Just a thought~~
Lots of people are going to be switching over to the cat foods recommended recently, most of which are premium foods, high in animal protiens, and then some which are grain free entirely.
My only concern is those cats who have kidney issues,(I assume those would already be under veterinary care) or those cats more prone to kidney health changes (older cats are more at risk)--these foods are usually harder to digest/harder on the kidneys. A diet of exclusive dry kibble is a main factor, I believe? Concern being a high protein diet could lead to kidney issues? Would rotating with wet food or going mostly wet solve this? This is all assuming a pet isn't already on a prescription kidney maintainence plan.....
I worry about cats whose diets get suddenly switched to high protein--are there any specific concerns people should be aware of? I know that a quality animal based protein diet is the optimum diet for felines. But there is always a but! *Specifically* should older cats get a different consideration?
Have I made any sense
