Best cat food that you can buy at walmart?

Im at my wits end! All of the cat foods that are being reccommended I can only buy 30+ miles from here! If I have to drive that far to get cat food, I dont even know if Id want to pick that one. My husband is not going to agree to drive that far anyway. So whats the best cat food that you can get from WALMART?











Youll need to do some label reading - avoid foods with corn and by-products. Remember that Nature intended for cats to eat meat, not corn. It can also cause them to have tummy issues as many cats cannot digest it. By-products are the scraps of the slaughterhouse industry. Beaks, diseased organs, hides, tendons, spinal chords - things not fit for human consumption - those are by-products. Look for a food that has a real meat source listed as the first ingredient (it should say chicken or chicken meal, not by-product meal or chicken by-products) and no corn, or corn gluten meal. Avoid their Special Kitty brand, but I have been told that they do sell a brand that is free of corn and by-products. As I said, youll need to read labels. My personal opinion is that you should make the trip, to get some better brands, but stock up to make it worthwhile so you dont have to go very often. Or you can buy online and have it shipped to the house and save gas!

Is it safe or ok to use a dish dry cat food was previously stored in?

Luisa

I have a tupperware bowl that I used to keep my cats dry food in and I wnt to use it for something else is it safe?



Gaye

The plastic will absorb cat food odors, and those could be transferred to any food that is put into the bowl. So from a safety issue, there will be none. But from a taste standpoint, a lot will depend on what food is put into the Tupperware container.



Charlene

As long as you wash it thoroughly with dishsoap and water beforehand and you dont have a problem with its previous use, I dont see why not.



Margit

It depends. If youre using it to feed a baby from or something, I wouldnt lol. Plastic tends to hold odors, but cat food is pretty safe so I dont think it would be an issue at all to use it for something else.



Cecille

Of course, if you washed it first! :)



Georgeann

LOL, yes it is. You can even have a growing plant in one, dispose of the plant, wash the tupperware and its ok for food. Dont worry.



Hector

Its fine as long as she didnt use the restroom or get sick in it! Its just cat food.



Rudolf
