    Evo Turkey n Chicken Dry Cat Food

    Meh. Cats still like it. Don't use it often enough for one bag of it to impact my boys...also mix it with another product.

    Blue Buffalo Dry - poor choice?

    I wouldn't worry about it. Some dry food is okay for healthy cats, but I agree that most of the diet should be wet food. BB is a decent brand. If dry food makes you leery then try some Blue wet. I have seven cats that have been on Blue for years and are doing well.

    Blue Buffalo and crystals?

    Any dry food can trigger UTI issues. I've heard reports of practically ALL dry foods doing this - not just Blue, not just Wellness, etc. Feed wet-only or majority wet food if you want to avoid crystals, stones, or whatever. I have 7 cats. All eat Blue dry and Friskies wet. One got crystals. The...

    Safe commercial pet foods without toxins, controversial ingredients -are few and far between. What t

    Food-grade carrageenan is not carcinogenic. The EU banned it in infant formulas out of an abundance of caution, not because there was any scientific evidence that it actually causes harm. DEGRADED INDUSTRIAL carregeenan (otherwise known as poligeenan) IS carcinogenic and not permitted for use in...

    Inexpensive, grain free dry food?

    Listing red lentils, green lentils, peas and chickpeas separately is not ingredient splitting as they are not the same species. They are different ingredients with different nutritional values.  All dry foods need a starch to bind together, and I'd rather see that binder starch come from lentils...

    Evo Turkey n Chicken Dry Cat Food

    My cats love EVO. Maybe you could call them up and ask them what they've done to clean things up and then decide from there?

    Pork in cat food - what's the deal?

    I just think it's like a novel protein. Sort of like lamb in cat food. My cats love red meat even though it's supposedly not good for them.

    Low budget high quality food

    If you've access to a PetSmart, you can try their Authority brand, the "Sensitive Solutions" one. There's no corn in that. Or, if you have a Walmart that carries it, they have a brand called "Evolve" with, last time I saw it in-store, came in a shiny foil-like wrapping.

    Am I hurting him? :(

    Well, he's got a lot of tartar for sure. His gums really don't look THAT bad, but he doesn't really let me look too closely.  I know this sounds weird, but I have been studying with great interest photos and descriptions of various states of feline gum disease and while he's definitely got some...

    Am I hurting him? :(

    Should I try feeding him raw meat chunks? Could that help his teeth without hurting him?

    Am I hurting him? :(

    Hello everyone. I have a red tabby cat named Toby. I adopted him when he was five years old. At that time, he was very overweight and just by changing his food (previous owners feeding him Meow Mix I think), I got him to lose some weight. A few months after I adopted him, I took him to the vet...

    Best "Box Store" Dry Food?

    I believe Walmart carries a 'premium' brand of dry food called Evolve. It looks like a middle of the road premium kibble. Not grain free, but no majorly red flag ingredients. Krogers in my area carry Nutrisource for some reason. As always, I prefer raw and canned over kibble, but to be truthful...

    Purina Kit 'N' Kaboodle

    I'd like to add my two cents about grocery store brands - in my area, Kroger now carries Nutrisource. It's considered a premium brand, and it's pretty darn good if you must feed dry.  Additionally, Wal-mart carries their own premium line called Evolve. I'd say it's comparable to Chicken Soup and...

    Ear rubbing and feline herpes?

    Hi Stephanie. I definately agree that starting the lysine again is important. He is on a grain free dry food and special diet Friskies wet. Thanks for replying!

    Ear rubbing and feline herpes?

    Hi all, I have an 8 year old red tabby cat. He's a sweetheart! :) However, he's got feline herpes that I'm treating with the lysine powder. Lately it's been very cold outside and he's come down with what appears to be a cold - clear runny nose and eyes, occasional loud sneeze. I'll admit that I...

    Simply Nourish cat food , new for my cats

    My cats love the Simply Nourish Limited Ingredient and the "Source" grain-free high protein dry food.  I work for PetSmart and after my discount I'm pretty much paying only $4-5 dollars for a bag of the stuff. The only thing I don't like about it is the only source of fat for most of the...
