Thanks for all the input everybody. Before I called the company, I needed to pick up a new bag of food. I picked up a 5.5 lb bag of Blue Longevity. It seems like a nice fish-based food, not overly rich, with calorie info right on the bag. Barley is an ingredient but it is pretty far down the...

Thanks for the input guys. I called the company today ( I got the number off facebook) and the calorie content is 450 for duck, 460 for chicken, and 480 for salmon.

Blue Longevity is fish based and not too rich. Might be worth a shot. Also the Nutro Salmon flavor actually uses chicken meal as the first ingredient, so if your cat is allergic to fowl, it might be best to try something else. NB LID foods like the one you used aren't very rich at all. Protein...

Petco is more expensive here too. Sometimes they'll have better prices than Petsmart--Nutro Max was on sale for $20/16 lb bag for a while--but usually they are overpriced. $17 for a bag of Purina Cat Chow? Who would pay that? The whole reason to feed that stuff is that it's $10 at wal mart...

I've had her on Advantage since she's been going out, and she is flea free. I guess I'll give my vet a call tomorrow and see what she has to say about worming. As far as safety goes, I live on a dead end road with light traffic. My house is up on a hill and she rarely ventures down to the road...

So my girl Prika, a one and a half year old tortie, made it a point this summer to escape from the house whenever the opportunity arose. I guess she got sick of spending all last summer and winter at the window watching and chattering at the birds, chipmunks and squirrels as they feasted at the...

I would like to transition my cat to LID dry food. She has a wheat allergy and most foods seem to have wheat or barley, or corn, which I'm not crazy about either. She is on a diet though, and I can't seem to find calorie content information anywhere online for Natural Balance LID foods. Their...

I was perusing the label on Solid Gold Katz-n-Flocken dry food the other day and noticed that garlic is among the ingredients. I was under the impression that garlic can cause irreversible anemia in cats. Solid Gold is a well regarded brand of food, though. Do you think the amount in the food is...

My girl loves the two talking cats video on youtube.

My cat was 10 lbs when I took her for a checkup in May, 1-1.5 lbs overweight. I was feeding 1/3 cup of dry in the morning and 1/4 of a can of wet at night. My vet suggested that I reduce the amount of dry to 1/4 cup. I did, and when I brought her in last week for a weigh in she had lost 3.2...

I agree with laureen227, it's best not to mix wet and dry together. I do add water to my girl's wet food though, every time. Instead of cereal, it looks like soup. She laps it right up. As far as throwing out the Friskies, you might want to hang on to it and add just a little bit to the TOTW...

I agree with catsallaround. Before the food ended up in your garage, it sat in a huge warehouse with poor temperature regulation. It then was transported on a truck without temperature regulation. It then sat at the grocery store's warehouse, which has poor temperature regulation. Like a garage...

Kitten formulas tend to emphasize two selling points: 1. The inclusion of DHA, an Omega 3 fatty acid found in mother's milk that supports eye health. DHA is found naturally in most cat foods, but I believe it is supplemented in some kitten formulas. 2. Higher calorie/protein content than...

I am a clinical counselor who visits clients at their homes. One of my clients' cats recently had kittens, and her brother is believed to be the father. I have advised her to get the cats altered and given her some information on low cost spay/neuter programs. As far as the kittens go, are they...

I recently became aware of Purina Cat Chow Naturals. Chicken Meal is the first ingredient, and the large 14 lb bag is modestly priced at $15 or so. It contains grains, but chicken and salmon too. I'm sure it's not as good as some of the other brands, but it seems to be a nice budget option. The...

$60 neuter, $80 spay

chicken soup? not grain free but by-product free and $27 for 18 lbs. good deal

I also came across Felidae. It is grain free and has enzymes to aid digestion. Seems like a good product and right now it's on sale, buy one 8 lb bag for $22 and get a second bag free.

I got my kitten last June from a local litter. I raised her on Purina kitten chow with the occasional Friskies can. As she got older I started feeding her Meow Mix. Well, over the holidays I visited my sister, who works at a Humane Society, and when she found out what I was feeding my cat she...
