Hi all. I need some advice about catfood. My cats are currently on Solid Gold \tKatz-n-Flocken Cat Food. I used it initially to help them lose weight as both were definitely overweight. One of my cats has hyperthyroidism and is medicated. The issue is she is STILL losing weight. She started at about 12 lbs, was down to 8.4 lbs last year when she was diagnosed. Now she's down to 7.6 lbs. The other started around 13 lbs and is down to 8.4 lbs.
So now I'm worried about them losing TOO much weight. I need a food to help them keep the weight they're at (and possibly to help my kitty gain a little weight. I'd like her to get back up to around 8 lbs).
We aren't in a great area for good foods, but these are my best options. And to put it out there, they really won't regularly eat wet foods. They'll eat them every day for about a week then will stop. I think adding wet foods would be a good idea, but I'm not sure we can keep them eating those.
So here are the options:
Natural Balance
Wellness
Blue Buffalo
AvoDerm
Castor and Pollux
Wysong (as a lesser option, not as convenient for my mom)
I live in PA, and the cats live with my parents in WI... so I'm trying to do some research. I need something that's going to prevent them from losing weight anymore, but I'd prefer not to go to a lesser quality catfood and stuff them full of fillers.
Hope you guys and gals can help me out here! I'm definitely willing to try mixing wet and dry catfood again if we can find something they'll eat for more than a few days. Thanks!
