Hey everyone,
I hope this is in the right forum. So I have a cat with mega colon who needs to get more fluids. It turns out he loves these broth packets by Fancy Feast. I use it as a treat/snack. Unfortunately, a 1.4 oz. packet costs $1.00 or more.
The ingredients for one of the flavors are: Fish Broth, Salmon, Fish Extract, Whitefish, Milk, Modified Tapioca Starch, Potato Starch, Wheat Starch, Added Color, Sugar, Salt, Soy Protein Isolate, Vegetable Oil, Guar Gum, Xanthan Gum, Vitamin E Supplement, Egg Whites, Spice, and Coloring. B-6559
So it seems to me that it's basically just fish broth with little chunks of fish in it. Plus, a lot of other crap he doesn't need. Is there a way I can make this at home without the junk in it? Does anyone here make fish broth? Can you buy just fish broth that is safe for cats? Is this a terrible idea or unhealthy? I couldn't find any threads on it.
Thanks!
Natalie
