Hi all! I was in my local pet store this weekend looking for a dry food I could use to supplement Juliet since I think she is slightly underweight. She will eat canned but often doesn't want to finish it but she loves dry treats and will eat them even immediately after she's walked away from her wet food. I figured a quality dry food might get her to eat just a smidge more calories and gain a little bit of weight.
After looking at every single bag at the pet store (and almost walking out empty handed because I didn't like most of the options they had), I found Catit Gold Fern Air-Dried food on a shelf near the treats. It appears to be a nutritionally complete food (unless I'm missing something) and the ingredients look really good to me. Anyone ever tried it? Or have any opinions on the ingredients included?
The ingredients in the chicken variety are: Chicken, Chicken Gizzards, Chicken Liver, Green Lipped Mussel, Fish Oil (preserved with Mixed Tocopherols), Natural Flavoring, Calcium Carbonate, Salt, Inulin, Brewer’s Yeast, Choline Chloride, Mixed Tocopherols, Taurine, Iron Proteinate, Zinc Oxide, Vitamin E Supplement, Niacin, Copper Sulfate, Thiamine Mononitrate, Sodium Selenite, Manganous Oxide, Vitamin A Supplement, d-Calcium Pantothenate, Riboflavin, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, Biotin, Vitamin B12 Supplement, Folic Acid
I did buy a bag and so far, Juliet likes it. It's VERY expensive at $22 for a 14 ounce bag but I plan on only giving her a small amount each day to supplement her normal meals. I also bought the Doc & Phoebe's Indoor Hunting Cat Feeder to put the food in. Juliet is very smart and easily figures out toys like this but her sister Contessa (who isn't overweight but the vet said "do not let her gain weight" so she's borderline overweight) just gets frustrated and walks away. So it's an easy way to give Juliet more food without having to supervise that Contessa isn't eating too much.
