Flaxseed and tapioca (cassava or Yucca) cause cyanide is cat food that is toxic for cats and I’m fed up. I read some articles about flaxseed being banned or warned on using in France and Sweden. One reason mentioned was flaxseed causes cyanide in food. I had three Lotus rabbit pate cans tested at Nutridata Lab for cyanide and they showed an unacceptable level of cyanide for my cat. My cat has been eating this for months. I hope she is ok. It is ridiculous this is added into cat food.
So I’m looking for another rabbit pate and can’t find one not excessively high in protein that she needs for her kidney failure. I’m finding other things added in that are rediculous like barley or yeast. The latest is fenugreek seeds in another rabbit cat food. I have been consulting with the principal toxicologist of pesticide and veterinary medicine on Australia who wrote an article I found on cyanide in animal feed in Merck Veterinary Manual. I’m asking her about the safety of fenugreek seeds too.
Then there’s the canned food that has guar gum, cassia gum xanthan gum and carrageenan that all cause inflammation and allergic reactions. All of this added in is rediculous!!!!
Where is a low protein and low phosphorus unique protein cat food that is good for an elderly cat with IBD and kidney issues. Older cats tend to be allergic to chicken as is my cat and she is also sensitive to fish. So why are most kidney formulas chicken?
I am fed up. I am elderly and disabled. If I could stand up I’d cook for myself and my cat. There’s a company ”Just food for dogs” that cooks for cats and their stupid nutritionist insisted on including Yucca - cassava - tapioca even though that causes cyanide in the cat food too and even when I pointed it out to them they refused to formulate it differently.
I have asked Lotus Pet Foods to reduce dramatically or remove the flaxseed and sent them the Nutridata Lab food test on their food that showed Cyanide and the recommendations of the toxicologist but so far no response.
I’m fed up. Are you? Please tell the pet food companies how you feel about this and try to convince them to do things safer for our cats!!!!!!!
