I knew what you meant, I just don't speak good. ;) I'll look into the capsules, as I'm sure we can get them. Thanks.

Oops, we don't have capsules or anything from Pure Alaska. It's a pump of Holistic Blend,and the ingredient list is simply "cold pressed Alaskan salmon oil".

Thanks. I was thinking of the Grizzly Salmon oil, but we do carry the Pure Alaska stuff too. Any thoughts on Grizzly?

So I'm guessing all the anti-fish stuff regards feeding it to cats regularly, not simply adding some oil to the food. Which makes sense, as allergies tend to come up due to meat protein... not fat or oil.

The only thread I could find that discusses fish oil at all was kind of short, and didn't really provide the answer I was looking for. To be frank... should I add salmon oil to my cat's food? I thought it would help with the skin and coat, and by not being the main part of the diet it would be...

I'd look elsewhere entirely, as the ingredient listing for both is far from ideal (say no to corn). Although the RC canned looks okay outside of the pork by-product.

If a brand has larger cans, you can save money by buying them instead of the smaller ones. It's a bit more work, as you'll have to cover and refrigerate the unused portion of each can, but it doesn't take so much longer that the money saved won't make up for it. Plus there's less waste. Also...

Yeah, don't think you're a bad parent because you feed dry, because that's not true at all. The fact you're willing to look into and join a site like this shows the opposite. Good parents are always looking to improve things for their kids, and that's what you're doing. I also agree that...

do they like drinking from running faucets, as many cats do? If so, then you could try a fountain instead of a water bowl. Or you could get free samples of Honest Kitchen Prowl, which is a dehydrated food that must be mixed with warm water before serving. 

I like to compare the male urinary tract to that of a roller coaster. By that I mean that the tract has many twists and turns, unlike the tract of a female that is fairly straight. That "roller coaster" thing makes it easier for crystals to build up, which can lead to infection or other blocking...

Thanks.

I hear the "but my dog likes it, and he's old" or "I had a dog that lived really long eating this 'crappy' food" all the time, and I too get tired of it. My analogy involves me loving ice cream, but not eating it for every meal. Not to mention that quality of life is as important, if not moreso...

Great. Another thing to add to the list of things I need. Okay, maybe I don't need it all, but I want my cat to be as happy and healthy as possible.  

It'll be a while since I'm getting a kitten, but I'll look into it down the road.

Thanks. We sell a lot of the Tropiclean to dog owners, but not cat owners, so I had no feedback to go by.

I'm not asking for recreational purposes, as I know that chewing bones can be good for dogs. I was assuming that was good for cats, but I don't see any bones/chews for them, so wasn't sure.

Either the gel or the foam. I'm not a big fan of the water additive for dogs, and figure it would be worse for cats because they don't drink much water anyway. I figure I would use Plaque Off once a year or so, depending on plaque and tarter build-up, but wondered if a more regular treatment...

I was trying to find out information about this product, as I know brushing can be difficult, but couldn't find a whole lot. Mainly it was just questions about an ingredient, rather than somebody that knew for sure. Any opinions?

I wanted to thank you for renewing this thread, because I had no idea that grain-free foods were bad for male cats.

Since we weren't getting any responses here I decided to do a bit of reading on the subject. It seems that cats would be okay with bones, but only if they're small enough. A couple of people mentioned raw chicken wings, as not only was the meat good for cats, but the bones were nice and small...
