I have 2 male cats 4 years old and both overweight 15.5 lbs. Both indoor with very little outdoor activity. I've tried just about every cat food know to mankind. They hate and refuse to eat wet cat food no matter what I do. About the most I can hope for is they lick the juice only. They only eat dry food and lick the wet.
I've been feeding them Blue Buffalo Wilderness dry cat food but they just keep putting on the weight. I've changed to their Weight Management without any noticeable changes.
My vet suggested and I tried Hill's prescription diet weight reduction dry and they really hated it.
I've looked into Dr Elsey's Chicken and Wysong Epigen 90 both very low carbs but high in calories.
They eat 3/4 cup dry between the 2, lick 2 cans wet and a couple of treats per day/.....Currently they are eating about 300 total calories per day each. I've read where they should get on the low end 20 calories per pound to maintain their weight 20 x 15.5 = 310 lbs per day.
Is any of the 2 cat foods I mentioned above good for weight loss?
If you're going to preach about dry food please don't bother to respond. I've tried everything and they refuse wet cat food other than licking the juices.
I wish I had all the money back that I've wasted on these two trying to get them to eat wet cat food.
