cannot recommend rayne nutrition highly enough. top quality food.
Rayne does have wet food.
I am also coming to this post very late but I've been doing online research today on Rayne's feline diet as my 6 year old kitty was diagnosed yesterday with IBD and the vet recommended Rayne's. I never heard of the brand so have been checking it out. I am impressed with your comments since it's obvious the diet has improved the quality of your kitty's life considerably. However the diet will not work for my cat since it is available in dry only and my kitty has never been able to digest dry food. Two of my other cats could not eat dry either as it caused urinary blockages. Dry is not the best choice for cats, although it's true that not every cat who eats dry will become ill. It would have made sense to at least offer the Rayne's in both dry and wet, so pet parents would have a choice. But since they don't, I will have to look elsewhere for a nutritional diet for my poor kitty.
Oh, what a bummer! I didn't even look at their Canada site.
Thanks for your reply. I'm in Canada and the diets offered are not the same. In any case, my vet had told me that the rabbit is the maintenance formula, fully balanced, while the kangaroo is not fully balanced so the cat can only eat it for a specific time period. Those are the only two formulas for cats in Canada.
I contacted the company yesterday to find out why they didn't offer the rabbit in a wet formula and was told that they're working on it but haven't yet been able to produce a formula that meets their high standard of quality. It may be true or there may be some other reason that they don't want to divulge. He did suggest as one option that I get both the dry rabbit and wet kangaroo and mix them. This was not a logical reply since I had already told him that my cat had never been able to eat dry food. Furthermore, to mix two novel protein sources is not recommended in treating IBD. He said himself that it was preferable to provide just one, so he was in fact, contradicting his own advice by suggesting I mix the two. Needless to say, I wasn't too impressed.
I will be taking my kitty to the vet's on Monday for a B12 injection and will follow up with her about the food issue. Perhaps he can eat the wet kangaroo formula for a specific period of time sufficiently long enough to allow his IBD to settle down.
How did the Rayne crystal food work for your kitty? My boy had crystals in the summer and was prescribed the Royal Canine SO which gave him diarrhea so we then tried the Hills stress CD diet which didn’t help either. He seems to be allergic to both of those foods, because he goes into fits of licking himself or itching (not fleas). I’m very curious about the Rayne diet but the pork protein concerns me a little bit... how did everything turn out with you?Thanks.
I had left a message for Rayne yesterday. They just called back. They are going to send a sample of their food for crystals. When I take him to vet, I will take it with me-if he will eat it.
