Hello,
My cat stopped to digest dry food for some weeks. She often vomit some minutes after eating (many time in a weeks, sometime twice in a day). Vet did complete blood and urine tests and found nothing. We tried different vet dry food brands including hypoallergenic food, but nothing works. The only thing we found is that she can eat wet canned food. She vomit it from time to time (mostly undigested rice) but this is rare. She's currently eating Purina Pro Plan OM but the price is too high (1.5 can/day @ CA$ 1.99 ~ CA$ 90/mo).
We would like to give her Friskies wet food instead because the price is more acceptable for us (about CA$ 0.69/can). Her current Pro Plan OM contains 130 calories per can of 5.5 oz and vet suggested to give her 1.5 can per day (for a 7 years old indoor cat, about 14 lbs). Unfortunately, information about calories is missing on Friskies cans. I found the catinfo web site and found nutritional information for Friskies products, including information on calories. I see that most products contains much more calories than her current brand.
If I sort the data by calories, I find some acceptable products with 140 calories or less, but with high carbohydrates contains. I also have difficulties to match the product name with what is sold in Canada, because Purina think it's a good think to change product name between Canada and USA.
Can you help me to choose the better flavor for my cat? By better, I mean an acceptable carbohydrates level and not too caloric. I know I'm not purchasing "premium" food, but I would like to buy the least worst.
I'm also open to try another brand priced similarly than Friskies and available in Canada.
Thanks.
