Hi All,
My 15yr old cat is 14lbs, and should be more like 10. Our new integrative vet would like to see her on wet food. We currently feed RC Dry Weight Management Food. In the past, we had tried wet, but she was getting hairballs/vomiting a lot so perhaps we just couldn't find the right kind. The new vet recommends the more expensive stuff, like Tiki Cat and Weruva which are chunky. I think we've only done pate in the past, so I'm not sure if she will be finicky on texture or not. For pate versions, she said Wellness or Nature's Variety.
Any success with these brands, or is there a good affordable brand to start with to try? Is there a better texture to start with? We already have a dog on RX food, and the cat is coming home today from surgery to remove a couple growths, and then a tooth extraction they also found due to an absorptive legion. I wanted to get a wet food in case her mouth is sensitive!
Our old vet had the attitude of the damage is already done on her being overweight at such an old age...but obviously if we can help her be more healthy we want to do it!
