Another food question..?

[myrnafaye]

So I ordered Weruva WX and my cats like it - the chicken in broth formula. It is low in phosphorus which is good for Mittens with the slightly elevated SDMA, but I think the other cats can eat it also. Question: what are some good DRY formulas for me to look at, that I can feed all the cats including Mittens? I have Hills early support KD but no one really likes it. I mostly feed canned food, but they do like some crunchies, for a snack or to mix with the canned food for texture! (cant blame them....)

Well, Tanya's site also has a list of dry food in order of the amount of phosphorus in it, so here is that link:

so: is it harmful to give normal healthy cats a formula that has .50 phosphorus? I have KD early support (for Mittens) but no one really likes it....

Personally, I wouldn't feed a healthy cat food that is that low in phos as their ONLY food. But you could always ask your Vet what their take on it is. Certainly I would not feed it to a kitten unless they are the one with CKD, but I don't know the ages of your cats.
