I've recently had to make some changes in my kitties diets once again because Oreo is now a diabetic. I've also tried the Stella and Chewy's raw Duck about a week or two ago. They don't like it so far. Will keep trying on my days off. Raw has to be taken up an hour after you put it down.
So, I'm buying low carb for all, and low phos foods for Nat according to several lists I've found and absolutely no grain. I didn't realize that Friskies pate has rice in it. Those infernal ingredient lists are so hard to read even with glasses!
I read on the Cat info site to limit liver, since it's a cheap ingredient, cheaper than meat which "enhances the producers' profit margins" according to the author.
Every single can I have has liver in some way shape or form. Either giblets, or meat byproducts, or liver as one of the ingredients. Sometimes is high up on the list, sometimes further down, but every single one, except for the FF chicken in delicate broth has liver in it.
How much is too much? Could this be a cause of our kitties tummy upsets when the vet can't find a reason? It has to be what they are eating.
I'm going to have to try to get them back on the limited ingredient canned foods again.
