I'm leery about trying to turn our cats & dogs into vegans. I think it's good that they have some carbs in food, because isn't that why the lion is king of the beasts? The antelope does all the work eating the vegetation :lol: So I don't mind some fruits & vegetables in a formula, but...

That's a good point. I'm thinking about going back to Wellness because I've fed my cats that for 15 yrs., but I'd prefer to find something even better.

*jstie Pardon, I type too fast sometimes.

Hello jtsie- Ugh is right. As an aside, I LOVE Chewy. I've requested that they sell cans individually so that people can try things out before buying a whole case. Maybe if more folks do that, they'll implement the suggestion. Sometimes you just can't find a certain brand in the store.

Hi duckpond- Thanks for the reply. I've always heard it was best to keep them on one brand, so that's what I've tried to do, but these days it seems harder to find food that fits all my criteria (grain-free, preservative-free, all natural etc.), & that kitty will eat!

I have fed my cats Temptations in the past, but I do notice that treats often upset his stomach, which obviously shouldn't happen when you're only giving them a few. I now give him Wellness treats, which he does well with, but not often. My cat was only 2 when he had urinary crystals-it was...

I think I solved the mystery.... I just posted over on the NV Instinct thread I think they changed the formula, & added "natural flavor" to make the food more addictive. About the time he started scarfing down his food, probably coincides with the change. I hadn't checked the label in a...

Yes, unfortunately. I've been feeding my cat NV's Pride Wet Minced for about 6 or 7 months. I pay very close attention to every ingredient in my cat's food... A few weeks ago I posted that suddenly Romeo had started eating his food veraciously; while he loved this brand from the get go, I was...

No worries..I wasn't familiar with Dr. Pierson, but found that chart very helpful, so I just wanted to acknowledge lisahe for providing the link. Thanks. Now if I can only get him to slow down eating it! Putting his food in muffin tins (one of the tips I've read) isn't very practical. :tongue:

Sorry I can't edit. *acceptable

Hi lisamarie12- Thanks for your reply. Yes, I had a chance to look at Dr. Pierson's chart that lisahe posted last night, & I noticed the carb content didn't match NV's claims. Sad you can't trust companies to be honest with consumers. In looking over all the brands, however, few have the 80%...

Hi orange&white, PushPurrCatPaws, & lisahe- I appreciate your thoughts, & how quickly everyone responded. I feel reassured that Romeo's needs are being met, even though ideally there would be less carbs, & I'd prefer they took out the clay. After dinner tonight he passed right out because I...

Thank you for the replies lalagimp & Neo_23 :) They are foodies....I've had two cats before this one, & my dearly departed Calico always begged. I'm more of a helicopter parent with Romeo since I've raised him by myself. Romeo is 9-10 lbs. I feed him 3x a day, a little less than a 1/2 cup...

Hi- It's been awhile since I posted here, so I will thank everyone in advance for any assistance. My 3 yr. old, Romeo, is doing quite well after adopting him a couple yrs. ago. I fed him Wellness (Wet) for awhile, but switched when I noticed the texture changed, & kitty started turning his...

Cheers & thank you Kat0121 Everyone here is so knowledgeable, helpful, & friendly. Glad I found the forum.
