Hey everyone,
So my 5 year old, 12 pound bundle of joy, Bernie was just adopted last Friday. He has had some dental work done - 8 extractions - on his left side with only 3 fangs left. His coat on his body is nice/full, while his coat in between his eyes and ears have had some hair loss, which is normal of cats with FIV, I was told.
I have been feeding him what they were feeding him at the ASPCA, twice a day: 1/4 cup of Halo Spot's Stew Wholesome Chicken Indoor Cat Formula dry food and 2 tablespoons of Triumph canned salmon pate side by side. He leaves most of the dry food behind when he eats. He doesn't go crazy over his dry food. For his treats (I give him 1-3 a day) I use Temptations turkey flavor treats. He LOVES these treats even though they're sub-par and have corn in them.
Does anyone have any experience with Blue Buffalo dry cat food? Is it REALLY as good as these reviews say they are? I did an ingredients comparison and I do love that they include L-Lysine in their formulas! It's just as a first time cat owner with a cat with special needs I'd like to give him the best so he can live his best life.
Or, if anyone has any other suggestions on feeding my FIV+ cat, it'd be really helpful!
Side note - my cat tends to fart a bit when he is deeply relaxed and asleep. Is that normal?
