Hello all.
I've been feeding my 13 cats a mixture of 4Health All Life Stages and 4Health Indoor Cat Formula (both grain free, dry foods) for about 5 or 6 months now. We buy 8 bags total, 152 lbs, that lasts us 3 months between ours and my mom's total of 18 cats. They get fed twice a day, 1/3 of a cup each time. Some don't even finish it all.
The last 8 bags we bought a couple months ago (we just got 8 new ones on Thursday) seem to have upset my cats' stomachs, which it hadn't done in the past. My mom noticed more vomiting and my cats went through a weird vomit stage too, ones that never did before, and right after they ate. Now recently I know of at least two cats having diarrhea, I thought it was just one of my cats and maybe he was just sick on his own, took him to the vet and everything and is on a GI anti-inflammatory and antibiotics, but I've seen another now who has diarrhea. I'm beginning to think it was a bad batch of food after the vomiting and now diarrhea.
I'm just curious if anyone else has bought 4Health dry cat food in the last couple months from Tractor Supply and if you've also had any issues with your cats bowels or throwing up. Or if anyone has read that there has been a report of any contamination or anything. I have 8 new bags of food now and I'm unsure if I should use it or buy new food instead. If it's suggested to try a new food, any recommendations are welcome. I've been researching for hours and can't find anything that I like or is in a good price range. Right now we get 152 pounds for about $220 every two months, so $110 a month for 76 pounds. I'm willing to spend a bit more and was looking at American Journey, either the chicken or the chicken & turkey recipe, so if you know anything about that brand either, please let me know. Unsure still entirely on what to do at this point. None of my cats are acting sick, and if I didn't see diarrhea or if one didn't have accidents around the house because he wasn't able to hold his bowels, I would have never guessed something was going on with them because they are otherwise normal.
Thank you guys!
