    Are you familiar with Beggin' Strips treats for dogs? "It looks just like bacon!" The dog doesn't know what the hell bacon looks like. It's done to make it appealing to the human feeding it not the animal eating it. And that's true for dry or wet pet food. Hill's puts pictures of carrots and peas on the front of their bags. Cats don't eat carrots or peas. It's to make us think it's healthy.

    I looked it up online, did a little research, I found out cats don't need any grain or veggies, or artificial Anything - and no fillers, but they do need a very high protein and moisture rich food. Think about it, in the wild or domestic life, back in the day, or on a farm, their main food is mice and rats. That's the perfect combo for them, containing the bones, for calcium, the moisture from the mouse's body, and high protein content. I found the best thing with highest protein I could find was: Earthborn Holistic Primitive. With 40% protein, the most important nutrient for cats. Moisture and fiber should be higher, but it's the best I can find/afford. They don't eaT AS MUCH, BECAUSE IT'S HIGH QUALITY SO THE EXTRA COST BALANCES OUT, IN LASTING MUCH LONGER. And they won't get diseases caused by a 'junk food diet', like commercial foods are. funny, just like us, people!

    The only 'natural' foods we can feed our cats are grass, mice, fish, and bugs. So if you don't mind gardening (grass), trapping (mice), fishing (fish), and collecting (bugs), then you're okay. Personally, I feed my 5 year old female Friskies Indoor Pate Chicken Dinner with Garden Greens (the ONLY canned food she will eat), and her 5 year old brother (I think he's a vegetarian) wheat grass and Purina Indoor Immune Healthy Blend (the ONLY cat food he will eat). I have spent literally hundreds of dollars buying all kinds of cat food, and these two are the only ones that meet my cat's culinary requirements. These cats will NOT eat anything with gravy or sauce, chunks, or fish - so I feed them what they want. Years ago I had a cat that would eat NOTHING but Friskies Tuna for 16 years. Another cat I had would eat only Friskies Pate that were not fish; he preferred Bumble Bee Tuna in Water. So, the bottom line for me is QUALITY of life. Wonderful! So-and-so's cat lived for 18 years, but she had to fight with the cat at every meal to eat what he/she did not like or want. I give my pets what they like and they love me for it. They get brushed every week, annual physicals and vet care, exercise (padded our wall entries with carpet), and lots and lots of love because that's what make life worth living - in my opinion. They're happy, we're happy, life is good.

  • @Bess1201
    @Bess12015 жыл бұрын

    my five cents on this: yes, some of these brands are not really good, for me especially Hill's because their dry food is extremely high in salt which simply isn't good for little cat kidneys. I actually tried to exchange the Royal Canin breed food we feed to our three tomcats (and have for the past 13 years) for several organic dry food brands, super high quality stuff, only organic meat, no cereals, grains, soy, corn, nothing of the like, but instad up to 95 pure organic meat content, and the rest vitamins, taurin, and several herbs and fruits. Well, and what can I say, none of our three cats could eat the stuff for a longer time. One of them started throwing these foods up after 5-6 days of eating them, every single time I fed it to him, and it happened with all those super hig quality organic brands we tried (it was about 5 different ones). All three of our cats did like the taste of these foods and ate them, and two of them (as I had to stop feeding it to the first mentioned as he always threw up) who got these foods for two to three months in a row developed skin problems and started losing hair, especially on the upper side of the ears. As soon as I then stopped feeding these theoretically very high quality foods, they all went back to normal, slim, healthy, fit, no digestions problems, and great skin and fur condition. As we have tested this many times for elongated periods over the past five years, it was clear every single time, that the reason for the problems suddenly occuring was because of these new brands of food. And as you critisize brands here who use vegetable oil - may I ask what is wrong about that? I see why you critisize high cereal content for carnivor animals, but a bit of oil? And to add this question: why, in the name of the big blobb is stuff like fruits, different herbs high in essential oils etc in these high quality organic cat foods? Cats don't normally eat cranberries, or basil or rosemary you know? And still they put it in those foods and I do guess that this is what all three of our cats reacted to. So, yeah, there are bad brands on the market, and as cats are carnivores, it's clear that foods mainly consisting of cereal and hig fat content won't be good for them. But the high price organic super high in meat etc. brands can't deliver as well. And I have to agree, we did go back to Royal Canin and the all three cats are in wonderful health, slim and fit with their almost 14 years now.

