One of my guys is scratching/ overgrooming right now due to suspected chicken allergy. We're in the process of finding a food that works for him. He is having bad hairballs because of the overgrooming....so my question is, what do you guys suggest I try to help him with the hairballs? I think...

I just got a couple cans each of the Mauri kangaroo and brushtail to try. They liked the kangaroo ok, but the brushtail they really liked. Only thing, it seemed to have a lot of bone pieces in it (they were soft, I could smush them with my fingers). Has anyone else used this food, is this...

Right now, Nutro Natural Choice Chunky Loaf is the only food that my guys will clean their bowls ( they go through phases).  But it's so expensive, the cheapest I can find it is $1.00 per 3 oz. can at Petsmart.  I've checked most places I can think of online, too.  Has anyone found it for less...

What is the texture of the CANNED Weruva Cats in the Kitchen like? I like the ingredients of these, but my guys prefer pates, and I have a feeling these are probably more shredded? I don't feed fish, so it would be the chicken or beef kind, and maybe once in a blue moon the lamb (which has fish...

I have noticed that lower calorie foods tend to be higher carb, and low-carb foods tend to be very nutrient dense and therefore higher calorie.  Which do you think is more important, in terms of weight management, the carbs or the overall calories?

One of my cats has previously had one UTI.  Since, I have been staying away from fish altogether.  I do not feed them any food that contains any fish at all- I mostly stick with chicken, turkey, duck, quail, and rabbit, and mix lots of water into it.  I was wondering though, for the sake of...

Back in December, my cat got a scab on his nose. Not on the nose leather, right above that, in the area that has very short hairs.  Very small--maybe slightly bigger than a pin head. Sometimes the scab would come off, and underneath would be a little raw spot, moist with a little clear fluid...

I don't plan on ordering from Darwin's again, but I'd like to use up what I already have.  On catinfo.org, Dr. Pierson lists their turkey as being sourced from all necks, and therefore is very high in bone content. She lists the phosphorus level as 3.73 on dry matter basis (the highest on the...

I've been using frozen raw, but lately one of my guys just doesn't seem to tolerate it as well as he used to.  Doesn't seem to be related to any certain brand or protein, and also I have tried backing off a while and SLOWLY reintroducing it. He can eat any canned, no problem. But mix a teaspoon...

When you guys introduce a new brand of raw food, do you mix it with their existing and introduce it slowly, like you would do with kibble?  Or can you pretty much just give them a new brand right away, assuming it's a protein they've had before?  I can switch around canned with no problem,but...

My kitty threw up his Nature's Variety Raw duck about an hour after eating it.  He has eaten this many times, I've been rotating this, chicken, and beef.  He's never had problems with any of them, in fact, this is the first time he's ever thrown up at all.  This did happen to be a new bag, but...

I found this food available to me locally: Blue Ridge Beef kitten mix-- ground beef, ground chicken, ground beef heart, ground beef liver, ground chicken bone, ground whole egg.  (http://www.blueridgebeef.com/welcome.html)   I think the ingredients sound great (mine do well with beef, I know...

I'm feeding my kitties mainly raw now, and I noticed that so many of you experienced raw feeders recommend the Natural Factors Double Acidophilus-Bifidus probiotics.  I ordered some from amazon, and I just received it.  I noticed the first ingredient is lactose-- I usually try to avoid that, but...

My kitties are eating about 75% raw now.  When I got them from the shelter a few months ago, they both had giardia, URI, and one had worms. After deworming, clavamox, and 3 rounds of meds for the giardia, they continued to have loose, bloody stools. UNTIL I got them on raw.  Poops are so much...

Today I tried Primal for the first time.  I got a "starter pak" which had 3 nuggets each of Pheasant, Beef and Salmon, Chicken and Salmon, and Quail.  I tried the Pheasant first.  They were nicely vacuum sealed and everything, but they had such a gray color to them, especially the outsides...

I started out feeding my 2 Blue Buffalo Wilderness (dry). They were having digestive issues and their vet said the food may be too rich for them. She recommend Royal Canin. I was not thrilled with the ingredients in that, so I searched for a food that wasn't totally grain-free, but didn't have a...
