I was planning on trying out Terra Faelis for my cat, but they seem to put a random selection of herbs and vegetables in their food. For example, turkey has celery, coconut meal, and calendula (kitten) or zucchini, catnip, bee pollen? and chamomile (adult). Chicken has squash, zucchini, water cress, rosehips, catnip, and whey.
But on the plus side, they're single animal protein (let's ignore the bee pollen and whey I guess) and have pretty low phosphorous content, so I thought they would be suitable for my cat with CRF and IBD. Most of the other single protein foods I can find (in Germany) have a pretty high phosphorous content, and most of the low phosphorous foods have animal byproduct from multiple animals.
Anyone have experience with feeding Terra Faelis to cats with allergies or IBD or CRF? Do the side ingredients irritate allergies/digestive issues? Is whey even a good source of protein for cats (is it just the lactose that needs to be avoided)?
As a side note, I tried making one batch of food but my cat hates it and it's really depressing to throw out a couple pounds of meat so I'm a little discouraged from trying again. Maybe when I can afford a food processor to make it a nice pate texture. But until then I have to deal with commercial food with weird random crap thrown in.
