Looking for grain free cat food - comparing Wild Calling

[luvmycat6204]

Currently both kittens (4 months old) have been on Hills Prescription I/D for the past two months and finally their GI tract has calmed down.  They were both having bouts of intermittent soft stools, gas, bloating.  Now all that is gone and it's time to find another product for them to switch to. 

I need something grain free, feather free, fish free and carrageen free.  I found only one.... Wild Calling (either Rabbit or Buffalo).  Both seem to have no carbs, and have all the right vitamins for a limited diet:

Rabbit, Water (Sufficient for Processing), Liver, Guar Gum, Brewers Dried Yeast, Taurine, Calcium Sulfate, Vitamins (Vitamin E Supplement, Niacin Supplement, L-Ascorbyl-2-Polyphosphate [Source of Vitamin C], Thiamine Mononitrate [Source of Vitamin B1], Calcium Pantothenate, Vitamin A Supplement, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride [Source of Vitamin B6], Riboflavin Supplement [Source of Vitamin B2], Folic Acid, Vitamin B12 Supplement, Biotin, Vitamin D3 Supplement), Minerals (Zinc Sulfate, Ferric Sulfate, Copper Sulfate, Manganese Sulfate, Sodium Selenite, Potassium Iodide)

At Chewy, it's a 5.5 oz case of 24 for $40.99.  My idea is to keep them on the next round of food for awhile and then go to a less expensive food.  I originally wanted something with Pork in it as that is what Hills I/D is all about, but was unable to find that.

I went to their website and it said that it is "sourced in the US", not sure what that means.

Any ideas... trying to keep cost down a bit, LOL, if that's possible. 

Thanks !!

Just called Wild Calling and they are now rolling out the dry version of the Buffalo and Rabbit in 30 days.  It has not hit the distributors yet, I called Chewy and they have been getting calls requesting this in their line.

 

[chloe92us]

I have no input on Wild Calling, but it seems very odd that both kittens had the same symptoms, AND have the same allergies? 

My thought is that when you got the kittens, you began feeding them a different food than they were used to and they got the runs (totally normal).  This almost always happens when going from a dry food diet to a wet food diet and vice versa and they can have soft stools for weeks.  It tends to go away after some time.  Without knowing the background, it seems that the same food allergies in both kittens, would be highly unlikely. 

I guess what I'm trying to say is, I wouldn't limit myself to non-feather without knowing, for a fact, there is a poultry allergy (as in, allergy testing).  Since diarrhea is an issue with these two, just focus on incorporating new foods veeeerrrry slowly so as not to upset their GI.  You also may want to look at adding probiotics during the transition.  Good luck!

Wild Calling is a good pet food, I bought every variety & all 3 of my cats wouldn't touch any of it, I ended up feeding it to my dog!

I'm proud of you for not feeding carrageenan. When I got my kitties, I researched & researched. I would love to feed raw 100% but really hate dealing with raw meat everywhere. Another thing I learned from the Dr Pierson website (http://catinfo.org) is carb content. When I first got the kitties I was mainly concerned about a quality food with no carrageenan so I started out with Soulistic. I noticed them always looking fat, well kittens have the big belly which is typical. I switched from that to Weruva & the fatness went away. Soulistic has total more carbs than Weruva does.

Here is my list ALL are carrageenan free. These can be found at big chain pet stores.

Hope that will help. Remember this is the list that I have compiled. I won't feed my cats fish meals so there aren't many listed. These are not my carb content, they are just food brands without carrageenan. You're just going to have to get some food & see what works best with your kitty. I've been feeding Nature's Variety since the beginning of June & now am thinking of going back to the Weruva because one of my little girls has some runny poop. That didn't happen with the Weruva. I load them up with probiotics but it still happens. Might be too rich of a food. I feed all their varieties.

Anyway hope this helps, I'm sure a million people posted while I was in the process. Sorry if it might be a repeat.

Hi Chloe ~  I was trying to keep things simple in my testimony here.  The male cat had the most dramatic reaction to anything feathers as the first ingredients and grain, ie... gas, sneezing, scratching around the face and ears, running eyes and nose, crying from the gas within minutes of eating.  The female would have other types of gastric distress such as alot of diarrhea.  We have run all the parasite testing and there has been no findings and finally their GI system has calmed down on the Hills I/D. The predominant ingredient is Pork.  They have both been on Hills I/D now for the past 60 days. 

