I refer to the food chart frequently, however, some of the stats are out dated because some of the company's  have changed their ingredients etc.. If you want to be sure, contact the company directly!  I've called lots of them asking for carb and phosphorus levels! They seem to have this info at...

My cats are doing well on YA and they  really seem to like the taste! I see lots of positive changes, and their coats have never looked so good!  My cats look super healthy, like never before & they have always eaten high end food, but so far this is the best !  I add warm water to their food...

So far so good... 3 months on this food all good in the urinary department!!!!!!!..PH at 6.5.  and seeing all of the "benefits" that YA claim. The only thing I do different is add warm water to the kibble once a day for extra moisture. My cats love it this way!  So happy and relieved!

what symptoms was your cat experiencing ?

He was constantly licking his arms and side, the Vet suggested an allergic reaction to something! When I stopped using the DL.his symptoms went away! I have a current feeding regime that seems to be working so far in keeping his PH in balance. However, i am not blind to the fact that this could...

The L-methionine works like a charm in lowering the PH, but I suspect it makes my cat very itchy, to the point where he is excessively grooming the hair right off of his arms! I only use it in emergencies! Also, I think it's good to be mindful of how this ingredient may impact kidney health! All...

Fantastic information! As well, avoid foods with an abundance of fruits and veggies as they too will raise the PH. Ideally high protein from a good quality meat source, with only a few other ingredients and low carbs+ low phosporus + lots of moisture! I use to think cat food with lots of veggies...

I called Wild Calling today & here is what they said about Carbohydrates and phosphorus levels!!  However,I have to start by saying I am confused! I did manual calculations for carbs, based on their label and used the online calculator. Those two numbers were the same, but much different than...

I found a site to calculate the carb levels. (after I manually figured out how to do it.)The buffalo is higher than I wanted around 9%  but the beef, chicken, and duck come in much lower...in the 3-4 range! http://www.scheyderweb.com/cats/catfood.html

Does anyone know the carb content for this food? I am looking for low carb and low phosphorus, and something of course that my cats will eat, which is the real challenge!! My cats just tried this food for the first time and they went wild for it! It's my understanding, but not yet confirmed, as...

Correction  YA 50/22 food

I having been feeding 50/20 YA, (not the zero carb cat food) 3 weeks now and I am seeing positive results already! :-) Feeding dry kibble only, goes against what I had learned about feline nutrition and urinary issues! The science behind YA food is a paradigm shift from main stream thinking...

Thank you for the information.   Regarding, Y A food, their thinking is,  that it is high carbs that contribute to crystals. They told me they have never had a cat relapse to crystals once on their food!!  I have been adding water to the Vet food and keep my boy really hydrated. Luckily he has...

Has anyone switched their struvite crystal, prone  cat,  over to this no carb, high protein food? I want to get my cat off of corn, wheat and gluten Vet food! Wondered what your experience was and if the crystals returned once on this food! :-)  

FORGET about the diagnosis of FIP for now!! Continue to focus on.... giving your baby intensive supportive care....get your kitty tested for Giardia, given the lose stool....you have to ask for this test .....it's not in the regular stool sample testing...However, I caution... test results OFTEN...

Five years ago, I went down the FIP road! I had a beautiful kitten pass away from  FIP. His belly was very bloated, and from the time of the diagnosis until the end was one month. It progressed very quickly. There is excellent advice on this board, especially, that most cats get the Corona...

There are different brands of urinary food! Some work better than others. Did you try Royal Canin SO Urinary food? It's by prescription only! It works wonders! Has the Vet done an ultrasound? Sounds like crystals or some other type or irritation that needs attention.! Sounds like your kitty...

My cat was hacking for months and nothing coming up or out! They did an ultrasound and said no hairball in the intestinal tract! Three days later, he coughed up a very large hairball!!! My conclusion, they could not see it on the ultrasound! Now I am going thru the same thing again...coughing...

When my cat gets respiratory symptoms, my Vet has suggested giving him Lysine! I purchase it at the pet store in the form of a treat! Lysine strengthens the immune system and it really helped my cat out in this situation, with noticeable improvement. I have also read, it is helpful with gum...

I am in the exact same situation with my red boy!!! At 4 months of age I noticed his gums were bright red and teeth very yellow despite high quality food. My Vet said it's Stomatitis/Gingvitis! From the research I have done, it seems a lot of red cats have this issue, and for the most part...
