To my horror, I recently realized that the vet recommended Merrick pates I’ve been giving my cat are a whopping 16% carbs on a dry matter basis! She really likes them but I’m worried that’s too much (I read to aim for 10% or lower).
She only gets half a can a 3oz day of Merrick, the rest is supplemented by the low carb pate options Fancy Feast and Purina One, with a tablespoon of low carb Only Natural Pet Poultry Kibble.
Am I worrying for nothing? Or is 16% carbs too much in the long run? Would it be better to feed only FF?
Can anyone recommend a middle of the road low carb pate option? She didn’t like Weruva (weird texture and low calorie for price) or Wellness (sniff and walk away). Wanted to try American Journey but those seem high carb too. Same for I and Love and You pates.
