Both supply to dogs and cats, too.
Alabama Pet Foods will order for you, if his supplier can get it.

Thanks a lot!

Wow! I used to live in the birmingham area (montevallo) and wish that I had known about those stores when I was there....Not that I had a cat while in school there, but would have been nice to know about it at least.

We don't even have a petsuppliesplus in the area I live now...so it's grocery store, walmart, petsmart, or petco. I order the "fancy" cans i.e. EVO, by-nature, NB online from petfooddirect and buy the cheap stuff locally.

catsallover- They sell some of the by nature products at petsmart. I saw the organic version of their 95% meat cans there a couple weeks ago and got 2 for my cats to try. You could do that, then order some online if they like them (they are way cheaper online if you use the coupon to discount shipping and order at lot at once).

I'll have to check my bag of Max and see if it has the oil in it or not.

Art

Oh that's too funny! I went to U of M from '89 to '92, lol! I was an art major! Things have changed sooo much since then!

I'll check the by nature there- thanks for the by nature online tip .

You didnâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t mention a Costco in your area but thatâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s also not your typical pet food place.

I feed my guys Kirkland Signature Maintenance Cat Chicken & Rice Formula. I have a friend with a Costco card so I just go with her whenever I need dry food (its sold in 25 lb bags for $16).

I didnâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t see any fish ingredients but I couldnâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t find a list online so I typed up the label. I donâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t know anything about Urinary Tract needs, but it isnâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t marked as Urinary Tract friendly.

Ingredients:
Chicken, chicken meal, whole grain brown rice, ground white rice, chicken fat (preserved with mixed tocopherols), natural chicken flavor, flaxseed, potassium chloride, salt, calcium sulfate, calcium carbonate, methionine, choline chloride, taurine, dried chicory root, zinc proteinate, vitamin E supplement, niacin, manganese proteinate, copper proteinate, zinc sulfate, manganese sulfate, copper sulfate, thiamine mononitrate, vitamin A supplement, biotin, potassium iodide, calcium pantothenate, riboflavin, pyridoxine, hydrochloride (vitamin B6), vitamin B12 supplement, manganous oxide, sodium selenite, vitamin D supplement, folic acid.

Magnesium is 0.1% Maximum

I hope you find something that works for everyone very soon!

Thanks! We have a Costco about 25 minutes from the house, but I don't know if I know anyone with a card (my bff had one, but doesn't now).

I didn't see anybody list California Natural Chicken and Rice Flavor... The only con is that it's on the hard side to find. I'm in a major metropolitan area and have found only 2 pet supply stores that carry it. But it's cheaper to order online if I can find some coupons to cover the cost of shipping.


Ingredients: Chicken, Chicken Meal, Ground Brown Rice, Chicken Fat, Sunflower Oil, Flaxseed, Natural Flavors, Taurine, Vitamins/Minerals.

Neat!
I went from 00 - 05 - BFA in art (drawing concentration)
Then 05 - 06 MEd in education (art K-12).

Was Dr. Scot Meyer, Prof. Scot Stevens, Ted Metz, and Prof. Procter there when you went?

SHARKY
Hi
I have a sensitive bellied maine coon 7 months
he is on [after transitioning off hills i/d ]
before grain chicken dry and natural balance can duck and pea

are there other limited ingredient[fishless best] cat foods out there
Id like to add a new food without causing stomach problems
as you well know every food it seems has fish ingredients
he is tolerating the fish oil

I am glad he is tolerating fish oil .. that will make it easier

California natural make a chicken and rice

Natures variety has a few that are fish free ( I think)

there are more just not on the top of my head ( some foods make kitten and senior fish free_

UPDATE ON FOOD (sorry so late!):

No news, lol. I was trying the Authority Senior, but I thought Bird was losing weight, so I took her off of it. Turns out she was only losing her winter coat, heh, and only weighs an ounce less (vet visit). I am going to keep searching though, since they weren't exactly thrilled with the Authority. *sigh*.

Whoa, sorry, it's been a while since I checked this thread :O ... Yes, they were! I was there (maybe I already said this, lol) '89 to '92 . Prof. Protor was my advisor.

There should also be James Wellbeloved. Used by many cats who need low allergenic food.
I think it should also be accessible in USA.

Several years ago I compared Royal Canin and Hills, as our stud had some issues - oversensivity - with fish. Royal Canin had fish oils, but not Hills. - In any case not the Hills we did used...
I dont know recent receipts of Hills, but then and there Hills was somewhat more safe.


(btw. The fish-issues disappared when he become a harmonic castrathe )

Oh. So perhaps it is possible to get in on post-order from abroad?

It will surely cost more, but perhaps not SO very much more.

Some might IMHO it is about level with most mid grade premiums and thus I would not go to the extra expense

I have a cat that can't have FISH at all, mostly all cat food has a small amount of fish apart from Purina One Urinary Tract Formula. There might more out there but my cat is doing good! (his hair falls out and has bloody stools if he has fish of any kind ) I hope this helps

Just a note that this thread is from 2009.

Anyone who has problems with cat food allergies will no now a little something
