    Feeding Dehydrated Raw Without Rehydrating

    By the way, the moisture content of Feline Natural freeze dried is 8 %, it is higher than all other freeze dried and similar to some kibbles like Farmina 8 %. Kibbles are normally 10 %. Also I remember contacting Primal regarding feeding freeze dried without rehydrating, and they said I can do...

    Feeding Dehydrated Raw Without Rehydrating

    Well I have 4 bengals that have been on feline natural without rehydrating for 8 years now . One week they have freeze dried, next week frozen raw patties from Tollden farms, alternating. When fed frozen raw, they barely drink at all. When fed freeze dried without adding water, they drink a...

    Orijen Cat Food , Get 30 % To 60 % More For Same Price Bybuying Small Bags

    Well, for my area all 4 flavors of 12 oz bags are $4.50 each and the 4 lbs 4 flavors bags range from $ 32 to $ 40. So for example for the price of a 4 lbs bag (64 oz ) you get 7 bags of 12 oz ( 84 oz). And that's for the cheapest flavor . For the rest of the flavors, you do the math and...

    Orijen Cat Food , Get 30 % To 60 % More For Same Price Bybuying Small Bags

    I know that's unusual, and like you said it is the opposite, but when I saw the prices in 3 different stores, I had to post. It does not make sense, but is is like that and looks much cheaper. I don't want to post prices, as I don't know if that is allowed, and my area is in Montreal.

    Orijen Cat Food , Get 30 % To 60 % More For Same Price Bybuying Small Bags

    For anyone who feeds Orijen kibbles in Canada ( not familiar with US prices ), I just noticed that by buying the small 12 oz bags, you get about 30% more for the same price. Like you can get 7 of the 12 oz bags for the same price of a 4lbs bag which gives you 5 1/4 lbs . So you have an extra 1...

    after vaccination care and common side affects

    Not to be pessimistic, but if you read my post about it, my cat symptoms lasted 12 days.On the other hand, my other cats lasted between1 and 3 days which is the norm I guess, but could be longer also. I panicked as I never  had symptoms last that long, but now I know it is possible.

    Cat still in pain almost 5 days after vaccine ??

    My regular vet which I've known for over 20 years does not do shots anymore. He's now assigned  at more important cases. The vet who gave the shot  at the same clinic was very very young, and I think he got the training at Bestbuy as he was more interested in selling me all kinds of other...

    Cat still in pain almost 5 days after vaccine ??

    Well I'm glad to say that it took 12 days after the shot for swelling to disappear, and no more pain. As of this morning, I can touch her at that spot without any meowing or anything. Never thought it could last 12 days. As for the food, still not 100 % appetite, but almost there. I don't think...

    Cat still in pain almost 5 days after vaccine ??

    Thanks for asking Mani. She's more active, but still I can't touch her on that spot. I feel some swelling ( compared to the rear left foot ), and she'll meow if I touch her there. She's not limping, she runs, jumps, etc... just sensitive area. it's been 9 days today since shot. Called the vet...

    Cat still in pain almost 5 days after vaccine ??

    My 14 month cat got her booster shot at the vet 4 days ago. She went through the sleepy, grumpy cycle like my other cats before her. Now she's past that, but it still hurts her when I touch her rear leg  ( where she had the shot ) even if just caressing her. I don't feel any lump. Called the...

    canned food reviews

    My cats have no need for either. They seem doing fine on wet food, and I do give once a week a hairball remedy for maintenance, although I hear bad thing about those products. Anyway, i do not wish to hijack the thread, so we'll stick to the fancy feast  product. My cats will eat any flavor they...

    canned food reviews

    I was discussing that with my vet assistant this morning, as I do feed FF Classic  or Pate in Canada and very happy with that . She does the same also, but she says she feeds twice a week non Pate or Classic to help with the hairballs. Is it true that FF containing grain is better for hairballs...

    Looking for fish-free food

    Well , in the wild I don't think cats ate anything that is offered today by pet food manufacturers like beef, pork, lamb, bison, and some other exotic meats. Maybe at the most a chicken. I would think their meal was composed from mice, insects, birds,  small snakes and things like that, and none...

    Looking for fish-free food

    That article is against homemade fish meals, but it does not mind at all commercial fish flavors. My dentist used to feed raw fish to the cat, I guess that is bad. But according to your article, there is no harm at all  in feeding commercial canned food based on fish. By the way,  I don't feed...

    Looking for fish-free food

    Does fish really matter that much ? My dentist used to live in Cambodge and Thailand and he told me they fed their cats almost strictly fish with occasional chicken but never red meat. And he said everybody does it over there as it is much cheaper and available, and cats live normal with no...

    Boreal Cat Food

    Boreal does not mention the PH in their food. Orijen  ( much more expensive than Boreal) claims it is between 5.5 and 6, and I do not know what is the correct ratio for a cat, nobody seems to mention that ratio in their food.  I know this won't do you good now,  but for future consideration, and...

    Boreal Cat Food

    Is this to do with Boreal  ingredients or with a lot of dry food ? I've heard a lot of bad stories about dry food.
