i am switching to all canned food. it is going to cost me about twice the price that i am paying now but i am just going to have to cut costs somewhere else. frodo is just so chubby! he needs to lose weight. we feed kibble and canned food right now (orijen and canned wellness). i just have a few questions that you guys might be able to help with! i am sure that you will be able to help because there seems to be lots of very knowledgeable people here!
so, do i need to get diet vet canned food for frodo to lose weight or can i feed him wellness or eagle pack holistic select canned food and get the same results? i chose those two because i am happy with the ingredients (and the price) and i know that my cats like them. they are very picky! i know that canned food helps them to feel full faster and longer, so i don't think that i will need to get the vet food. i am sure my vet won't try to convince me to get the food from her clinic, she is very good about it actually. when i tell her what i feed them she looks it up on the internet (she always has a laptop for her notes and to look up things) and tells me what she thinks about the food. so far i have not fed any food that she has said is bad! haha! she is a very good vet.
also, frodo seems to be very kibble addicted. will i have a lot of trouble switching him to canned only, do you think? he is extremely vocal and will tell me exactly what he wants when he wants it, so i really don't want to end up having weeks of meowing because he wants his kibble! what do you think we can do to make the switch easier on him? i still have quite a bit of kibble (orijen) and i was thinking that i would just gradually feed less kibble and more canned food.
i can't think of any other questions at the moment but i am sure that more will come to me
we are going to the vet on tuesday coming to get frodo some blood work since he has been on a diet for about a year now and hasn't lost any weight, and also both kitties need their yearly check up.
thanks in advance!
