I posted awhile back asking if anyone had suggestions of a food that's similar to the Royal Canin Veterinary Diet, Rabbit & Green Pea. Didn't get much response, so I'm trying again.
Here's a list of the ingredients:
Ground peas, rabbit meal, rabbit, pea protein, canola oil, rabbit digest, calcium sulfate, dicalcium phosphate, salmon oil, DL-methionine, choline chloride, sodium chloride, L-lysine, potassium citrate, phosphoric acid, vitamins [DL-alpha-tocopherol (source of vitamin E), L-ascorbyl-2-polyphosphate (source of vitamin C), niacin, inositol, vitamin A supplement, thiamine mononitrate (vitamin B1), D-calcium pantothenate, pyridoxine hydrochloride (vitamin B6), riboflavin (vitamin B2), menadione sodium bisulfite complex (source of vitamin K activity), beta-carotene, vitamin D3 supplement, folic acid, biotin, vitamin B12 supplement], minerals [zinc proteinate, ferrous sulfate, zinc oxide, iron proteinate, copper sulfate, copper proteinate, manganese proteinate, manganous oxide, calcium iodate, sodium selenite], taurine, preserved with natural mixed tocopherols, rosemary extract, and citric acid.
Guaranteed Analysis %:
Crude Protein (min) 30
Crude Fat (min) 11
Moisture (max) 10
Crude Fiber (max) 7
This food is $35 for 6.5lbs., which (now that our other Ragdoll is eating it too) lasts about a month. So, it's not TOO bad if you think of it as $15/mo. per cat, however, I'd love to find something less expensive, that we can also buy in larger quantities (6lbs. is the largest bag anyone sells), and not always have to get it from the vet (it's a perscription diet).
I have tried the Natural Balance Green Pea & Duck, and that didn't go over well. We started this food due to constant loose stools, and it has definitely helped, although he still has 'loose' days. I've tried wet food, many different brands/flavors, and it just doesn't agree with him.
I'm thinking maybe a Venison formula might agree with him? He originally was on Chicken Soup, which is why we chose to try a Rabbit formula first. So I'm thinking nothing with chicken, or duck (makes sense, both birds). Doesn't Natural Balance make a Venison forumla? Anyone know of some others that do limited ingredient diets?
