PUREST & HIGH DENSITY meat (canned) ? help

[Mrcclms]

Hello guys

I have posted here previously cause my cat is really sensitive and has an history of loose stool

I have tried many food and what I know is that he needs:

- turkey
- least amount possible of other ingredients

He has been on Buffalo Limited Turkey & Potatoes.
Past year he has done so well with perfect stool with the addition of Proviable probiotics.

Past 2 months instead it's been all Ups and Downs (diarrhea every few days).

Few deliveries of Buffalo has been inconsistent in their texture, more soupy, less meat, softer...and I always noticed that this gives him diarrhea.


Is there any canned food on the market that is 99% turkey, consistent, hard texture without jellys, veggies, carrageenan and other BS ?


thanks a lot

I think Rawz might be just what you’re looking for! Here’s a link to their turkey flavour: 96% Turkey & Turkey Liver Pate | RAWZ

I remember I have tried it long time ago and it gave him diarrhea, at that time I suspected the reason was the high dose of liver :/

I think I'd need something where the meat is not blended into a super fine pate' with all the other ingredients

There isn't a commercial canned food that is over 96% meat and is not pate. Have you considered a raw or home cooked diet?

Try a different probiotic. You don't necessarily need a pet specific one. Human ones are just fine and have higher CFU counts and more bacteria strains.

I've been trying to find a good probiotic. All my research has results in some questions: Human probiotics - Have heard different stories on whether or not to give to a cat. Have heard that you shouldn't give them to a cat because some human strains could irritate them. Have also heard that you...

Blue is one of the last brands I would ever feed my pets. They cut corners with sourcing and quality control and cover up their recall history with lots of advertising.

You're definitely going to be looking at a pate for a canned food without any starches (tapioca is one that they sneak in there a lot but it's full of carbs). If you want more texture, you can try some commercial raw foods like Primal, Stella and Chewy's, Tiki Cat has a good one now, and some other smaller brands depending on what store you go to.

Great canned options are Dr. Elsey's, Ziwi Peak, Feline Naturals, Meat Mates, Hounds and Gatos, to name a few. If you think liver might have caused problems, try and find the flavor from a brand with a lower fat content. Most of them list his info on their website.

However, it could just be that your cat has a sensitive digestive system and new foods should be transitioned to slowly, feeding a mix of the old and new food for a whole and gradually increasing the amount of the new food. Any sudden change can disrupt some cats, even if it's healthier.

Have you tried the Koha LID? They have pate and "shredded" though the shredded is more of a ground than a shred.

Atm I'm back to Buffalo Turkey and Potato

the new batch seems way denser and my cat is doing better

When I feed it I remove all that jelly/filler that surrounds the meat

Be careful-ask your vet if that's ok. Not feeding all of the parts of the food risks excluding important vitamins/minerals/nutrients needed to provide a balanced diet.

Hound&Gatos has a firm texture, at least used to have two years ago when we tried it.. it does have agar agar though.
