for our cat Buddy. He has at least one food allergy that we know of (chicken), and lots of pollen allergies. He started scratching his ears again. I stopped giving him the Sardine treat (a little bit every other day or so - maybe a...

I can't resist sharing this! Buddy gets a little bit of dry food for a treat. I am using Bixbi Salmon. I wanted to see if I could find a Lamb dry food to alternate. I found one that looked pretty good, but I wanted to know the approximate percentage of Lamb vs the rest of the ingredients...

Hello, I wanted to see if adding oily fish to Buddy's diet might help with his constipation. It is under control with 1/4 tspn Miralax per day, but I would love to reduce the amount if possible (or eliminate it). I have tried probiotics and they made no difference. Buddy gets mostly canned...

Hello, I am trying out some dry food for our kitty Buddy. He eats wet food - a variety. Our vet really wanted us to add a little bit to Buddies diet as he has had constipation issues on and off since we adopted him (July of last year). He is approximately 2.5 years old. I have to keep him...

If you cat has food allergies, watch out for ingredients that are simply listed as "natural flavors". I tried a treat for Buddy (he is allergic to chicken and possibly pork). It had an ingredient simply listed as "natural flavors". He started scratching his ears again. Double check the...

Hello, Buddy is currently on Revolution Plus. It doesn't seem to bother him at all other than losing a tiny bit of fur at the application site - small spot - maybe the size of a penny or slightly larger. No scab and it doesn't hurt. The skin isn't red either. To complicate things a bit - he...

Buddy is currently on Miralax daily. He has what I assume are chronic constipation issues due to non-treatment early in his previous home. We adopted him in July. He is approx 2 years old. He was TNR'd when he was approx 1 at a trailer park - the TNR folks realized he wasn't feral and got him...

Hello, I have read that giving a cat that has pollen/environmental allergies a wipe down can help them, as ingesting the environmental allergen can give them issues. I can't find any unscented cat/pet wipes online. Any suggestions, or should I stick with a warm wrung out washcloth? I noticed...

We have been trying various canned foods that are limited ingredient and no-chicken. He has been so-so on most of them. I can get him to eat the Instinct LID rabbit IF I mix in a bit of something he likes. I had been using Soulistic Lamb, but am not crazy about the fact that the 3rd...

Hello, I just realized I forgot to introduce Buddy! I have posted quite a bit since we adopted him. Was a bit of a rough start due to health issues he had (ear infection, ear yeast, constipation, food allergy, environmental allergy). He is doing great now. Working on the environmental...

I ordered a few cans of Mouser, which our cat Buddy didn't care for, and this: ESSENCE GRAIN FREE RANCH & MEADOW RECIPE CANNED CAT FOOD. He seems to really like it. The ingredients and nutritional information is: INGREDIENTS LAMB, LAMB BROTH, PORK LIVER, PORK, NATURAL LAMB FLAVOR, CALCIUM...

Hello, Buddy has been taking Miralax since we adopted him in July. He came to us very constipated. We started him on Miralax 1/4 tspn a day in late July. He has improved to having pretty normal daily poop for the last 3 week or so. It took a while to get to this point. The history we know...

Hello, not sure if this is something I need to worry about, since we feed 100% wet food to our kitty, Buddy. He doesn't drink water. I have been putting a little water around his wet food - moat method I read here. He does drink that up as he eats his food. I have tried stainless steel...

I am so very disappointed! I thought I had found a Lamb only canned food for our cat Buddy that didn't have any other meat/protein source in it. I bought a case of Nutri Source Lamb & Lamb Liver select on-line. I went to the Nutri Source website to copy and paste the ingredients listed for...

We have figured out that our new kitty Buddy probably has food allergies. He started scratching his ears and neck last week. He started not having as much energy and not wanting to help me work (I work from home), not wanting to be in his cat tree by my desk, etc. He had stinky loose stool...

Hello. Our new kitty Buddy - approx 2 yrs old and healthy, just had his distemper vaccine booster today. He is due for his monthly Revolution Plus today as well. Should I hold off a few days before treating him with the Revolution? Opinions? I am inclined to wait a few days, maybe 3. We are...
