    Acidity And Raw Cat Food...one Problem Solved...another One Introduced

    What is the temperature of the raw? If fed while still frozen or too cold, it could cause vomiting.

    Young cat occasionally wheezing/coughing

    Litter definitely can irritate cats and humans lungs!! If she likes clay, I highly recommend Dr. Elsey's Kitten Attract. It isn't just for kittens, I think they should change the name. It is unscented and has the least amount of dust in a clay litter of all that I've tried, and I've tried...

    Blood glucose levels not responding to treatment

    Dry food is loaded with carbs. Can you get him off dry food completely and I'm a grain and carageenen free or raw diet? I've read of cats reversing diabetes when fed a raw diet.

    Lung cancer

    My heart aches for you. :( I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. It's never easy losing a furbaby. It sounds like you are giving her good care and love. She's very fortunate to have such a caring mom to love and take care of her. I wish there was something that I could say or do to make it...

    Nature's Variety Raw Instinct Bites

    Me either. In my opinion, Wellness is a middle of the line food. They had a recall a little over seven years ago if I remember correctly. I'm thinking they didn't have enough thiamine in some of their food. It was around the right they were sold to Wellpet. I stopped feeding the food. I'm...

    Nature's Variety Raw Instinct Bites

    @dorimon I forgot to add that there are some Wellness products that are carageenen free slowly making it into the market. They have a new Core canned food that has gravy that is carageenen free. They have it available on Chewy.com now. I tried it. My cats like it ok but it is long slices of...

    Nature's Variety Raw Instinct Bites

    The manager of my local pet store told me first. She says their Wellness rep told them to tell their Crazy Cat Lady, meaning me, that they are taking it out. She said they are changing the labels and everything. She said they will slowly be rolling it out over the next few months. I then...

    Artie and his Issues

    Congrats on getting the refund! Hopefully your experience will prevent others from ever having to go through anything similar with that awful vet practice. I just wanted to explain some things about raw, in case you aren't aware. Some brands of raw are treated with a process called HPP, high...

    Thanks. I'll try mixing them like you suggested. I did put some of the chub in the freezer. I'll get some of the carageenen free Wellness when it becomes available and try mixing that too. Thanks!

    Artie and his Issues

    After reading this, I wanted to tell you about a situation I had with one of my cats. She was diagnosed with colitis. She had bloody diahrea. I tried several rounds of antibiotics, which they did nothing to help. I have a great vet, but I decided to take matters into my own hands. My cat was...

    Lung cancer

    I'm so sorry. My dear Kitty had mammary cancer that eventually came back to her lungs. I know the anguish you are going through. We didn't have the option for any meds. We were given the option of a lung tap. I agreed, but in hindsight I wish I wouldn't have done it. She slept for three days...

    Hairball questions

    Definitely take her to the vet. What are you feeding her? Is the canned food that you got her grain and carageenen free? Both can cause digestive upset. Did you switch foods slowly? If not, that can contribute to it too. Don't punish her if she get sick. That will just stress her out and more...

    Artie and his Issues

    I'm sorry but I haven't followed his whole story and read all of the pages. I have fed my cats Nature's Variety for years and haven't experienced issues as a result of the clay. You said in your one post that he'll only eat the Instinct. Have you tried adding water or pumpkin to it? Have you...

    Young cat occasionally wheezing/coughing

    There could be quite a few possibilities. It would be good to have a visit to the vet since it could be so many different things. What type of cat litter are you using? If it is dusty, that could be contributing to it. If you are using corn litter, cats can have reactions to that too. Do you use...

    Nature's Variety Raw Instinct Bites

    I tried the chub this morning. It wasn't a huge hit. My outside semi feral loved it though. I'm thinking about just sticking with the dog bites and sprinkling on the taurine. Five of my eight cats will soon be ten years old or older. I don't want to mess with their food too much and have them...

    Nature's Variety Raw Instinct Bites

    The dog bites are going ok. I haven't added any taurine yet. I haven't had time to get to the health food store. I haven't been feeding the bites exclusively, so I think I'm ok for now. I had ordered some Bravo canned food to try. My one senior cat will eat raw, but I can tell it's not his...

    Nature's Variety Raw Instinct Bites

    I'm probably the only person who feeds my cats raw in our area. I think there may be some that feed Stella and Chewy's freeze dried. I know there are a few who feed their dogs raw. I special order the NV cat bites every week. I looked at a bag of Stella and Chewy raw dog rabbit at the pet store...

    Nature's Variety Raw Instinct Bites

    I went to my pet store today. Apparently there was a mix up and my chub never got ordered. They did take $3 off of a 7 pound bag of NV dog chicken bites for me though. They are going to order the chub and hopefully it will be here next week. I have a question about adding the taurine. Am I...

    If you're using the basics, then the regular Alnutrion should be added. If you get the boneless chubs, then add Alnutrition with calcium. The Venision is boneless. It comes in one pound chubs. I add the Alnutrtion with egg shell calcium and several of my cats just can't get enough of it! Double...
