My cat developed allergies and the vet told us to switch to a limited ingredient food without poultry, so we found weruva. He hasn’t shown any allergy symptoms yet on this diet but it’s still too soon to tell at this point. My question is about the calorie content of his food. This is 61kcal per can, and it says to feed 3 cans a day (3oz). He is 9 months old, 10 lbs and this adds up to less than 250 calories per day for him atm. I actually didn’t realize the food was this low in calories, we were pretty much just focusing on finding something without bird protein and fillers.
I know the debate still rages on about whether feeding wet food alone is ok for a cat, I tend to lean towards it being ok. I think the argument that you need dry food to clean their teeth is like cat food propaganda to make you buy their products. You can give a cats stuff to chew on like you do with dogs to help with that or just brush their teeth. Anyways I’m losing my train of thought...
I know you guys aren’t vets but what’s your personal opinion about this diet? He gets some treats during the day so there are some additional calories there.
