I'm very confused. I did not post a link to cats at all. I posted a link to a nutrient chart of many canned food brands that was compiled by Dr Lisa Pierson.the cats in the article you linked me to are 20-30lbs.
Those are okay brands if you are feeding the canned versions. I know their kibble versions are considered higher end, so if you must feed kibble, those are better than most. I just have never fed kibble. Not since 1985.I've always fed dry food, wet food is new to me. The good food i refer too is EVO,california natural, wellness, merrik, go natural etc. I won't feed what the vet sells because they push science diet. they told me not to feed him friskies, and offered me free food, and instead I went and bought him a bag of kibble...I figure even kibble has gotta be better than science diet for week of two....he's never eaten that stuff without it coming out one end or the other in the wrong consistancy.
I've already cut his food back by about half.I was originally feeding him by package instructions, which when I figured it out came up to almost 500 calories/day and he's ALWAYS asking for food/trying to get it himself. hes 14lbsand his current feeding guidelines come from the vets office based on the kcal of the Gonatural wet and wholesome blend kibble. not all foods give me a kcal measurement
Evo kibble though, has been known to raise urine pH values though, which may cause struvite crystal formation. That is based purely on anecdotal accounts, not fact.
I've learned over the years to just not trust what is on the label, or what is on the website. It seems none of it ever adds up, regardless of brand. And when you try to get to the bottom of things, you get different answers depending on what customer service person you talk to.
