Hi. I've been feeding Artie ziwipeak rabbit/lamb for a couple of years, and he is getting too fat, although a lot of folks say 20kcals per lb, Artie has been at 15 lbs, so that would take him to 300 kcals X day. Too much. He's getting porky at 257 kcals X day. AND I'm going broke. What do you recommend for a less expensive food without compromising that is equal to ziwipeak? I'm looking at Lotus, but seems like a lot of stuff in there I have never heard of.Your cats are adorable! I admit my cats aren’t very picky but have you tried ZiwiPeak or Feline Natural? They have Venison and Lamb and I just love their ingredients. Nothing questionable.
Also, 34% fat is perfect. I can’t remember the exact percentages Dr. Pierson recommends except for a minimum of 50% protein but 34% fat is definitely within her guidelines.
I hope they like the food.
Do you feed Ziwipeak exclusively? How much exercise does your cat get in a day?Hi.

LisaMarie if you see this, Hi to you. Haven't been on this page for ever!
about the only pate type my cats will eat is the Rawz, turkey flavor only, thank you.Artie used to hate 'stew' type foods like Tiki Cat, and Purina bought Merrick over a year ago, so I don't like the idea of them being near my cats food. Any pate/meat types come to mind? I'm trying to get info on lotus. Never heard of it until today, so I'm looking for advice from someone who has seen it.
Thanx
LOL, cats are weirdSeems there's competition now which made the others willing to change their preferences.
Er, but all the foods you listed have much more than 34% fat.Hi. My girl has actually had pancreatitis attacks in her life. It is very scary. I wouldn't give her 34% fat. That's too high, I think, for any cat.
My opinion.
I've had my cats on Fancy Feast with some other stuff thrown in for variety. Purina One, Nature's Instinct but they wouldn't eat the duck or rabbit. They did like Dave's ahi tuna. That's a grain free food, but it only comes in bigger cans not the small single servings.
