Milo loves their turkey flavor of canned. Its 1% phosphorus on a DMB so borderline for CRF. But its fairly high calorie and he loves it


They have really good customer service IMO. I emailed them asking for the DMB of phophorus and sodium in all their canned foods...they emailed me back within five minutes with charts of all the nutrients (both as fed and DMB)

I love great customer service
... Just FYI 1% is generally thought of as High for phos with most medical conditions especially CRF ( most will aim for .5 to .9

I typically just use 1% DMB as the cut off line. Precise is definatly at the high end for CRF but at some point you have to figure in that the cat will eat the food very happily
I do add some (cooked) egg whites to his food to try lower the phosphorus.

I emailed a bunch of other companies as well if they have a type of food Milo is willing to eat. So after I get their replies I can figure out better what ones to feed him
I hope some of them are lower than the Precise of course.

Thanks

My CRF cat gets Purina N/F dry and Hills L/P wet.
Every other CRF food she hates.
Cleo has not had any blood since she was put on the N/B Duck and Peas.
What do you suggest I feed my other sphynx instead of the Precise?

To me any of the NO grain or a simple recipe ie one meat one starch or grain would be better....



Can the other one not eat the duck and pea for some reason



Furry ,I so understand and relate to the Cat like it s and will eat it ... I would recommend some but with all the changes I read the label every time I go shopping
