My concern with canned food is:
1) factory raised animals. I believe most factory farmed animals have been given lots of antibiotic and I think most canned cat foods are from factory farmed animals
2) most canned cat foods have carrageenan
3) bpa in can liners
My concern with dry food:
1) getting adequate water intake.
I'm in the process of switching my Camille Elizabeth to Orijen dry (chicken formula) because they advertise free range poultry with no antibiotics, etc.
My question is: Are many other people concerned with carrageenan and bpa? As far as I can determine from reading, carrageenan is likely a carcinogen. To me, with small animals like cats, any amount of a carcinogen is scary.
As a first time cat owner (kitten is 16 wks. old now), I'm trying to get myself up to speed and do my part in this inter-species relationship.
Many thanks for all responses.
