so go to www.yourdiabeticcat.com. Go to "Forums". Click on "Caring for your diabetic cat the basics". Go to Information and Resources. Click on "food lists and carb calculator". One of those sites is what you need.

you mean about carbs. I was feeding my 11 cats wet food after loosing one to FD and another coming down with it. However, it got soooooo expensive I now have to feed the best dry food to all of them except my diabetic buddy. I feed the Natural Balance Original dry. I hate doing it, but the cost was killing me. I spent days and days looking at carb counts and comparing them. I even dreamed about it. Good luck with your little fur kids!
