We received a free kit. Took over a year to process after re-reminding them. Results were all inconclusive and vague. Not worth the $$$

And yet dry food has been recalled for years for salmonella, aflatoxins/mycotoxins, antibiotic residues, improper vitamin/mineral levels and much more. Why you SHOULD feed your health compromised cat Raw Food I understand why raw feeding can seem scary with the FDAs current witch hunt against...

I am glad that they have changed their recipes as I always liked them (in terms of ingredients) better than most.  Back then all flavours were too high in fat actually, not just the lamb. Fatty cuts are a lot cheaper than lean meat and when the consumer sees "venison" in the ingredients they...

Wowza - what a story!   I am sorry to hear that your cats are having so many issues It's sounds to me like their current diet plan is causing them more trouble than good. Have you have ever considered going raw? You would be amazed the wonder if does for the health and it can be very affordable...

I will check out the thread too. We also had an incredible bizarre and scary experience with Ziwipeak that I will share. This was about 4-5 years ago. At the time our girl was eating weight management wet food and we decided to try putting her on Ziwipeak instead as at the time she could only...

That's a really unfortunate statement, old school and backwards way of thinking. I personally would change vets if it were me. There is scientific literature, countless veterinarian articles and speakers that 100% disagree. It is being shown the dry food is responsible for the epidemic in pets...

Hi Sivyaleah & GoHolistic!! Very interesting cases! I am currently doing some research on FHS. I wrote an article last year and we have 99% cured our FHS cat. I am hoping to find out as much as I can so I can share it with others. Most often FHS is related to allergies, poor diet or...

As she is only 6 months - what's your reason to transition? Kittens can go up until a year before they are "adults". But, it is totally fine to feed adult food to kittens until they reach of age, but you should be feeding them as much as they want - don't regulate yet. Only start structuring...

  It is not recommended to feed fish more the once a week. Seafood has been linked to UTI's due to the high phophorus content and can lead to hyperthyroidism due to levels of iodine and PDBEs. There is also the risk of allergies, PCBs, mercury, and most cheap food brands used spoiled fish in...

To explain my reasoning further. I understand that you are looking for a healthier dry, BUT feeding low to medium quality dry is not ideal . This is why I was wondering if you could remove it. Here is why, in your case: Authority Sensitive vs. Good Natured Dry Matter Basis (%)Authority...

That should be absolutely fine  Kitten foods are meant to be high calorie, so just be sure to feed him more often in the adult food. Raw fed kittens don't eat anything differently than adults, the only rule is that they should eat as much as the want - whereas once they are adults they should...

What is the reason you need to feed dry at all? Almost all dry foods are high in carbohydrates - veg ones are no different than the grain ones. It just sounds more appealing to consumers, but its not any healthier.  Did you know that feral cats won't ingest more than 2% carbs in the wild...

Agree with many of the above. We feed ours FD and frozen primal, but every once in awhile they turn their noses up to certain flavours. We have also had better luck with FD as the colder temperature can be unappealing some nights, and one of ours will throw-up if it's too cold. We have bought...

Thanks so much for the link. I copied and pasted vball91's post. @tinn  It might be worth noting that the phosphorus levels are especially too high in the Sea-Licious Salmon and Cod, and I would be weary to feed the Duck Duck Goose which is too high in Calcium. The rest are close to the norm. ...

I also second Fancy Feast Classics (classics only!). It has no carbohydrates or carrageenan. I would personally choose this over any medium quality brands that are filled with grains or veggies as cats cannot digest carbohydrates and it's really just a ploy to make humans think it's healthy and...

Not a problem LisaHE.  It happens to the best of us.  Even I had to double-check, because I wasn't sure about the pH of phosphorus, only calcum. I figured you might have a CKD cat. Our beloved Lucky was a CKD cat, who passed away 6 years ago  Aww too bad. I am surprised that info is not on...

Very interesting question. I have noticed that some of the commercial raw diets have inconsistent or too high calcium to phosphorus ratios. This can be a serious issue over the long-term. For example, we feed Primal and I have found that many of their formulas have too much calcium, this can...

Thanks for the post. This link explains it a little more: http://www.weruva.com/tid-bits-detail.php?My-cats-really-love-your-fish-varieties.-Should-I-be-concerned-about-mercury-How-often-can-I-feed-fish-1 I would take this with a grain of salt, because even in the human market it is very hard...
