I was doing a bunch of research about cat nutrition online last night and cannot remember where I saw this. The site claimed that FortiFlora is animal digest and Temptations treats are made mostly of animal digest, so you can crush them and sprinkle them on top of food with the same results at a much cheaper price. This does not sound right to me.
Now, if it were true, that would be fantastic because my cats absolutely adore Temptations and I feel a little guilty giving them what I thought was junk food. The ingredients (taken from the back of the bag of 'Mixups' I have here in my lap) do not mention animal digest. The only animal based ingredients appear to be chicken by product meal, animal fat, dried meat by products, and shrimp meal.
Does anyone know anything about this? I saw that Dr. Pierson says that FortiFlora is animal digest, so I believe that, but what about the Temptations treats? Maybe another flavor has the animal digest in it?
Edit: Aha! I found it. It was from Dr. Pierson:
FortiFlora can be purchased online but an easier product to find is Temptations treats. I trap a lot of feral cats for spaying/neutering purposes and this is one of the best baits that I can use. These tasty treats can be found at most pet stores. Put a few in a baggie and crush them with a hammer. Use the crushed treats as described for the FortiFlora above.
My paraphrasing was off, but it still sounds like she is saying that Temptations can be used the same as FortiFlora? Or is this just about enticing cats to eat canned food?
