Greeneville

Nutro for dry aliment, and Friskies canned aliment.



Elgin

whiskas they sometimes come in can most of the time come in purple boxes (mostly) and my kitty is 4 he loves it as a treat.



Beachwood

my spoiled babyish american shorthaired loves g.whiskers.she won't eat anything else



Bondurant

My cat too eats Purina One chicken flavour.You can switch foods however accomplish it slowly, adding a babyish bit of the fresh aliment to aged aliment, then access the size of fresh aliment and cut the size of aged aliment.Over a 7-14 time period.Aloof to be sure that your cat has enough time to adjust to the fresh aliment.I use dry alone.Great brands are Iams, Hills Science Diet



Catonsville

Mine cherish solid gold.It's not all that even added then purina and they eat a abundance less of it, so it ends up costing approximately the same..solidgoldhealth.com/



San Marino

i food my cats wet aliment at after dark and dry aliment in the morning.its great not to food them aloof dry or aloof wet.my cats according to Whiskas wet aliment, which comes in small alone packets, its their fav.and comes in diff.flavours.



Aerial Ridge

Your cat is smart! Dry aliment will never be allowed in my abode as I learned from my cat getting diabetes the damage it can accomplish.I accomplish understand budgetary concerns however provided you could afford it, canned with outside gravy is bigger then any dry outside there! Read the ingrediants on your tag! Is the aboriginal ingrediant muscle meat? .catinfo.org/



Dustin Acres

You can switch brands as continued as you accomplish a slow, roughly 10 time, switch mixing your aged aliment with the fresh aliment.My cats prefer Government Lite/Hairball ascendancy dry aliment.It's the Alone brand that my oldest will eat.They amuse a small size of the dry aliment in the morning and a small can each of Pro Plan canned aliment at after dark.Wet aliment is valuable since it adds water to their diet.My oldest doesn't drink alot and had litterbox issues due to life dehydrated.Once I started giving him some wet aliment daily, the "issues" stopped.



Raymond

I've had to switch off of Purina One too since it was aloof too expensive however my cats seem to according to Equipment 'N Kaboodle and Cat Chow Indoor Cat Formula.The problem though is provided you own a masculine cat you charge to constitute sure it's something ok for the urinary tract.



Oak Brook

My cats cherish Equipment N Kaboodle! Ocasionally, as a treat, they amuse wet aliment.And they cherish the Gwhiskers cat treats.



Clifford

An inexpensive canned aliment of ANY affectionate is probably bigger for your cat than much a added expensive dry aliment.I don't trust the health of my cats to aloof one corporation, so I usually action a combination of three.You won't according to most of the brands I acquire since they are pricey, but I've used canned Friskies forever as thing of the blend with great results.Your cat is smart to prefer canned aliment.Offering her a blend of aliment -- Provided it is tolerated -- may be a smart way of ensuring that she gets all of the nutritian she needs.I don't think any one corporation has "the return" approximately how to food cats prepared foods.This spring's pet aliment recalls proved to me that much the priciest pet aliment can be junk...or poison.Whatever you decide, activity VERY VERY slow with the changeover or in the offering of another brand.

Pike Creek

You are right, friskies isn't good however i would still rather you food that then dry aliment.Stay out from the gravy flavours.You own wellness canned where you are and that is the ace provided he will eat it



Crosby

The ace aliment in the world is no great provided they won't eat it.Mine started on Wellness as kittens however any more they won't touch it.One of the ace brands recommended by my breeder is Innova EVO.I alive in Canada to & we own it.Looks & smells great enough for us people! However of direction, mine refused to eat it.They cherish crappy aged grocery store Fancy Feast, which certainly isn't my aboriginal choice however it's bigger than annihilation.At least they amuse a aerial quality dry formula to constitute up for it.



Comanche

I recommend Felidae, Innova for cats, Evo, California Accustomed, and Wellness.These are all healthy for your cat.Provided they are not available in stores near you they are available online.great luck finding one for your finicky kitty =]



Saronville

I aloof switched our 12 year aged indoor cat to Wellness brand wet aliment - it is all human-food-grade ingredients, with no grain or corn (which method no fillers, and too some cats can be hypersensitive to it).She loves it, it comes in several flavours.

What cat aliment is great for indoor senior cat with a sensitive stomach?

Ruma

My cat, who is 18 years aged, has recently developed quite the sensitive stomach.He has an upset tummy almost every time, & I think it's probably his aliment.I'm trying to acquisition one that fits all 3 qualifications, however I can't seem to acquisition a cat aliment for senior and sensitive stomach.He's been eating Iams indoor senior formula, and I'm considering switching him to Nutro Senior, since it says it's accessible to digest.Has anyone else used Nutro, or own any suggestions for a great brand of senior sensitive stomach aliment?



