What is it with people who blame the pet food company every time their pet gets sick? Especially considering they can't be bothered to take their pet to the vet when it gets sick?
For example this review: Purina Kitten Chow - Wish I had looked here before kitten #2 died after eating this stuff. We got one kitten in June and in early August he got sick, laying around, not eating and died. We got two kittens in September and one kitten died this week. Both were about 12 weeks old. So kitten number 3, who is also about 12 weeks old will not be fed this kitten food ever again. I contacted Purina, let's see if they respond.
They knew the first kitten was getting sick, but never took him to the vet? The same with the second kitten?
Or this one: "I didn't realize my Cat, Boris, was ill from the food, I just noticed he started losing weight rapidly.I tried feeding him canned food, and then the expensive refrigerated cat food, which he would eat, but clearly was sick, and still losing weight. He died a VERY slow and painful death on August 23... It was clear he was dying, and wanted to be inside... So I let him in."
Umm, what about taking your cat to the vet? Really! You know your cat is sick and losing weight rapidly and couldn't be bothered to take your cat to the vet!
Is the cat food really making the animals sick, or are the owners the issue? How are people supposed to make an informed decision on whether that brand of pet food is safe or not, when others write reviews without any supporting evidence that the pet food was the problem?
Not every digestive problem means there is a problem with the pet food. I have one cat who will throw up randomly. She has suspected inflammatory bowel disease... If you take her off steroids she will have vomiting and diarrhea. It does not matter what food you put her on! I've tried dry food, wet food, grain free, hypoallergenic, different proteins, etc.
I had a rescue kitten who had seizures. He was malnurished and all his other siblings did not make it. I doubt the pet food was what caused his seizures!