Initially I put them on kitten by Royal Canin and Limited Turkey by Natures Variety. 

I have no idea what food they were on initially as they were rescue kittens and I adopted them within minutes of being found out in the woods.  They had not even been weaned yet.  I was doing the weaning. The female came to me weighing 1 lb, 2 ounces and was very thin and the male was 2 pounds in May.

So, that's their story.

 

[msserena]

Sorry, I missed the feather free part. I guess you can pick & choose other protein sources from the list.

I got 3 kittens from the Humane Society & they were all about 8 weeks old. All of them had runny poop when I first got them because they were used to eating dry only. I fed dry at the time with wet in the morning & evening. Still had runny poop a good month & a half after. I got Flagyl & the runny poop stopped. The medicine calms their digestive tract down if it's inflamed. So after the medicine, if there is still runny poop it just might be the food.

I got my kitties at the beginning of Nov & I'm still trying to figure the food thing out! Next up I want to try the Tiki Cat Gourmet Carnivore line. It's a lot like Weruva.

 

[cocheezie]

I use Wild Calling successfully to help fatten up a sick cat - mostly duck, but also buffalo. I have not seen the rabbit in local stores. Wild Calling is very smelly. I've stopped using Wild Calling Chicken - it smelled off. The beef has bits of cartilage or something in it. I have not tried the fish due to phosphorus problems with my cat. You can try contacting them for more information. I tried, and received no response. Another poster tried and did get a response. Here is the thread: http://www.thecatsite.com/t/280064/wild-calling-buffalo-canned-carbohydrate-level

 

[luvmycat6204]

Thank you Messerena

for your dedicated list to rule out carrageenan.  It's a work in progress.  My vet wouldn't give them Flagyl at such an early age but they did get other GI medication.  I find that first thing in the morning, their bowel movements are solid after a night of fasting. I time their wet food to every 4 hours and 1/4 of a 5.5 ounce can.  Any more than that, and their bowel movements get very soft. I have come to believe their GI tracts are still healing.  They both go in next Thursday for another assessment.

 

[denice]

I have fed some Wild Calling along with other foods.  It isn't one that my kitties particularly like but they will eat it.  One of my kitties has IBD and has developed a chicken allergy and can't tolerate beef so food is a challenge.

 

[luvmycat6204]

Thanks for the link Cocheezie on Wild Calling.  I think in lieu of ordering online and buying a whole case,  I'll pick up some cans at a local cat boutique and see how the consistence and smell is all about.

 

[abbyntim]

My male cat Tim has some pretty strict food limitations: No chicken, no fish, no carrageenan. I am suspicious of guar gum and xantham gum, as well as turkey in large amounts. It's been a challenge to feed him.

At the present time, I feed Tim the following:

• Nature's Variety Instinct rabbit - this is not limited, but he is doing well on it. This is the bulk of his diet.
• Lotus Just Juicy pork stew and Lotus Just Juicy turkey stew - he eats 1/8 to 1/4 can of one or the other daily. He loves it and so far is doing well on each.

He also eats a small amount of Party Animal Organics turkey and Nature's Variety Instinct Limited Ingredient Diet turkey. For the past couple of months, if he ate too much turkey, he showed signs of stomach upset. Given his severe reaction to chicken several months ago, now I also worry about poultry in general. Tim is a work in progress, though, and he is showing signs his digestion may have improved recently, so I will likely try poultry again, but in small amounts.

Nature's Variety Instinct also has pork, venison, and lamb varieties. I think you may have tried this brand and didn't have much luck? Some varieties are pretty high fat, though the rabbit is moderate fat. Lotus Just Juicy stew is also pretty lean and your kittens may tolerate it well.

I tried feeding them Wild Calling duck and neither one would have anything to do with it. I have the rabbit variety in the cupboard but haven't tried it yet, as they both love and are doing well with Nature's Variety Instinct rabbit.

