    Should I switch to Diet Food?

    Hi, I'm hoping for some thoughtful opinions. I have a 15lb 3 year old cat trying to get down to a healthier weight. My vet took a blood and urine sample and found nothing alarming so he recommended Science Diet over what he currently eats which is wellness grain free wet. We agreed we'd wait...

    What would you do? Vets can't find a problem

    Hi there! I am hoping to get some insight on a very frustrating situation with one of my 2 cats.
