Heya,
I got 4 cats (yeah I know)
- 9 1/2 year old male (weight the least at 11 pounds I believe) Tabby
- 4 1/2 year old female (the fattest - 19 pounds... used to be 21) Tabby
- 2 Persians twins - at 1 year a piece - male and female
Normally for dry food I use the C/D Prescription Hills diet for bladder. I use this one 'cause I heard that it helps against forming blader stones I think for males (since they are more susceptible to it)... it's NOT a cheap brand! I pay $69 + 13% tax for a big bag
But recently someone (not sure how much of it is true) told me that his vet said, that particular brand is high in carbs and can help precipitate diabetes... is this true?
So at this point I'm thinking - what brand of dry food should I get? My male cat shows no signs (as far as I can tell) or stones.. and I definitely don't want any of them to suffer with diabetes
Any recommendations are appreciated
