    anybody feed Hill's Prescription Diet z/d? and why can't I search the forum anymore?

    my cat Kirby has been having intermittent blood and/or mucus in his stool for many months. we first took him to the vet, who gave us an IVD Neutral food to try, but he didn't want to eat it. we then switched on our own to the Natural Balance Venison and Green Pea, but the blood would still pop...

    Whole Foods Cat Food?

    i was going to mention the Pet Gold Elite as well, which is the PetCo house brand. the cans are $0.50 with a P.A.L.S. card, 59 cents without it. i've switched to the Natural Balance Venison and Green Pea dry food as Kirby was suspected of having a food allergy (was feeding Nutro Natural Choice...

    A less dusty litter

    while i did find a little dust at the top of the bag, and thus it came out at the initial fill of the box, i find the scooping and raking afterwards produces close to zero dust. when i had regular clumping litter (ever clean, etc) raking after scooping kicked up dust storms. i find world's...

    Stop Trax or Group One Welcome Litter Mat

    i had seen the litter welcome mat at petsmart over the weekend when buying worlds best cat litter, but was planning to just get a booda Clean Step litter mat. turns out, after ordering it online, they called to let me know it had been discontinued. they asked it would be ok to send the nearly...

    Litter Maid Premium Litter

    the littermaid premium litter is corn based, which i've read is repackaged World's Best Cat Litter. you should be able to find WBCL for a little cheaper. Petsmart is selling the 17lb bag for $15.99 with their loyalty card. cheers, phil

    Fresh Flow

    i recall reading here that someone called Petmate to order a new pump, but the customer service rep first went through a quick diagnostic cleaning that fixed the problem. worth a shot to give them a call. when you clean the fountain, do you take the pump apart? hair and whatnot can build up...

    how can I control the smell?

    i've just switched to World's Best Cat Litter. it's made from corn and has a very slight scent. the litter clumps the pee, and you flush it down the toilet. the clumps are pretty hard, and with 4" or so of depth, the pee never reaches the bottom of the pan, so there is no residual odor in the...

    Worlds Best Cat Litter - discount at Petsmart... also, diff b/t Orig and Multi-Cat???

    great, thanks for the feedback. i did notice the grey-ish coloring through the bag, but i wasn't sure as the original is much more yellow/orange in the box than it appears through the bag. they apparently added some sort of plant based fragrance to the Extra Strength. had only the original...

    Worlds Best Cat Litter - discount at Petsmart... also, diff b/t Orig and Multi-Cat???

    after reading a number of posts here and elsewhere, i decided to give Worlds Best Cat Litter a shot. i had been using crystals along with a Litter Locker, but the monthly expense of the locker refills, and the smell of the box after a while (from urine) led me to try something new. so far (few...

    Automated Litter Boxes

    I had the bigger size litter maid (mega i think it was called) for 2 or so years. eventually, the sensors stopped working. unplugging and replugging would move the rake, so it wasn't a mechanical problem. i took the little plastic covers off the sensors and cleaned with alcohol, but still...

    another food question for kirby... related to mucus in his stool

    he's about 5 1/2. the next time there is blood, i plan to bag it and bring it to my old vet, who i've now relocated, for a test. by richer, do you mean the combination of protein and fat %? hmm, will look into the natural balance venison and green pea. does that mean no more canned/pouch...

    so in the past month or so kirby has had intermitent mucus and occassional blood in his stool. we called the vet my wife's family uses (the vet i used to visit left her original hospital). they didn't think he needed to come in for tests yet, but gave her some IVD Neutral Formula food to try...

    kirby only likes to lick the gravy of the Nutro pouches... is this odd?

    my cat Kirby loves (when i start to get a pouch out he meows his head off for it) the Nutro Complete Care pouches, but doesn't eat any of the actual pieces... he just wants to lick the sauce. i doubt this is normal, but is it a problem? i feel like i'm wasting the food. he will eat more...