Being a vet myself, we know what we are saying when we prescribe a diet to you! After all we did go to school and spend many years learning about animals. Please don't disregard tour vet. In the same way you wouldn't disregard your doctor. All animals are different! Just the same way humans are different and individuals. Don't go around bashing companies just because it didn't work for your cat. Just the same way some people have different preferences, dietary needs, palates, digestive flora...same goes for animals.

    My cat was 3 when he was given to me and he never ate wet food. The first thing I did was introduce wet food and I give him small amounts of dry ( he seems to cleanse his teeth after a wet meal ). Unfortunately he is a very picky eater ( he will never have a weight issue ) and I feed him what he will eat. He likes Fancy Feast "Medleys", which have a good deal of moisture. I feel that wet food and encouraging water intake is one of the most important issues. Cats tend to not drink enough water and acquire kidney issues.

    I'm currently working at pet shop. I'v met 5 people who said they were giving Whiskas/Kitekat dry food to their cats, since it was cheaper food than the others. These cats were very young, most of them didn't live for over 2 years. 4 of them died because of organ failure. And 1 is currently sitting on very strict and expensive diet. It may not cause problems to every cat but be careful of these brands. Please, be careful when buying cat dry food. Make sure there is some real meat inside. Cats don't need dye in their food, it's meant for our eyes not the cats stomach. Also, it's more expensive to feed whiskas and other market foods, your cat is eating it a lot more just because there is not enough meat ingridients & needed nutrients for the satisfaction. Cat may be full for a while but soon he will need more. Also check their litter. Less feces - better. It means your cats stomach is absorbing everything he needs. Everything that comes out is a not needed junk lets say. I'm not saying *stop feeding your cat with market foods*, just be careful. Also, sorry for my english. Have a nice day!

    You may not know this, but when they say “chicken byproduct “ it is a way of describing intestines, heart, liver and other organs that cats eat naturally and those organs provide essential minerals, vitamins and nutrients for cats. Have you ever taken a Animal nutrition class or talked to a nutritionist? Some of the ingredients you think are undesirable are actually beneficial to cats. What makes a food bad is the portion amounts of ingredients.

    The reason why it’s problematic is because the company is not being specific with their sourcing - yes, non-domesticated cats would typically eat all organs, but it’s bothersome that a company is not being transparent with their sourcing. For one, many many many cats have food sensitivities to different types of meats and cuts, so having mystery meat in their food is not something that should be encouraged and limits peoples options. Another problem with unnamed meats is that AAFCO (the company that regulates pet food) goes by the 3 DDD’s when it comes to unnamed meats: the dying, dead, or diseased. Meaning: your cat is eating surrendered animals that were either dying, already DEAD beforehand, or sick. This could be a myriad of animals - duck, chicken, cows, pigs, and even animals from shelters.

TUNA is all Protein. At 17yrs she was loving tuna in water..i thought the protein good...NOT SO...she developed KIDNEY FAILURE BECAUSE THE TUNA HAS TOO MUCH PROTEIN. Her eyes were very cloudy as if she had cateracts. I TOOK HER TO A VET WHO STATED, SHE MUST SPEND THE NIGHT FOR FLUIDS..I HAD A GUT FEELING..SOMETHING WAS WRONG. NO WAY TO REACH A NIGHT NUMBER. ( called the emr number raised caine) SO, AT 4 IN THE MORNING I WENT THERE. THEY DO NOT KEEP STAFF AT NIGHT. I CALLED TO HER ..SHE WAS IN THE BASEMENT.( all my pets are talkers..I heard her loud and clear next the side basement window) 1ST TIME AWAY FROM HOME. I TALKED TO HER THROUGH A WINDOW ( by the way we can communicate and they do understand..call it telepathy..psi whatever. I went home and called a friend who is a vet.."make sure they give her iv fluids in the morning, bring her to me in a couple days after she calms and fluids take hold.) WHEN I PICKED HER UP THEY INFORMED ME SHE WAS DYING FROM KIDNEY DISEASE ( true) AND WOULD NOT LIVE VERY LONG. TY BYE...I TOOK HER to MY FRIEND 50 MILES FROM HOME. MY FRIEND HAD APT ATTACHED TO THE VET HOSP. SPIDER STAYED A WEEK . FROM THEN ON I WAS GIVEN SQ FLUIDS IV TO GIVE HER WHEN EVER HER EYES CLOUDED. I DID THIS 2 OR 3 TIMES A YR AND CHANGED HER DIET. [ SPIDER LIVED UNTIL THE DAY OF HER 21ST BIRTHDAY. SHE WAS LIKE A KITTEN STILL CLIMBED A 40' TREE.] THE SQ FLUIDS I HUNG FROM A PICTURE FRAME ABOVE THE SOFA ..THERE IS NO PAIN AND VERY EASY TO DO. THERE IS NO PROBLEM LIFTING THE SKIN TO ADMIMISTER AND IN A MATTER OF HOURS ONE BEGINS TO NOTICE A DIFFERENCE. IN A DAY THE PET IS AS GOOD AS NEW. PLEASE GUARD AGAINST TOO MUCH TUNA AND RESEARCH ..RESEARCH..THE INGREDIENTS ON A CAN OR PACKAGE ONE BY ONE...DO NOT ACCEPT A WORD FROM PAID COMPANIES WHO REVIEW. READ EVERY THING..THERE MUST BE BALANCED DIETS. WHEN A PET EEJECTS THERE IS SOMETHING NOT GOOD OR THEY WOULD NOT REFUSE. IT IS NOT BEING SPOILED. MANUFACTURING PROCESSES HAVE CHANGED..HUMAN GRADE CAT..DOG FOOD ETC., IS FAR SAFER. HOME COOKING OR WITH A CROCK POT OR SLOW COOKER IS BEST. MANY RECEIPES & TUTORIALS ON UTUBE... PLEASE GUARD AGAINST TOO MUCH TUNA AND PROTEIN..THERE MUST BE VITAMINS..MINERALS WHICH ARE IN BALANCED DIETS. HOPE THESE SUGGESTIONS ARE HELPFUL...MY BLESSINGS TO ALL.

