My overweight cat is still refusing to eat canned food of any kind. I've been feeding her half pouch food and half dried, but my vet wants her off the high-carb pouch and commercial dry food and onto a high-protein canned food.
The trouble is that I have tried literally every single canned food available here, and she just won't eat it. I'm getting awfully tired of throwing food away and the cost is enormous.
I bought a bag of Dr. Elway's dried food as the protein/fat/carb ratio is very good. She will eat it most of the time, and my other cat hates it, so it could be a good solution to the problem.
I keep hearing here that any canned food is better than any dried food but having looked at the nutritional profiles of various foods posted here, it seems to me that she'd be far better off on the Dr. Elway's dry than on her pouch food, which is nutritionally not nearly as good.
Given that she is a very good water drinker anyway, wouldn't it be better to feed her the Dr. Elway's dried than keep her on the low-protein, high-carb pouch foods?
