I am so confused!
I have 3 cats and have been feeding them Purina One dry, salmon & yogurt flavor, which they have liked for a long time. Occasionally, I'll add a can of Friskies or Iams to the mix for variety.
But now I have a 7-y-o neutered fat male with a urinary tract problem. I also have a 14-y-o neutered & slightly underweight (but healthy) male, and a 3-y-o- female who's starting to get plump. The old cat eats like he's starving all the time, but he just never has gained weight. (Wish I had that problem!)
I've been reading this forum to see what's recommended, so I went down to PetSmart and picked up a variety of canned to see what the kitties would like. I've tried Merrick for a couple of days. They hated it... kept looking at me like I was nuts.
ProPlan didn't go over very well either.
Now we're trying Nutro... the same reaction.
I'm mostly concerned about switching to something that won't aggravate UTI problems. PetSmart doesn't have Wellness or Felidae or Royal Canin except in the dry. I'm not interested in trying BARF... no offense to those who go that route.
Is there a dry or wet food that y'all swear by that's good for UTI and overall health for all cats? And where can you buy it economically? I'd be willing to order online if it saves money.
Thanks, everyone!