    @marcia1538 жыл бұрын

    Some of the good ones are Nature's Variety Instinct 95% meat (canned), CORE by WellPet, and the Wellness canned foods, especially Turkey and Chicken ... I avoid the fish formulas because once a cat has fish, they sometimes won't eat anything else, and fish can have higher trace metals and ash. Also good are EVO 95% meat canned, and Blue Wilderness 95% meat canned. Dry foods alone are not a natural diet for cats. They are okay for a once per day "snack" type meal. They have only 10% moisture, where canned is more like 70% ... closer to the natural model of hunting live prey. The cats who are free fed a dry only diet often end up with diabetes and urinary tract problems. And giving cats grain foods is a travesty on cat health. I am on every kind of help I can get right now due to cancer, but my cats still eat well. It's a matter of priorities. I can skip lots of things, but I cannot skimp on my cats' diet.

    As of last week, I took my cat off of Hills c/d and got her onto Nature's variety instinct dry, which is a little better, but now she is hardly touching it, too. She has a follow up vet appointment tomorrow and has not drank or ate anything but two bites today...so scared I am going to lose her...no thanks to over a year of eating Hills c/d. I am also trying to get her onto wet food but so far she won't touch it...might have to start force feeding her to save her. Next I want to move onto raw. I adopted her when she was 3 years old and the folks before me fed her nothing but dry and now it's my duty to do all I can for her. I just hope and pray I don't lose her. Also, she has not pooped in 3 days and the vet gave her a stool softener...obviously it isn't working.

That's my biggest piece of advice to you.

    SirReptitious I think this list was aimed at dry foods, the wet foods of even the bargain brands are actually often pretty decent. In fact, a lot of vets are now saying that they would rather see people feed their cats the cheapest, lowest end canned foods than the highest quality, most expensive dry foods because cats on any form of dry food are chronically dehydrated.

    Yeah, I've been hearing a lot over the last few years that dry food is bad, and it does kind of make sense when you think about how it is TOTALLY not like anything they ate in the wild. With all the cats I have had I have fed canned food as the main diet, but with a small bowl of dry food available at all times in case they get hungry in between. I have been lucky that I have never had a cat that I had to restrict food to keep them from getting fat.

    Vary the brands you use and use both dry and wet. Make sure you have LOTS of FRESH WATER at all times. Cats can eat Tuna fish (just like we do). I do the best with what I have moneywise. Multi cat household. Regular Vet visits...INSIDE ONLY cats. My cats range in age from 8 months to 12 years with 2, 4, 7 and 8 in between. It's hard to lose a pet, so...just like my children...I do the best I can. They eat some of the brands on that list and I've tried others such a Blue Buffalo, which gave one of my females crystals in her urine within a week. Vet told me that Blue Buffalo was not a great choice. I see the brands that office has, but they may not be the brands I buy. I think it's important to vary the brands you use. If you find one they won't eat...dispose of it and get something else. One cat eats broccoli and some like pieces of block cheese (I don't use processed cheese or margarine), but some don't like cheese. Every cat I own has a different personality and each one may have a 'favorite brand', but they can't tell me that verbally....only by watching HOW they eat can I determine what they do and don't like. So...just like you said.......some of my cats are not 'spring chickens' and they eat some of the brands on that list. I think every Vet may have a different opinion as well. Just saying. I love my cats and I do the best I can for each one of them. Can't ask for more than that. By the way...my cats are also INDOORS ONLY ~!~ That alone can extend the life of a cat. Outdoors is just not safe so mine have a fun and safe time INSIDE ONLY.

