I don't think I had heard of Acana before so I'll look into it, thank you!My cats like Acana Bountiful Catch kibble. I mix with Fancy Feast Grilled Chicken. Both are doing well on it.
I've looked into Orijen for another cat once, but I'll look into it again - thanks!Another one here who uses Orijen.
I've never heard of this brand, thank you!Go Solutions has a line of high protein foods that are very good quality, some are grain free.
Thanks for your input! Orijen seems to be a popular choice, so will definitely be looking into their foods again.Another Orijen user for the dry portion of their diet. Tundra or Regional Red. Real protein sources are the first ingredients. I mix this with another kibble from Rayne Nutritional which is rabbit only. I had to do a novel food trial a while ago when we suspected one might have a food allergy and Rayne makes food specific for that need. No allergy to foods but she loved the kibble, but it was too low calorie for her particular needs. Mixing with the Orijen evens it out to a better calorie profile.
We feed wet and dry, both cats do drink water.
I don't think I've heard of Acana, so I'll look into it - thank you! We had a cat who ate Friskies and she lived into her 20s as well. I do agree about the choices!I tried several before I got them on the Acana. It was the only one that they really seemed to like and it doesn't cause them any stomach upset. My vet said not to feed grain free to our cats or dogs. Some people swear by it though. I also had cats live into their twenties on plain old Friskies. At the shelters, they feed them whatever is donated or available. Maybe that's why they usually have diarrhea when you adopt them. It seems to me that the more choices there are, the more confusing it becomes.
I certainly can understand why you're so passionate about this and I'm so sorry that happened to your puppy. I spoke with a vet a couple of months ago and she said some very enlightening things about the pet food industry.No offense to your vet but this is a subject I'm passionate about, having a puppy that was at one time was literally fading away from a grain-inclusive diet. The vets (mine included) that believe our pets have to have grains are *usually* basing their opinions on a FDA report that was based on a badly flawed study (paid for by big pet food companies) that has since been thoroughly debunked. The FDA has since corrected their position but did so quietly, which they usually do after making a mistake.
I totally hear you on this! I've lamented many a time, especially in the last several months, how hard it is to find a good vet. :/That’s fantastic news! I’ve lost full confidence in vets (even “human” doctors) over the past several years. They don’t seem to want to listen to us..I lost 2 cats because I listened to the vet..I’m so happy to hear your good Fortune
