So I work at a Petco store, and since we're always the ones digging around through product we almost always get dibs on really great clearance prices. A lot of the times when a product goes on clearance it only drops about 25%, but the longer it goes without selling the further it can drop. I've...

I tried the freeze dried bonito (tuna) flakes as a topper for food and those have worked really well for me... they're super stinky and since my cat loves tuna anyway they work as an extra incentive to try the food. (: We went from free-fed kibble to just raw/some canned in about three weeks or...

Excellent, thanks for the input everyone. I haven't tried much with my cat mostly because he's new to wet-food world (and we're going to go mostly raw anyway)... we sell a fair amount of most of the brands I mentioned (except maybe Solid Gold, but we don't carry a huge variety of that). There...

I believe the only one that is acceptable for cats would be the tuna with water... I feel like I read someplace on here in particular not to feed the oil version. Usually the human tuna cans are packed in olive oil (not fish oil) and too much oil of any kind is obviously not going to be good for...

It's strange, my boss said that the litter stained her cat's feet, but Shylo has been using this litter for over two years now and he just gets some of the dust on his feet after he uses the box (his legs are all white so you'd definitely see). I'd assume if the stains are related to the litter...

So this is less for my personal use (since Shylo is going to be going full raw eventually), but while I was at work today and going through the cat food section I couldn't wonder what you guys think of some of the brands that are on the shelf of big-box pet stores. I know a lot of them vary from...

Groupon would just be something where you order it online and it gets shipped to you. (:

It's similar to those other websites where manufacturers have excess product, so they can sell it for really cheap. They mostly have clothing and etc but they also have some decent selections of other stuff on there too. I bought my tablet for like $50 after the groupon price + a coupon, I think...

I've seen these on Groupon too if you guys haven't checked that out at all, they usually have some pretty sweet deals for pet stuff on there.

Finally got my testing supplies! About to test it on myself so I can get the hang of it before I work on his, haha. In other news, discovered that Shylo does NOT like venison. P: He's been clearing how bowl every single meal until I mixed some in there for him this morning... picked around it...

Any update on your kitty yet? Was thinking about him today... I hope he's feeling better.

@cocheezie Yep! I've also been reading and came across a helpful tutorial with pictures and everything on the feline diabetes board, too. When I get the test strips I'm gonna grab a sock to stuff rice in too so I can use that to warm the area. (:

My cat is also picky about texture- he wasn't super thrilled with pate at first either, but seems to like minced (but not flaked, those are much too big apparently haha)... now that I got him started on mixing raw in though he seems to have taken to a pate-ish texture much more readily. It's a...

Ok well good news is the meter will be here tomorrow, so I can at least start testing before meals/doses and then on my next day off at home I'll be able to do a more accurate curve! The one that my mom was able to get for me is actually a human one, so I'll just need a hand from the people on...

@LTS3 The first one was done after he had eaten and had his insulin shot at home (about half an hour after)... the vet had just told me to feed him and administer his dose before dropping him off in the morning. Shylo is pretty shy so I don't doubt that the levels are a bit off from being...