You might also try Hounds & Gatos, which has both pork and rabbit varieties. I also have those in my cupboard, but haven't tried them yet. There is an online retailer that will sell single cans, so you can try them out before committing to a case. I think it's called It's a Pet's Life, based in Minnesota. I bought a bunch of singles, which was great as Tim's tummy is so sensitive and Abby tends to be a little picky.

 

[luvmycat6204]

Hi AbbyNTim ~ You always come to my help, thank you :-) Interesting that this is soo much of a challenge to keep our furkids healthy and fit for longevity.  What happened to the cats back in the 50's and 60's that survived a long life on cat food purchased off the shelves in grocery stores?

How long has Tim been on Natures Variety Rabbit? Is this dry or wet?  Was it you who wrote to me that you were first on Hills I/D which is mostly pork and then changed to Natures Variety Pork and were going to move to another protein source?

 

[abbyntim]

Hi there, happy to share what I know.

But it is not my cats that started on Hill's. We started them on grain-free kibble with a daily treat of mostly Wellness grain-free canned. After Tim's second really bad constipation episode in June 2013, we transitioned them to mostly Wellness canned with some Weruva and Tiki Cat. He was still having a lot of problems, so in February 2014, I eliminated carrageenan, fish, chicken, and other gums. He is so much better now, but still has some lingering issues.

Tim has eaten Nature's Variety Instinct since early February. I started him on the limited ingredient diet - turkey and duck. At our holistic veterinarian's suggestion, we added rabbit in March because she said many kitties with sensitive tummies do very well on rabbit. I stopped duck because it's higher fat and for a couple of months he ate turkey and rabbit. After really bad diarrhea in early May, we switched him to all rabbit. Each time I tried to increase turkey, he'd get nauseous or have mild diarrhea or have a coughing fit. So either we still have some work to do with his tummy, or he is now sensitive to turkey. Small amounts don't seem to bother him.

Nature's Variety makes rabbit in all three formulations: raw, canned, and dry. I feed canned, though we are going to start adding raw into his rotation soon. I plan to purchase a bag of the Nature's Variety dry to have on hand as a snack, especially because Nature's Variety makes a limited ingredient rabbit formulation in dry. Better for sensitive tummies.

I wonder if those bags of kibble from the 50s and 60s were better quality and made with more meat products and less grains and yuck.

Yes, thank you!

 

[catmom203]

I saw your list of cat foods here that don't have carrageenan. I look for food that also doesn't have 

ethoxyquin

Butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA)

Butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT)

and to top it off, because of CKD low phosphorus!

It's more than challenging. After finally settling on a couple of Soulistic flavors and Weruva Steak Frites (he loved beef) and occassionaly Hill's Ideal Balance grain free chicken (my least favorite of his favorites)

and using Epakitin with them my fur baby was just diagnosed with pancreatitis.

He needs 375 calories a day to maintain 12.5 pounds. I try for 400 because he doesn't lick his plate; he's not a dog, and there is a little waste. 

I looked at the list and some of the foods are not on the lists of phosphorus content that are on the internet. (crf.org and I think the other was catinfo) 

Also foods that didn't have carrageenan in them in 2014 did in 2015 ie some Wellness some Soulistic and Newman's Own. 

Have you updated your information and do you have any idea on the phosphorus or other nutritional content on those foods?

 

[posiepurrs]

First, I use some Wild Calling varieties for my boy, Boo. He has stomatitis and anything poultry seems to make it flare up more.  I had contacted them to see if they made 13 oz cans as i was going to put all of my cats on it, but when they replied I found out that the 5.5 oz cans are the only size they make.

My question is, you said that the kittens had tested negative for all parasites -generally vets do not include a test for Trichmonas Feotus unless it is asked for specifically. Were they also tested for TF?

 

[catmom203]

I just have the one cat and no he wasn't tested for parasites. I am going to the Animal Hospital this morning to get more cyproheptadine to stimulate his appetite and I will ask about that testing. Do you know the name of the test? They use Anatech (I think that's how it is spelled) labs here. 

 

[posiepurrs]

There are 2 ways to do it- the expensive complete diarrhea panel where they test for everything or just ask for a trichamonas feotus test.
