I had to file one claim - she needed surgery a few months after I got her. I had no hassles and I got the reimbursement check before her stitches were even out. That helped a great deal. How other claims will go - who knows? (Only have had the cat & the insurance since January.) There are...

Now that I finally got her off the shelter Cat Chow crack and onto wet food (phew!): Purina ProPlan (1st wet food she actually liked) and Nutro Max. Trying to ditch the Purina & meat by products. She seems to like Nature's Variety Prairie (nearly any flavor); also some Weruva pouches, Life's...

Wow - nothing? I have to wonder if they're a scam? (Cat liked her sample can, but with the price it could only be a small part of her selection...)

If you can answer - is just the Complete Care being replaced? (Cat'll be p.o.'d if you take her MAX Cat away! )

Yeah, a little bit of sugar vs. a lot of meat by-products in the old food I'm trying to replace. Hello sugar!

Absolutely. My adopted cat wouldn't switch to wet from her cheap shelter-fed dry until I gave her a not-so-premium brand that has a good amount of meat by-products and wheat gluten, but even on that her coat and eyes improved remarkably. And now she can stretch out and has a view from my...

I don't know about either of those companies (I have petplan), but just be careful. When I was shopping around, a lot of plans would consider a condition they covered one year to be a preexisting - and uncovered - condition upon the policy's annual renewal. Defeats the whole purpose of the...

Sorry - another question from the newbie: What's the feeling on the ingredient below? I was amazed that my cat liked a "healthy" food right off the bat when I tried it (Nature's Variety Prairie), and now I see that there's sugar. However, it's down at #15 on the ingredient list. Should I...

Does anyone know what's the deal with this company? I found them on petsumerreport.com with a good review for their canned food, but when I google them there's more info on them being an MLM company, pyramid seller, whatever. Edit: Oh, and the manufacturer - Ohio Pet Foods. (Anyone knows what...

My cat did that too. She'd lick the gravy but still look for dry. I thought I'd never switch her and then BOOM - I happened on a brand she liked and that was it. Maybe try one that's more a ground or pate consistency? He can't just lick the fluid then - it kind of forces him to take wet...

BTW - my apologies to Nutro - my cat is yanking my chain. I pushed the issue a little and she's eating it just fine. I think I've read so many articles/forums about recalls, pet health tragedies, "evil" pet food corporations, etc. that I'm starting to imagine things!

Yes, it is a little. The "good" Nutro she'd eat would plop out still shaped like the can, had clear gravy and had a distinctive, sharp odor. Now with the "new" cans it seems to fall apart easier and the gravy is a bit cloudy/has small bits in it. I don't think I noticed the old smell with...

Has anyone else noticed anything different with Nutro MAX canned food lately? My cat has a few times now backed away from certain flavors she used to love. I did call the company on the first incident and they said there weren't any changes in their process. ??? Any insights would be...