    Hi so I have seen a ton of people comment that all these foods are the only one in their pet stores, the reason for that is money those pet stores do not care what they are selling to you and nor do the brands they just want the money. Pet stores also do this because they know people think that if it is in the pet store it is safe for your pet but that is not the case. An easy solution to this problem is doing your research finding a brand that will be good for your pet at a price range for you and buy it ONLINE it is crazy how easy it is to buy food online safe easy big selection and you do not have to go anywhere. Thank you for reading this I hope you have a fantastic day and you make a great choice for your pets food.

Btw he went from being punked to being the boss around here(they have to wait till his done eating now haha). Also many better dry cat foods only have a little bit of extra meat and a whole bunch of grains and even corn. I dont see how thats better than 9 lives and they also been around for years.

    I don't know... Our first four indoor cats lived between 18 and 20. (we had a dog too that wouldn't eat dog food once she ate some cat food) The dog lived to be 18. All they had was Purina Cat Chow and occasionally Friskies wet food. The next four we tried "healthier" food, tried to keep up on their vaccines better. We think one got a volvulus maybe? And two had inoperable tumors at their vaccine site. Those four lived between 10 and 18. Now our two are 10. Purina Cat Chow Inside variety and no vaccines. As I stated before all of our 10 cats have been strictly indoor.

And if something ever did happen to your pet, like the loss of life, i bet you would pay ANY price to have them back! So just do whats right for them now! I beg everyone to switch to a brand that offers no by-product, corn wheat or soy, no artificial coloring or flavors. Your pet is worth it!!!

    Check out the KZread channel All About Cats! They review MANY cat brands thoroughly with lab testing, analyzing their protein content as well as providing unbiased reviews for what is the most species appropriate for our cats. Generally, the most revered cat food brands are Ziwi Peak, Tiki Cat, Weruva, Rawz, Instinct, and Wellness. These wet cat foods are revered because they have named meats, NO animal byproducts, NO grain, wheat, corn, or soy, low in carbohydrates, and generally have a straightforward ingredient label that is high in protein. Majority of these foods are more expensive and can be found at local pet stores. They are much more expensive than your regular grocery store brands but you will see the difference in your cat once you make the switch from essentially junk food for kitties.

Meal on the Morning and goes in the Garden for his daily snooze, early evening he starts wanting to be fed again. and about 10pm. It is a daily ritual with him all ways about the same time.

    No veterinarian, in private practice, is paid for recommending foods! Pet food companies do test their food on pets but DO NOT cut them open - they visually watch the pets health, they may draw some blood but the animals are not harmed and are treated much better than many privately owned animals. I agree with a few of on your list but please, by-products are NOT a bad thing, by-products are simply things that we (consumers)won't eat such as liver, kidney, etc (NOT fur, nails, feathers etc) - pets get most of their nutrition from such parts of the anatomy. If a pet is in the wild they will eat the organ meat first because that is where all the essential vitamins are, they don't chomp on a thigh of a chicken first - meat is important but not the only thing they need to eat. FIND A PRODUCT THAT IS RIGHT FOR YOUR CAT - IT MAY TAKE SOME TIME BUT NOT ONE FOOD IS RIGHT FOR EVERY CAT!

    No duh they are nutritious. Every single cat food brand out there is legally supposed to put a certain amount of nutrients to the food. The bad part is that the main meat source in these foods are animal by products. Animal by products are unconsumable meat like the head or the foot. That is not that bad. The bad part is that animal by product could literally be roadkill and rotten meat. Companies don’t have to tell where that meat comes from. AND the cat food is filled with carbohydrates and that gives cats diabetes. Cats are not cows, they are carnivores and they need to mainly eat meat. But when it comes to cheap food, fancy feast is not that bad because they prioritize meat over carbohydrates but they still use animal byproducts. But 9lives is food from hell.