Stacey Street

Think approximately this...in the wild, are there special mice for senior cats? Nope.Why then should a senior cat charge special aliment? A senior cat (and cats of any time) should eat a species adapted diet to promote the ace health.By species adapted, I beggarly a canned aliment that does not own grains and by-products.These are premium foods, and they price a babyish added.But, in the continued run you will save all that almighty dollar and added since you won't own so several vet bills.I won't endorse one brand over another, however some of the great ones are Wellness, Merrick, and Accustomed Balance.Great luck with your kitty.I achievement his tummy feels bigger soon.



Holt

Nutro is a great product however in three years there own been two recalls.Activity to HillsScienceDiet.com and see what is available.Hills has neverbeen recalled and we that for our rescue kitties.(And no not donated;we purchase it outside of our pockets.)



Upper Lake

You are fortunate.You own gotten good help.canned foods no grains are ace.You can much accord your cat some plain chicken as a treat every once in a while For an upset stomach, you can accord 1/4 tab of pepcid ac 2x a time.It cannot be plain pepcid must be AC



Estill

Try something accustomed with no by-products.Wellness, Innova, Taste of the Wild or Chicken Soup for the Cat Lover's Soul all come in wet and dry versions.They are too for the majority grain-free.They are accessible to digest and should aid him.Switch him gradually since the added you switch the aliment, the added possible he is to own an upset stomach.My vet recommended plain meat child aliment when my cat wasn't eating.It worked well, however he needed a multivitamin too.Aloof constitute sure the child aliment doesn't own onion or garlic powder in it since several accomplish.Beech kernel makes plain chicken and plain turkey puree which were favourites.Vermont Naturals Daily Ace was the multivitamin we used.It's available in most pet stores.Provided he still has problems, you might want to consult a vet.He could own a added serious ailment that can be remedied with a medication.



Buffalo

though someone else said that in the wild there are no special diets for senior cats, it's a moot point since cats don't alive to be seniors in the wild.I've trapped hundreds of feral cats for the at the end 15 years, and own never begin one older than 3 years, and every one of them are unhealthy enough that they'd not possible alive to be added than 5 or 6 years aged.That said, you've gotten some great suggestions of aliment, however I really think you should amuse a prescription diet from the vet who can too run a hardly any blood tests to actuate what your cat's specific nutritional needs are.I dont' think it's a great concept to try to assume that what works for other senior cats will be the ace thing for him.Btw, thank you for life one of the rare responsible pet owners who doesn't discard them after a couple of years when they've "used up" their entertainment value, or own alter to an inconvenience.

I have a kitty. A big kitty who has been molly coddled food wise due to the fact that he is prone to FLUTD and obstruction.

I want to get him on a diet of sorts but am afraid to give him food like Science diet R/D because of the magnesium and calcium content and thats what the vet always gives him when I mention his weight.

What is this i hear about cats getting liver failure from their cat food?

Verlene

Is it safe to buy cat food right now?



Austin

Go to www. menufoods. com for the list of affected brands. I just returned my supply of IAMS and Eukenuba to Petco and bought two of the brands that were no on the list. Well, in fact, ALL the affected cat food and dog food brands have been taken off the shelves at reputable pet stores like Petco, Petsmart, etc. So I suppose that whateve is left on the shelves are safe. I bought Natural Balance cans and Castor and Pollux dry. Both these companies have not been affected by the recall becuase they have the good fortune not to have had any of their pet food manufcatered by Menufoods. This is what I know re-safe cat food:Purina line of cat foods (Fancy Feast, Friskies, Purina One, etc)WellnessInnovaNatural BalanceCastor and PolluxWhiskasNatures RecipeRoyal CaninChicken SoupShebaAll these are NOT in the lists of recalled. These are all I could think of at the momentTo play it safe, DO NOT buy cat food with "wheat gluten" as an ingredient becuase that is the ingredient presently under suspicion with the pet food recall issue.

Subscribe to stories like thisBy Andrew Bridges, Associated PressWASHINGTON — A major manufacturer of dog and cat food sold under Wal-Mart, Safeway, Kroger and other store brands recalled 60 million containers of wet pet food Friday after reports of kidney failure and deaths. An unknown number of cats and dogs suffered kidney failure and about 10 died after eating the affected pet food, Menu Foods said in announcing the North American recall. Product testing has not revealed a link explaining the reported cases of illness and death, the company said."At this juncture, were not 100% sure whats happened," said Paul Henderson, the companys president and chief executive officer. However, the recalled products were made using wheat gluten purchased from a new supplier, since dropped for another source, spokeswoman Sarah Tuite said. Wheat gluten is a source of protein. The recall covers the companys "cuts and gravy" style food, which consists of chunks of meat in gravy, sold in cans and small foil pouches between Dec. 3 and March 6 throughout the U. S., Canada and Mexico. The pet food was sold by stores operated by the Kroger Co., Safeway Inc., Wal-Mart Stores Inc. and PetSmart Inc., among others, Henderson said. FIND MORE STORIES IN: Kroger
